Bottle Gas

The Princeton PiggyBack^® Delivery System is a proven method for delivering bottled gas that has revolutionized customer service and delivery efficiency.

The Concept

Since 1968, the European Gas Industry has used truck-mounted forklifts for their bottle deliveries. A PiggyBack can be mounted behind almost any existing truck or trailer. In some cases PiggyBacks can even be combined with existing lift gates. The unit is ready for operation in less than 60 seconds. Instead of rolling bottles, the driver can pick up an entire pallet, and get it close to the exchange point. Or, it can be used to exchange entire pallets. The PiggyBack works with any pallet system (eg. Weldcoa) and can increase your productivity with as much as 35%.

The Machine

Z2

The most popular unit in the bottled gas industry, world wide, is the Z2. This unit is available in one and three wheel-drive version, and has a capacity of 4,500lb. The unit is equipped with a Kubota diesel engine and can be equipped with several gas-industry specific options.

Z1

Like its big brother the Z2, the Z1 can be fitted to many gas applications. However, this smaller, lighter, model can be carried behind "beverage-style" trailers with roll-up doors. With optional retracting wheel arms, the Z1 will even mount to the rear of trailers which have rear axles positioned fully to the rear of the trailer.
