Mobile Homes

The Princeton PiggyBack^® Delivery System is a proven method for mobile home placement that has revolutionized customer service and delivery efficiency.

The Concept

You might already be familiar with the Princeton PiggyBack delivery system and how it can save time and money. It is available in many models, can be mounted behind almost any company's delivery vehicle, and is excellent for moving many kinds of materials. Now comes a new innovation that offers the same, plus more, delivery options with the forklift being mounted on the fifth wheel tractor instead of the trailer. This greatly expands the benefits of owning a Princeton forklift because the tractor can haul any kind of ball or pintel hitch trailer and still have the forklift on board for use at the job site. Also, the forklift is ready to use in less than one minute without the use of ramps! It unloads and loads itself onto the tractor!

Home Placement

The new delivery option uses a ball mounted on the forklift. When the forklift is used to move a ball or pinto hitch trailer, as small as a utility trailer or as large as an 85' long mobile home, you have a 300-degree turning radius. This option is invaluable at many job sites but particularly useful at modular home sites and communities. With modular housing becoming more popular and cost efficient, owning a Princeton forklift is a very smart purchase.

Save Time

When parking a home on a site with the forklift, you save time – sometimes requiring as little as fifteen minutes versus four hours compared to using a tractor. There is less jocking around, back to back and side to side, because the forklift can maneuver more accurately. Usually there is no need for planking. The wide tires on the forklift help protect grassy areas.

Get In Tight Places

Using the Princeton forklift for either parking a home on a site or removing one makes the operator's job much easier. The benefits of owning this machine are very apparent when parking a larger home on a site where a smaller home had been. It provides high ground clearance to clear water, sewer, tie downs, utilities and concrete piers. It also maneuvers around trees, bushes, mailboxes and signs.

Extra Uses

Whether you are looking to save time and money at your manufactured home community or want to offer your customers other services, the Princeton forklift is highly efficient. It can move sheds, decks, air conditioners, blocks, and stairs. It can remove trees, bushes, signs, fence posts and mailboxes. It can also assist with tip outs, slide outs, and awnings on mobile homes.

Owning a Princeton forklift and fifth wheel mounting system allows a fifth wheel tractor to be very versatile. When the services of the forklift are not needed the forklift and mounting system can be removed from the tractor in approximately one minute turning it back into a regular fifth wheel unit.
