Princeton PIGGY BACK®

Perhaps the biggest news with the new PB50.3 is the all new, technologically advanced, Tier 4 Final compliant engine.

The all-new Princeton PB50.3 Forklift is our medium-duty machine that offers 5000 lbs of lifting capacity in a compact, yet powerful package. Customers delivering lighter building materials, roofing, insulation, tile and agricultural products will find this new forklift to be everything they need and more. The PB50.3 forklift has excellent stability. While weighing in at only about 5,000lbs, the machine feels sure footed and rugged. Engineers designed the machine to have excellent ground clearance AND a low center of gravity. Even more impressive, the machine was designed to have a shorter overall length. The PB50.3 can be configured to a 56” overhang which allows for mounting to even 48 foot-long trailers.
