2016 PRINCETON PB55.3 (Refurbished 2025)
Description
2016 Princeton PB55.3 Piggyback Forklift for Sale | Truck Mounted Forklift
This 2016 Princeton PB55.3 truck mounted forklift is now available after undergoing a full refurbishment and professional repaint. Designed for demanding delivery work, the PB55.3 is a trusted platform used by building supply yards, lumber dealers, agricultural suppliers, and logistics fleets that require dependable unloading capability at the jobsite.
With its 12-foot mast, this piggyback forklift provides the lift height commonly needed to handle palletized materials such as lumber, block, roofing, bagged materials, and general building products.
Princeton forklifts have built a reputation for rugged simplicity and dependable hydraulics, making them popular with operators who prefer equipment that is easy to service and built for daily work.
Refurbished and Serviced for Reliable Operation
Before being offered for sale, this Princeton PB55.3 went through a detailed refurbishment process intended to restore reliability and extend service life.
The machine was first steam cleaned and inspected, allowing technicians to evaluate the condition of the hydraulic and mechanical systems. Following inspection, the forklift underwent hydraulic pressure testing and leak checks.
Common wear components—including hydraulic hoses, fittings, mast rollers, bearings, lift chains, cylinders, pins, and bushings—were inspected closely and repaired or replaced where necessary.
This process ensures the machine is prepared to return to active fleet service with confidence.
Industrial Paint Refinish
To complete the refurbishment, the forklift was partially disassembled so major body components could be refinished correctly.
Panels such as the engine hood, rear body panels, and roll cage were individually cleaned, sanded, and prepared before being coated in a two-stage PPG urethane industrial paint system. The finish provides strong protection against weather, abrasion, and the general wear associated with delivery operations.
The result is a forklift that not only performs well but also presents professionally in a fleet environment.

Considering a Forklift With Extra Reach?
If your deliveries require one-side unloading or extended reach, you may want to consider the Loadmac 855 Super Reach.
Unlike many piggyback forklifts where reach is an optional feature, Loadmac incorporates its Panograph-style reach directly into the mast design. Extended-reach Princeton and Moffett forklifts are uncommon on the used market, while the Loadmac platform provides reach without adding excessive machine length.
This design helps create a forklift that remains compact, stable, and maneuverable, while allowing operators to unload materials from one side of the truck more efficiently.
Other Loadmac Models Available
• Loadmac 855 Super Reach – built-in extended reach for efficient one-side unloading
• Loadmac 255 Ultra – compact forklift designed for tight delivery locations
Ask about availability and see why many fleets are considering Loadmac forklifts as an alternative to traditional piggyback designs.Specifications
