Peak Season Solutions: How Piggybacks Keep Deliveries on Time
Holiday delivery volume hits hard and early. Schedules tighten, dock space disappears, and there’s no extra time built in for slowdowns. The freight still needs to move, and your equipment either keeps up or causes delays. Every lost minute at a stop means more pressure on the next one. For operations that want to stay ahead of the season, the equipment behind the truck matters as much as the plan in front of it.
Truck-mounted forklifts, especially Princeton PiggyBack® models, give operators a faster, more reliable way to handle those challenges. They lift, load, and move freight with the speed and independence that peak season demands.
This blog reveals what late deliveries truly cost, shows how Piggybacks maintain efficiency across industries, and demonstrates how our team at Beamer’s Piggyback Sales & Services keeps fleets ready to perform through the peak season and beyond.

Winterizing Your Piggyback Forklift for Peak Cold Weather Performance
When the temperature drops, you can feel it in your equipment right away. Batteries drain faster, hydraulics slow down, and tires lose their grip. For truck-mounted forklifts, the challenge is even bigger. Unlike warehouse units that stay indoors, Princeton PiggyBack® forklifts work outside in freezing wind, on icy roads, and in tough loading environments. That kind of exposure makes winter preparation a must.
