5 Truck and Piggyback Customizations that Improve Daily Operations
Across a full route, small problems tend to stack up. Loading conditions change from stop to stop, ground is rarely level, and crews are often working around tight sites, weather, and time pressure.
Do you notice loads shifting on the deck, or that the forklift feels less steady during pickup or transport? Do you lose time hunting for tools or working in low light at the worst possible stop?
We hear these same problems in the shop all the time. They start as small delays. Then they turn into bent hardware, worn frames, broken lights, and extra service time that nobody planned for.
This post covers five customizations we use to tighten up daily operations. Each one is built around what happens in real work: loading, travel, unloading, and the wear that shows up after hundreds of stops.
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.
