Family-owned since 1997, D.W. Lift Sales grew from a company selling used and reconditioned truck-mounted forklifts into a Columbus operation known for deep expertise in piggyback equipment. Founded by Doug Wilson, grandson of the inventor of the first Princeton truck-mounted forklift, it now supports delivery-equipment customers through sales and service from its 70,000-square-foot facility.

Princeton Delivery SystemsSince 1972, Princeton Delivery Systems has built truck-mounted forklifts under its PIGGY BACK® brand, giving delivery crews a way to unload materials directly where they are needed. The Ohio company developed its first PIGGY BACK® in 1979 after beginning with sod-harvesting equipment, and now supports a broad range of smooth- and rough-terrain models through distributors across North America. Its distinctive EZ Hitch® system lets a forklift mount to a truck or trailer and be ready for use in less than 60 seconds.PERRYSBURG, OH
Beamer's Piggyback Sales & ServiceFounded in 2003 by former equipment end user Todd Beamer, Beamer’s Piggyback Sales & Service is a Cincinnati-area shop that sells and repairs truck-mounted forklifts while fabricating and repairing custom truck bodies. The company is an authorized Princeton Delivery Systems dealer and takes a ground-up approach to reconditioning its forklift units, rather than simply repainting them. Its one-stop operation also handles fleet truck repair and custom upfitting, including made-to-order flatbeds.CINCINNATI, OH
