Hydraulic hooklift hoist

Hydraulic hooklift hoists are mounted on heavy duty trucks to enable hauliers to change out flatbeds, dumpster bodies, and similar containers.

Primarily used in conjunction with tilt frame bodies and specialised roller containers, generally designed for the transportation of materials in the waste, recycling, scrap and demolition industries, as well as for disposal of construction debris.

[1] The system employs a series of hydraulic rams to hook, lift and hoist the container onto the chassis of the truck.

The hydraulic operating pressure of all hooklift hoists are preset at the factory to achieve the intended lifting capacity for the design application.

The original approach used by early European models, still widely used today, was a high pressure / low volume system.
