Hooklift trucks are medium- and heavy-duty vehicles equipped with a hydraulic hooklift hoist. The hoist enables the operator to hook, lift, and load a body or container that\'s then locked in place for safe transport. The capability to quickly load and unload a dump, scrap, flatbed, polymer, or other type of container makes the hooklift truck one of the most versatile work vehicles available. Construction, demolition, landscape, recycling management, and waste collection companies are just a few of the many types of businesses that use these trucks to transport construction debris, scrap metal, tree trimmings, gravel, mulch, liquids, and many other types of materials.
