Those familiar with hook loaders know that operators outfit a cab and chassis with a hydraulic hooklift from Ampliroll. They can then roll-on and roll-off as many different truck bodies as needed. One truck can do the work of several rigs, with many cab/chassis/hook-loader combinations reaching near 100% utilization.

Delivering significant roll-on/off advantages

Those considering a hooklift from Ampliroll should consider these fleet operator advantages to hook loaders, as noted on RNOW’s website:

• With Ampliroll hydraulic hooklifts, the driver never leaves the cab. This saves time and is safer.
• Maximum dump angle is almost 20% greater than conventional roll-offs.
• The operator can pick-up or set-down a container at loading-dock heights.
• Containers can be pushed and spotted more accurately, with no chance of damaging the container front.
• Truck alignment is not necessary. The operator may approach from any angle within a 60º arc.
