Frequently Asked Questions
What is the advantage of a hooklift truck over a roll off truck?
A hooklift uses an articulating hook arm that can load and set containers at any point in its range — offering more flexibility than a cable roll-off, which must pull containers in a straight line. Hooklift systems allow faster container swaps on tight job sites.
What container sizes work with hooklift trucks?
Most Class 6 and 7 hooklift trucks handle 10 to 20 cubic yard containers. Class 8 tandem axle units can handle containers up to 40 cubic yards. Container compatibility depends on the hook height and payload rating of the specific unit.
What brands of hooklift systems do your trucks typically have?
Common hooklift brands on units in our inventory include Ampliroll, Galbreath, Stellar, NorCal and Palfinger. Brand availability varies by unit; call (215) 757-8886 for specifics.
Do you finance hooklift trucks for contractors?
Yes. Commercial financing for hooklift truck purchases is available at Burns Auto Group for waste haulers and demolition contractors with various credit profiles.
