The main reason why the hookloader has found such wide and broad appeal is that the system allows an unparalleled degree of VERSATILITY and efficiency
The PALIFT HOOKLOADER………How does it work?
The key word is “simple”. The operator backs the truck toward the container/platform. With the in-cab controls, the operator switches on the power take-off, lowers the hydraulic arm and engages the container/platform with the hook. He then activates the two main cylinders that pull the container onto the chassis and lock it into position. The operator then turns off the power take-off and drives away.
It takes less than one minute from the time the operator shifted the truck into reverse. The PALIFT has one major purpose: To help our customers pick-up, drop-off, transport, unload or dump containers, or equipment - safer and faster - and that means larger profits.
- More containers can be handled in a shorter amount of time
- With a variety of container styles one truck can do the work of several

Dual Series Jibs
The PALIFT features both manually or hydraulically adjustable jibs enabling the driver to pick-up containers with different height A-frames.
Hook versus Cable
- Automatic pick-up meaning that the driver does not have to leave the cab to engage or disengage with a container. No cables to manhandle.
The hook is operated from inside the cab where the driver is SAFE.
- The hook hoist has fewer parts and requires less maintenance than a cable hoist.
- The PALIFT hoist provides power-on and power-off through the use of hydraulic cylinders. Containers are easily loaded on docks or trailers.
- The hooklift operators can approach and connect with a container within a 60° arc.
- No need for the hooklift driver to manhandle a cable or to be in the danger zone between the truck and the container.
