Hookloaders

Hookloader trucks are a specific truck applied in loading, transportation, and offloading large containers or skips through hydraulic hook mechanisms. They are invaluable in industries where heavy, bulky or irregular loads have to be moved on a day to day basis like construction, demolition, waste management, landscaping and agriculture.

Key Features

• Outstanding Payload: 26-tonne (6×4) and 32-tonne (8×4) options, the engines are powerful between 320 bhp to 450 bhp.
• Flexible Operation: The hydraulic hook system enables the operators to pick up and drop off tip containers with ease. This will reduce the downtime and manual handling.
• Multiple Gearbox Options: Choose between manual and automatic transmissions to suit your operational needs.
• Crew Accommodation: Typically seats up to 3 crew members for efficient site work.
• Built for Demanding Environments: Constructed from high-strength steel for maximum durability, stability, and payload.
• Versatile Container Handling: Handles a wide range of container sizes and types, making it suitable for skip transport, bulk waste, aggregates, and recyclable materials.

Business Benefits

• Boost Productivity: Rapid container changeovers and the ability to deposit containers on-site for loading or unloading streamline logistics and reduce vehicle idle time.
• Reduce Costs: One truck can serve multiple sites by swapping containers, maximising fleet efficiency and minimising the need for additional vehicles.
• Safety and Compliance: Advanced hydraulic and locking systems ensure secure loading, tipping, and transport of even the heaviest containers.
• Flexible Hire and Purchase: Thomas’s Group offers contract hire, short- and long-term rental, fleet hire, and outright sales, allowing you to scale your fleet to demand without heavy capital investment.
