Simply put, a hooklift truck is a heavy-duty truck chassis that's been fitted with a hydraulic hooklift hoist. The hydraulic hoist system lets contractors, municipalities and other work vehicle users roll on and roll off different truck bodies or containers. A locking mechanism in the hooklift system holds the truck body or container securely in place as you drive down the road. SmartTruck Equipment is a leading distributer and upfitter of hooklift trucks in the Washington DC area. We carry hooklifts by SwapLoader and Palfinger ready to be installed.
