PrintKey Features
High strength without added weight
- Z-rail design: The base is pre-drilled to allow for efficient installation on the chassis and to allow body saddles to be installed where needed.
Do more with one truck
- Telescopic jib: Multiplate design provides a lightweight yet sound structure for handling a wide range of body lengths.
- Adjustable jib cylinder: The jib cylinder pin location can be changed to allow for handling shorter bodies.
- Universal latching system: The industry-leading bolt-on adjustable body locks provide specific adjustment of outside locks.
- Adjustable hook height: Set the hook height to match the lift bar height of a fleet of containers with either manual adjustable or hydraulic adjustable hook inserts.
Best-in-class lost load height
- Compact secondary design: A lost load height of 10.5″ when combined with the dump section delivers an industry-leading below-grade hook bar approach. Accommodates down to 6″ subframe heights.
- Wear pad design: Integrated replaceable wear pads for easier serviceability.
Timesaving convenience
- Lift cylinders: The integrated soft-stop feature brings the body to rest gently on the body saddles.
- Speed enhancement: This lift cylinder feature can cut cycle time as much at 75%.
- In-cab controls: Air controls allow for precise metering of the manual hydraulic drive.
