A MUST have for all HOOKLIFT trucks! 

Smart... very smart. Opens new doors with customers and creates value other dumpster competitors aren't offering. Thanks for watching.

Like my grandfather always said..."There's more than one way to get downtown." I believe guys can accomplish moving their equipment around a few different ways.

Thank You. I appreciate the support my friend.

I have mentioned the weight rating of my hooks in several videos, but not sure I have done a video specifically on this. My hooks are rated for 22,000lbs. While I know they can pick 10-15% higher than their rated amount, most all my loads come in quite a bit lighter than that. I've never had a dumpster yet that my trucks wouldn't pick up. Great question by the way....

Thank You for all the support. Very much appreciated.

Very much appreciated. 👊🏾

You need commercial insurance regardless of what you are hauling to be complaint with DOT. Now when it comes to what you are hauling will affect your insurance rates based upon your insurance carrier. That will range greatly based on what you are calling "value". Check with your local insurance agent and let them know what you plan on hauling for the best idea of rates.

We have been in junk hauling since 2019 and have all the legal and appropriate coverages for that. But a few years ago we considered offering moving services, and DOT told us our number only covered items of zero value, and if we began hauling items of value that were not our personal property, we needed to apply for an MC number with the appropriate operating authority, file a BMC-91 or BMC-91X (which added additional coverage to our existing commercial auto policy), file a BOC-3 (which secures a Service of Process Agent), and file a BMC-34 or BMC-83 (which includes cargo insurance). We did everything in that order but could not find a company or broker who could provide the cargo insurance, so after several weeks of trying, we canceled the application for the MC number and paid triple our normal insurance rate for 6 months because it couldn't be rolled back for that long after electing to change coverage. It was a disaster and an expensive lesson.

There's def a couple different ways to make a flatbed work. I'm not convinced rear rollers are a necessity. Thanks for contributing.

@@samedaydumpster I have several beds all with no rollers.

This flatbed was built by Bucks Fabricating, located in Hadley, PA. The modifications were all done here in Salt Lake City, UT by my in-house metal fab shop.

Safety first brother.

I think I share that around the 9 1/2 minute mark or somewhere close to that in the video.

@@samedaydumpster thank you! For some reason I thought it was 2200 with skid steer on it. Thanks again !!!

There's some pictures and videos on my IG page with the CAT259 on this flatbed. Its pretty cool... not gonna lie.

I’ll check it out thanks!
