I like all the people defending their cable lift trucks, they're fine but they're no hook left. while you're outside of the truck hooking up a cable I'm pulling away done.
I mean look I drive a hook truck and it's mad good for many situations but tbh I feel like the cable truck gives you more control over the box, whether it's good or bad control and also, nowadays cable trucks don't need to be controlled by the outside and now its much faster to use them on the inside.
Drove one of these as well as the cable trucks. Never had more than a 20 yard on this type. We used it for subdivisions and tight places. Roofing jobs, clean out garages. Very profitable. Got 8 mpg opposed to 5 mpg for the macks.
I've done that stuff with a cable, but it's a lot more work, the hook is the way to go for that kind of stuff. I see your cans are set up for both hook and cable
If the box is real heavy I don't know if I could pull it out with a cable hoist or not. It would be easy if there was no good pavement.. I think it would cut the pavement with a cable hoist any way you try to do it.
Been rolloff for 10 years. His second pickup he says cable truck can't do that, you kidding me? That's tons of space in my experience. Cable trucks are better and can carry more weight. You hook guys deal with "light" loads.
I agree 100% I could do both of those maneuvers with a cable truck, I’ve been operating a cable truck for two years, and been operating a hook lift for 6 months, in my opinion I’d rather have a cable over a hook Any day
I love this video. Your inspiring me to get into this business. That’s a really nice rig and set up you got there if you don’t mind me asking roughly how much did that all cost the truck with the lift set up?
Damn! I just dropped my company's first bin with our first hooklift in a VERY tight spot (Ineeded a lot of spotting) and I wish I had video of what you did on that extreme angle lift. I would have done it from the cab at first so I could pull out as I was raising it (slowly) until I got to that sweet angle you had. How did you do it?
I’ve heard of bins going over sideways when the customer loaded it unevenly. (The guy I know who had this happen hauls scrap metal from customers and they are huge bins.) if one of your bins were to go over is the risk with hook that your whole truck would flip? Unlike my guy who just lost the bin? Just curious
Is there really a big difference betwen a live pto vs no-active? I'm looking to buy a hooklift and was told not to buy a truck that dosent run the hook in DNRP
Lol anybody ever ask somebody to just move their car for 10 minutes. I'm like a rottweiler when I'm at home, I see and hear everything, my car woulda been moved for ya within 30 seconds.
@@tommyw.9424 yeah the cable guys have no idea how much easier it is. Most companies would switch but have to many cans. Hooks are lighter and less maintenance
No no , can you please show the whole thing, you turned off the camera and pulled it out and then turned it back on , thanks BigAl California.praise Jesus grace Christ amen
As apposed to a fake one? So they sell these trucks 10 to 1 over 10 wheelers why? Because they have a porpoise. Are you going to bring a 15 yrd can with a tri axel. Or Evan a 20? That's why some guys drive and some of us are third generation owners. 🙄
You do realize they make 60k hooks? And that's like a dump truck driver laughing at you because a tri axel dump can carry more weight the a tri axle roll off because it's lighter. So what's your point.
