For operations that require moving extremely heavy dumpsters or containers, a standard hooklift system may not provide enough lifting capacity. The SwapLoader Heavy Duty Series hooklift systems are designed for the most demanding hauling applications where strength, durability, and lifting power are essential.
At HIWASTE MFG, we supply SwapLoader hooklift trucks in Hawaii, including the Heavy Duty Series models. These hooklift systems are built for large truck platforms and extreme lifting capacity, making them ideal for industries that handle heavy containers, large dumpsters, and demanding hauling work.
Designed for Large Truck Platforms
The SwapLoader Heavy Duty Series is designed for trucks with a gross vehicle weight (GVW) of 50,000 lbs or greater, allowing operators to run larger containers and handle heavier loads than smaller hooklift systems.
These systems can lift up to approximately 65,000 lbs, giving them significantly more capacity than the SL-400 Series, which typically tops out around 40,000 lbs.
Key specifications typically include:
- Lifting capacity: up to about 65,000 lbs
- Truck GVW range: 50,000 lbs or greater
- Container lengths: roughly 17′ – 24′
- Hook height: approximately 61 ¾″ or 62″ (fixed or adjustable)
This configuration allows the Heavy Duty Series to move some of the largest dumpsters and containers used in waste hauling and construction operations.
Models in the Heavy Duty Series
The SwapLoader Heavy Duty Series includes several high-capacity hooklift models designed for large truck platforms.
Common models include:
- SL-518
- SL-520X
- SL-650
These models are engineered to work with larger container lengths and provide the lifting strength needed for extremely heavy loads.
Because of their high capacity, these hooklift systems are commonly paired with large roll-off or hooklift dumpsters and heavy equipment containers.
Built for the Most Demanding Applications
The SwapLoader Heavy Duty Series is designed for operations that require maximum lifting capability and durability.
Typical applications include:
- Heavy construction debris hauling
- Large industrial waste operations
- Municipal waste hauling
- Heavy equipment transport
- Large container hauling
For companies operating in Hawaii’s construction and waste industries, these hooklift trucks provide the power needed to move large dumpsters and heavy loads efficiently.
Greater Capacity Than the SL-400 Series
Within the SwapLoader lineup, the Heavy Duty Series sits above the SL-400 Series in lifting capability.
- SL-400 Series: up to about 40,000 lb lifting capacity
- Heavy Duty Series: up to about 65,000 lb lifting capacity
This makes the Heavy Duty Series the preferred option for operations that regularly move large containers or extremely heavy loads.
Compatible with HIWASTE MFG Dumpsters
At HIWASTE MFG, we offer roll-off and hooklift dumpsters ranging from 10 to 40 cubic yards, which are compatible with SwapLoader hooklift systems.
These dumpsters can be used with the Heavy Duty Series to support a variety of hauling applications, including construction debris, large cleanouts, and industrial waste handling.
