Hooklift trucks are designed to provide a flexible way to transport dumpsters, bins, flatbeds, and equipment containers. By allowing operators to quickly load and swap containers, hooklift systems improve efficiency across construction, waste hauling, and service operations.
At HIWASTE MFG, we supply SwapLoader hooklift trucks in Hawaii, offering several series designed for different truck sizes and lifting capacities. These include the SL-100 Series, SL-200 Series, SL-400 Series, and the Heavy Duty Series.
Understanding the differences between these systems can help determine which hooklift truck is the best fit for your operation.
Overview of the SwapLoader Series
SwapLoader offers several hooklift systems designed for different hauling needs. Each series is built to match specific truck platforms, lifting capacities, and container sizes.
Below is a general overview of the four main SwapLoader series.
SL-100 Series
The SL-100 Series is designed for smaller truck platforms and lighter-duty applications. These systems are commonly installed on trucks in the 14,000 to 35,000 lb GVW range and offer lifting capacities from 7,500 to about 20,000 lbs.
Common models include:
- SL-75
- SL-105
- SL-160
- SL-212
- SL-214
These hooklifts are often used for operations that need a compact truck with strong versatility, such as landscaping work, smaller construction jobs, and waste hauling in tighter areas.
SL-200 Series
The SL-200 Series provides more lifting capacity and is designed for medium-duty truck platforms. These systems typically operate on trucks with GVW ratings between roughly 18,000 and 35,000 lbs, with lifting capacities ranging from about 18,500 to 24,000 lbs.
Common models include:
- SL-185
- SL-220
- SL-222
- SL-241
The SL-200 Series is often considered a balanced hooklift system, providing increased lifting capability while still maintaining maneuverability.
SL-400 Series
The SL-400 Series is designed for larger truck platforms and higher lifting requirements. These systems typically require trucks with GVW ratings of 33,000 lbs or greater and offer lifting capacities of approximately 33,000 to 40,000 lbs.
Common models include:
- SL-330
- SL-400
- SL-406
- SL-412
This series is commonly used for hauling larger dumpsters and heavier containers used in construction and waste operations.
Heavy Duty Series
For the most demanding applications, SwapLoader offers the Heavy Duty Series. These hooklift systems are built for trucks with GVW ratings of 50,000 lbs or greater and can lift approximately 50,000 to 65,000 lbs depending on the model.
Common models include:
- SL-518
- SL-520X
- SL-650
These systems are designed for operations that regularly move very large containers or extremely heavy loads.
