Overview
Hooklifts and roll-offs are versatile waste management and transport systems primarily used in construction, demolition, and waste industries. These systems allow for easy loading, unloading, and transport of containers or bins, significantly enhancing efficiency. Hooklifts use a hydraulic hook arm to lift and lower containers, while roll-offs rely on a cable system to roll containers off the vehicle.
