We're the only interchangeable body solution to provide both hoists and bodies. This makes your purchasing experience easier and ensures proper fit and function.
Designed specifically for class 4-7 trucks, your business can go where larger companies cannot. Our interchangeable bodies are both easier to use and more appealing for customers to place on their property.
It doesn't get much easier than single-handed,
push button operation. Occasional greasing and winch cable lubrication keep your business moving.
An additional point of contact over other interchangeable systems provide stable loading, while an out of cab operation option ensures safe surroundings.
Switch-N-Go is one of the only truck systems with a 15,000lb lift capacity for class 5 trucks. As a lighter work truck, you can get up to 800lbs greater payload per load.
Our most popular systems cost half as much as many hook lifts. Plus, the bolt-on solution allows for transferability between chassis.
Our E-Series hoist system is an electric powered hydraulic hoist system built for medium duty workloads. Designed to handle six fully loaded winch draws per day, no central hydraulics are needed.
With a flexible winch cable and swivel cable hook, you can pull up bodies that can be difficult to reach, up onto your truck with ease. This new design also reduces cable stiffness, offers more support, and prevents premature wear and tear.

# 1: Lifting Capacity
Consider the weight of materials you intend to haul to decide how powerful the hooklift system should be. Depending on the nature of your business, investing in a little more power than you currently need can allow you to carry weightier loads and extend your business opportunities in the future.
# 2: Cab Control
The 3 kinds of in-cab control systems to consider are hydraulic, pneumatic and electrical with each being more suitable than others for specific applications. In case of heavy equipment applications, for example, hydraulic is usually the system of choice, while electric control offers quick and responsive functionalities for light-duty jobs.
# 3: Slide And Tilt
The purpose of use will determine if articulated sliding or tilting jib is a better choice for you. A combination of both, however, does make drops and lifts easier in working environments with low headroom.
# 4: Storage Options
When on duty, hooklift trucks don’t travel light. They carry all kinds of gear and utility materials which are stored in underbody or side mounted steel or aluminum toolboxes. The size of these toolboxes can be upto 48” long with an interior depth of 16”, and they can be customized with sectioning, shelving, waterproof sealing etc to suit the specific carry-all needs for your kind of operations.
Yuan tai Truck supply professional and honest service.
# 5: Fuel Efficiency
Hooklift trucks run predominantly on diesel or gasoline, which offer maximum fuel efficiency. Some things that will determine your choice are the most common functions you want your hooklift to perform, weight of the lift, the payload it is expected to carry and the nature of the hydraulics installed.
# 1: Go With A Reputable Seller
Pre-owned hooklift trucks are not expected to come in a gently used condition. But overuse, misuse and abuse that go beyond expected wear and tear can become a huge financial drain in the long run as you replace worn parts, re-start maintenance checklists that were ignored in the past and try to extend the longevity of your workhorse. Go with a reputable hook-lift dealer, who stands behind the unit they are selling to save yourself the stress and expense of buying blind.
# 2: Ask For Maintenance Records
Making sure that the hooklift unit comes with a maintenance record gives you the peace of mind of seeing documented proof of servicing and maintenance jobs undertaken by previous owners on it in the past.
# 3: Check The Engine And Drivetrain
The probability of damaged engine or transmission is pretty high if the hooklift is showing signs of transmission fluid leaks or engine oil leaks. Have these checked out, and also see if the hooklift owner is willing to give you a drivetrain warranty.
# 4: Check The Electrical System
Hooklifts are composed of a large number of moving parts and some of these can heat up very quickly. If wiring harnesses and rubber hoses come in contact with an overheated engine compartment, for example, it can cause leaking and shorting of the electrical system. Make sure you have these checked and evaluated by an experienced professional before you buy.
# 5: Check The Hooklift Hoist
The hoist, attached to the frame of the truck, needs special inspection to make sure it is in pristine condition with no signs of rusting and cracks or bending of shape. Make sure that hoist pins (where the hoist and frame connect) are in good working condition as well.
# 6: Check For Cleanliness
If the hooklift unit has not been cleaned regularly and on schedule in the past, you may run risks like clogged valves. A clean lift system also says a lot about the previous hooklift owner and how well the unit was looked after while in his or her care.
# 7: Listen For Sounds
Turn off the radio or any environmental sound and listen for any unusual sounds emanating from the hooklift trucks’s operating system. Noise anomalies can be a great help when trying to investigate performance glitches that are not readily apparent to the eye.
# 8: Check The Noise Pollution Factor
Lower engine RPMs, minimal friction and shorter cycle times will help you stay compliant with noise regulations, in case there are any in the area you intend to use your hooklift.
# 9: Consider The Resale Value
Hooklift trucks can give reliable service for many, many years, which is why you should always keep an eye on the resale value in case you choose to diversify or modify your business and have to sell the hooklift you’re buying today.
