Choose the right chassis and lifting capacity
A hook lift system places specific demands on the chassis: the weight of a full container or skip bin can quickly reach several tonnes, so the truck's load capacity must be able to handle this. Look at the gross vehicle weight (GVW), the number of axles, and the wheelbase: a longer wheelbase is needed for long containers, while a shorter wheelbase is more manoeuvrable in urban areas. For light-duty use, a chassis from 7.5 tonnes is often sufficient, while for heavy construction or waste work, 18 to 26 tonnes is more common. Also check whether the lifting arm and frame have been approved by the manufacturer for the container weights you intend to transport, so you stay within the legal axle load limits.
Hook lift, crane arm, or cable system: what suits your load
Besides the hook lift system, there are also crane arm and cable systems for swapping containers. A hook lift system is the fastest and most common choice for standard skip containers and rubble bins, and requires little driving experience from the operator. A crane arm system can also place a container to the side or stack it, which is useful in tight locations, but is more expensive to purchase and maintain. A cable system offers more flexibility in container length but is less suitable for very heavy loads. Determine first which type of container you will be transporting on a regular basis before choosing a system, as converting afterwards is costly.
Buying or financial lease for a hook lift system
A truck with a hook lift system, due to its hydraulics and chassis, quickly represents a much higher investment than a standard commercial vehicle. If you buy in cash, you become the owner immediately and have no monthly payments, but you commit a substantial amount upfront. Financial lease spreads this investment, up to 100% of the purchase value and with a term of up to 72 months, giving startups and self-employed professionals access to this type of equipment without draining the business's cash reserves. In both cases, factor in the residual value and hydraulic maintenance: this weighs more heavily for a hook lift system than for a standard van.
What to check when buying a used hook lift system
Always have the hydraulic cylinders, the hook, and the guide rollers checked for leaks, wear, and misalignment when buying a used vehicle: these are the parts that tend to incur costs first. Ask for the maintenance logbook and check whether the bodywork was included in the most recent APK (MOT/TÜV) inspection, as a hook lift system is assessed separately as bodywork. Also check for corrosion on the chassis behind the cab, where moisture from containers often collects, and verify that the controls and safety features still function according to current standards.

What exactly is a hook lift system?
A hook lift system is a hydraulic bodywork setup on a truck that allows you to load and unload containers, skip bins, or special bins independently, without needing a crane or extra personnel.
What does a used hook lift system cost?
At Tatev Auto, a used vehicle with a hook lift system starts from €27.900 excl. VAT. This is a specialist category with limited stock, so the available vehicles change regularly.
Can I lease a hook lift system?
Yes, a vehicle with a hook lift system can also be financed through financial lease, up to 100% of the purchase value and with a term of up to 72 months. This is also possible for startups and self-employed professionals.
What driving licence do I need for a truck with a hook lift system?
This depends on the gross vehicle weight: up to 7.5 tonnes, a C1 licence is usually sufficient, while above 7.5 tonnes you need a C licence, often supplemented with code 95 for professional transport.
What is the difference between a hook lift system and a gantry arm system?
A hook lift system pulls the container straight backwards onto the chassis, while a gantry arm system lifts the container up and forward. Gantry systems are more compact, while hook lift systems are more generally applicable.
What should I check regarding the chassis of a hook lift system?
Check the gross vehicle weight, the number of axles, and the wheelbase in relation to the container length you intend to transport, so that the axle loads remain within legal limits.
