Hooklifts for 12 to 18 GVW chassis

SLT GROUP provides professional hooklift systems from the HSL series, designed for medium-duty trucks with a gross vehicle weight (GVW) from 12 to 18 tons. These bodies are engineered for demanding applications that require greater lifting power, longer containers, and reliable operation under intensive use.

The HSL 8 and HSL 12 hooklifts are a perfect fit for the municipal sector, construction industry, raw material transport, and recycling services. Thanks to their versatility and durability, they support efficient logistics across a wide range of business activities.

All structural components of SLT GROUP hooklifts are manufactured using welded frame technology, ensuring exceptional strength, resistance to stress, and long service life. The only exception are the rollers, which are produced as cast elements. This design choice provides enhanced wear resistance and guarantees smooth container handling, even during heavy-duty operations.

Key advantages of HSL hooklifts include:

  • High durability for intensive professional use,
  • Compatibility with longer containers,
  • Optimal strength-to-weight ratio,
  • Reliable performance in municipal and construction environments.

With a combination of robust engineering and proven design, the SLT GROUP HSL 8 and HSL 12 hooklifts deliver the reliability and efficiency expected by modern fleet operators.
