The numbers that matter
Choosing the right hooklift or skiploader is about more than headline lift capacity. Body length compatibility, equipment weight, horizontal movement and truck configuration all shape how well the unit fits your operation.
The current TRT-listed MULTILIFT range covers 18t and 22t options for 3-axle trucks, with model variants suited to different body lengths and working demands.
