The #1 reason to own a HOOK LIFT TRUCK!

Working in the Dumpster Business, you learn a thing or two over the years. Having owned both a hook lift truck and truck and trailer I've learned that they each have their own benefits!
But this in this video I go over the pros and cons of both, and the #1 reason I own a hook lift truck!

That's Phenomenal, now I am going to consider selling my dump trailer and going this route. You mentioned several things that resonated with me. Thank you! Liked and subscribed 😉

[@samedaydumpster]

Glad we could share a few ideas my friend. Keep us updated

[@mojohauling2716]

Great explanation, thank you for taking the time to illustrate. I plan to convert from the MAXX-D system to hooklift in a year or two. Best of everything to you in 2023!!

[@samedaydumpster]

Glad it was helpful! Looking forward to watching your transition brother.

Loved the insight into the hook truck. I've been running the trailer for a few years now. might be time to upgrade!

[@samedaydumpster]

You should! It changed the game for us.

[@ryanfaulkner6930]

Great video! I've been looking at upgrading to a hooklift truck and pretty close to pulling the trigger. Can't wait for the next video!

Thanks for checking our our channel. Would love to see your truck if you decide to pull the trigger. Keep us updated Ryan.

[@mittenequipment2443]

Loving the videos! What GVWR are the trucks you run? I assume you and your drivers need some level of a commercial drivers license?

[@samedaydumpster]

All our trucks are 23,500 GVW. We are well below the CDL requirement of 26,000

[@theplus2664]

Thanks for the information Sir.

Always welcome

[@sergeantfirstclassparker6551]

I’ve enjoyed watching your videos! I’m retiring from the Army and live in SW Indiana. Our town is between 12K-19K depending if college is in session. How do you come up with a business plan to increase success vs failure in smaller areas?

[@samedaydumpster]

Best advice... expand your service area. its no different than any other business... you gotta have a bigger number of clients too ensure success.

Would you recommend a trailer for someone who operates part-time. Some people are in other fields and we wonder if the truck and insurance will put a continuous hole in our pocket while the business is building organically.

[@samedaydumpster]

I recommend a trailer for everyone starting out! I believe there's so much value to learn on the trailer type setup. I did a video on this a few months back. So yes... I think its a great idea.

[@angelramos8363]

Good info! What make / model of hook lift truck do you recommend?

[@samedaydumpster]

I’m still a big fan of these 6500’s 4x4 diesel trucks. I’m running Palfinger 16,000 models. The perfect combination in my eyes.

[@coolguy24eric]

​@samedaydumpster why not a derated 7500?

[@critt3183]

What do you think of the size of truck you have? 4500-5500? Pretty universal ?

[@samedaydumpster]

For the type of work we choose to do - these 6500's are absolutely the best size, powered, and optioned truck for us. We have a couple of these and love them. Thanks for checking out our video.

5 tons, depending on the can we have loaded up, but no more than 5 tons for us on this setup.

Sorry to bother you John what were the system like that cost 6500 truck for 4 x 4 with the HT 160 palfinger but 130,000 is what they quoted me

Yes sir…. That’s what a well equipped Chevrolet 6500 4WD with a Palfinger HT160 will cost you today. That’s a fair price.

[@Bluelizardconstructionservices]

Which Hooklift is palfinger ht160 any good or should I go with had 185

[@samedaydumpster]

I don't believe you can even purchase a new HAD185 from Palfinger as I think it has been discontinued for the new HT160.

[@sam44554]

Would or Have you ever considered an Izuzu NPR hook lift truck? if not why?

[@samedaydumpster]

No. For me it's all about safety. The NPR has no front end protection to the driver in the event of an accident. You don't have the protection of a hood, motor or any distance between you and another vehicle.... just glass ( the windshield ) While none of us plan on getting into any accidents, I don't like the fact its only the windshield and then my body. Outstanding question BTW.

[@Trevormoen]

What do you do when people damage your bins

[@samedaydumpster]

They pay to fix them. There's video I put out here on KZbin discussing this very thing. We talk about damaged dumpsters and who's responsible.

How does the insurance cost compare between the two?

[@samedaydumpster]

There’s nothing inexpensive about insurance in todays business climate. But at a time when you read on the daily of guys running straight pickups and trailers getting cancelled…. Running a hooktruck and being legal, legit and compliant…. That’s priceless IMO

[@bobinthewest8559]

Depends also where you are operating. In some jurisdictions, your trailer is required to be insured as though you have added a separate vehicle to your policy. That can really add up. The guys that I really have a hard time understanding… Are the guys who believe they are doing better by running dump trailers, instead of dumpsters. That’s like adding the maintenance costs (tires, brakes, axles, lights, etc) to your containers. There’s no logic to this.

[@samedaydumpster]

@@bobinthewest8559 Great point. So true and most guys overlook this

[@digcutkos]

150K on a hooklift truck? that includes the cost of the dumpsters?

[@tobybrown1179]

60k for a 26ton hook here in Australia, then the truck, then the bins…

[@samedaydumpster]

No questions…. You guys don’t play around in Australia

[@bobinthewest8559]

I don’t know which brands are available/established in Australia (shipping costs are a factor if purchasing from a foreign provider of course)… But, I just got a price directly from the regional sales manager (pacific northwest, USA) for their #65,000 unit about a week ago, for a special build I was considering. He quoted $60,000 for that unit. However, in most applications, that’s pretty extreme overkill. Most of the usual roll off operations will never require anything heavier than the #50,000 unit (which also shaves a solid #1,000 off your tare weight). I didn’t get the price on that though, since the numbers (pricing AND weight) were getting too large, so I’m looking at alternative methods of achieving my goals. Edit: forgot to include…. That regional manager was with “Stellar” 😊

[@stephendiamond9893]

What happens when the breaks the maintenance the welding astronomical. Wouldn’t it be better to buy a used freight liner Hooklift. I’ve heard you can get them for like 10 grand put the hook on there that’s gonna run about 10 grand and hire a welder so for $30,000 you can get a used Hooklift truck and 10 dumpsters about $ 75,000. But of course, if you’re going to be running a Dinali which is a $90,000 truck in my opinion why go so extravagant in a very an nonextravagant industry you’re probably better off getting a 7. 3 gas I heard they are like Godzilla‘s. I ran a dumpster business for years using dump trailers and I’ll tell you why I think you’re better off when you have a pick up truck with its own bed attached to a dump trailer you could haul everything you separate the metal put that in the truck and the garbage in the dump trailer Just my opinion but I guess different strokes for different folks. A lot of guys are getting away from diesel and going into gas trucks. You’ll make a lot more money. That way my friend. I’ve been in this business for 20 years I wouldn’t have it any other way.

[@samedaydumpster]

This formula you just shared.... Is no where even close to how I run my business. Give it a go.... Best of luck.

[@bobinthewest8559]

Diesel engines are hands down, more efficient, and more cost effective over the long term, compared with a gasoline engine of comparable power. Running trailers, substantially increases your maintenance expenses (I can see no way around this). You need to run the numbers realistically if you don’t think so. More tires, brakes, axles, lights, etc. If you are trying to maximize your profits by separating out the recyclables that pay…. You’d be doing yourself a favor by creating a sorting facility for yourself. It’s an investment, to be sure…. But one that can pay you back handsomely if done properly. Most of these factors really come down to one question, (being completely honest with yourself)… Are you trying to run a business…. Or a side hustle? Hope this helps anyone reading it.

[@stephendiamond9893]

@@bobinthewest8559 the pumps are the expensive end lift and injection

[@bobinthewest8559]

@@stephendiamond9893 … Key phrase in my comment, “over the long term.” Break the numbers down over the lifetime of the truck…. And a diesel truck will cost you less (per mile, or however you want to quantify). A big part of this is the sheer longevity of Diesel engines. A Diesel engine will easily put a million miles on the clock when properly maintained. Gasoline engines have improved immensely over the years…. But I would still consider one done by that point…. While the diesel realistically can be rebuilt and run another million miles. Of course, by the million mile mark…. Most guys are sorta “itching” for a new truck anyway, lol
