I like your video, very well done and clear, however as president of Cam-Concept, manufacturer of Hook Lift trailer systems I would simply like to mention that our systems are more and more widespread in North America . We have over 200 units in the United States currently in use. It is true that cable trailers are more widespread and less expensive (not always) but our systems offer a very interesting alternative to the Dumpster field.
I appreciate your feedback! I actually learned of your American based dealings after I produced this video. It’s my fault for not knowing more, but I’d have probably changed that section a bit if I knew they could be purchased without importing from Canada. I do believe you guys make a great product from what I can tell, and I hope I didn’t offend by the popularity comment. I simply meant I’ve never personally known anyone to have owned one, and only a handful of people I’ve ever seen in the online groups have one. So due to the supply in our market it’s much more likely a consumer here would be leaning toward a cable style trailer. If you have any products in or around Tampa I could easily get my hands on to view, I’d gladly do a follow up video to showcase your product and let people know my opinion of it.
@@MAXCODumpsters There is no offense, as mentioned I find your video very well done and clear. We are still little known but our customers are our best ambassadors and word of mouth does its job. We offer a wide range of Hook Lift products from 6K to 65K, more than 30 trailer models, we are a company dedicated to the tailor-made design of solutions for our customers. We also have an agricultural line with trailers specifically designed for field work with flotation tires. Thanks for taking time to respond to me. I subscribed to your channel.
@jprenaudineau I wish you guys nothing but success! Feel free to reach out any time if you need anything or want my perspective on things. Appreciate the sub!
You’re absolutely right! I tried to remain unbiased and highlight options instead of just tell you “what’s best.” I hope that came across in the video! 💪 Thanks for tuning in.
I agree with most of these. 34 cans running TXP rail, there are about 10 truck I know running these trailers and always people looking to sell their setups
I know plenty of businesses that are crushing it with TP rails! Definitely doable. The benefit of being able to upgrade to a hook truck without changing your 47” rails is still a big one though.
I mentioned you guys in the standard rail manufacturers segment! Got an opportunity to see it for the first time at the Lone Star showcase. Looks fantastic. 💪
I’ve heard that the gvwr boost is from tongue weight. Other manufacturers for different industries do this for example Kaufman flatbed 16k trailer is 14k worth of axles plus 15% tongue weight = 16.1k. Some manufacturers even state calculated at 10% or 15% tongue weight. I am not 100% sure this is correct so someone please confirm
I may not be fully understanding of your statement - but I believe you are actually referencing how they calculate payload from the trailer on the truck. For example if you use the 10% figure on the 16k trailer - you’d be using up 1,600 lbs of payload capacity with a full load. It’s possible you know something I don’t, but that’s what it sounded like as I read it.
@@MAXCODumpsters That would technically be tongue weight(but it does subtract from payload and rear axle capacity so calling it payload is fine depending on what you are talking about). Occasionally, on larger trailers, it seems like they(manufacturers of trailers in general) do calculated optimal tongue weight plus trailer axle capacity to get an increased trailer gvwr without higher capacity trailer axles. I dont think I explained it well before
Good video. I don't believe the tires boost the load capacity rating of a trailer. The axle rating is the maximum weight the axles can carry. The tires combined capacity must be the same or greater than the axle capacity. Some trailer manufacturers will rate the trailer higher than the raw combined axle weight capacity because the tongue of the trailer transfers weight to the tow vehicle. Bumper pull tongue weight will be 10-15% of trailer weight. Gooseneck and fifth wheels can be 15-30% of trailer weight. 15% of a 16k# trailer is 2400#. So when fully loaded, a 16k# trailer will only have 13600# on axles. More tongue weight unloads axles a bit more.
My understanding could be wrong. Ive been told in the past that tires can contribute to the rating, but that’s not a part I have direct knowledge on. I hope you otherwise found value in the video. Thanks for your contribution to the conversation!
@@MAXCODumpsters The video had a lot of value. I may be incorrect. I'm posting what I've been taught and I believe is correct. I just wanted to share the information with you and your viewers. You post videos to inform and educate the community as a whole. I only want to add dialogue in a civil manner.
Great video. I am research now to start my own company soon. The only thing I wish you added to the video is gas or diesel. That is my biggest hang up.
If that’s your biggest hang up you’ll have some smooth sailing! Either will be fine, but Diesel is superior if you can afford to swing it. I really love the power of my 6.7 Cummins and the Exhaust brake is a game changer for this type of work!
While it's true that Roll Off systems have been widely recognized, we're excited to inform you that our Hook Lift trailer systems are rapidly gaining recognition across North America. In fact, we currently have over 200 Hook Lift trailers successfully operating in the United States. Our Hook Lift systems offer a host of undeniable advantages that are reshaping industry standards: Safety: Our top priority. The Hook Lift design significantly reduces the risks associated with loading and unloading. Low Maintenance: Designed for durability and ease of use, our Hook Lift trailers require less upkeep compared to traditional systems. Efficiency without Cable Handling: The absence of cable handling not only speeds up operations but also eliminates a common source of maintenance and safety concerns. Speed: Time is a critical factor in business operations, and our Hook Lift systems are engineered for swift and efficient handling. We understand the importance of making informed decisions, especially when venturing into new business opportunities. Therefore, we recommend opting for a reliable system that's built to last, aligning with your long-term business goals. To provide a clearer picture, we created a comparison video a few years back, showcasing the distinct differences and benefits of a Hook Lift system over a Roll Off system. You can view this insightful comparison [here] ruclips.net/video/VLgEXKCBi1Q/видео.html. We're here to support your journey into this business, offering reliable and innovative solutions tailored to your needs. Feel free to reach out for more information or any questions you might have.
Modern HD trucks are waaaay overbuilt compared to their ratings. It’ll do 5+ tons no problems. Generally speaking it’s not the moving that’s a problem… it’s the stopping. If you’re keeping it at 26k or less you’ll be able to stop no problem - but disclaimer… I’m in FL and it’s flat here. May be more difficult in a mountainous area.
And what’s your thoughts on switch and go system, I am thinking to go with 14, dumpsters, 15s and 20’s, but don’t know if switch and go will work, thanks
I don’t have experience with synthetic, but based on my research in the past the steel is a stronger and more reliable option. Synthetic would be safer if it fails. And most likely sufficient if only doing light loads.
Sorry to burst your bubble but. The law is class A cdl is a vehicle grossing 26001 hauling a trailer grossed over 10,001. Class B is a vehicle grossing 26,001 pulling a trailer grossed under 10,000. Class C is a vehicle grossed less than26,000 pulling a trailer grossed under 10,000. Non commercial As per Fmcsa.
I got pulled over a state trooper and got weighed. Trailer had 9k axles. He said as long as it had brakes working and everything else was good, I was good aslong as I didn’t go over the 26k with a class c. Which I weighed just under so I was good.
In Georgia, with a regular class C license, you can operate a vehicle weighing (GVWR) no more than 26,000 pounds, any vehicle towing a vehicle weighing no more than 10,000 pounds OR any vehicle towing a vehicle weighing more than 10,000 pounds provided the weight of the combination of vehicles does not exceed 26,000 pounds Total.
The only trailer that will last for anyone is a Nedland trailer. I’ve been running the EZ Rolloff truck and trailer system for 25 years go with a truck hoist and use the trailer as a backup don’t waste your money on the rest of this crap
I’m certain that more than one brand can put out a quality trailer. Nedland was asking north of $45k last I heard and build times were pushing a year. Everything is relative.
@@MAXCODumpstersthat’s crazy. Right before all this crap happened those trailers brand new were less than half that price. Trailer prices are starting to drop. Wait for a used one. New ones at that price aren’t worth it. Get a real truck at that point.
Great Content. I'm a hooklift truck owner, but love that you've created such a specific and detailed video for those who aren't.
I think we all aspire to get there eventually. Thanks for watching! 💪

Great video man! Running on a 3/4 what has your exp being with weight? It seems like 3-4 tons would be capacity…..TIA

Can you help me out with information on getting a trailer like yours?
Yes, shoot me a message on insta or FB so I can actually share information with you. I’m very limited in YT comments.
And what’s your thoughts on switch and go system, I am thinking to go with 14, dumpsters, 15s and 20’s, but don’t know if switch and go will work, thanks
Switch and go is another proprietary system. It’ll get the job done, but it’ll limit you for future purchases.
Do you recommend a steel cable or a synthetic cable for a PJ wench system
I don’t have experience with synthetic, but based on my research in the past the steel is a stronger and more reliable option. Synthetic would be safer if it fails. And most likely sufficient if only doing light loads.
How is a trailer derated?
When purchased you ask the manufacturer to set the GVWR to a lower number then the specs.
Sorry to burst your bubble but. The law is class A cdl is a vehicle grossing 26001 hauling a trailer grossed over 10,001. Class B is a vehicle grossing 26,001 pulling a trailer grossed under 10,000.
