Choosing the Right Dump Bed Hoist
When selecting a hydraulic scissor hoist, it is important to consider bed length, bed weight, payload, frame space, overhang, and the total weight being lifted. The total carried weight includes the dump bed, hoist, hydraulic system, and the contents of the load.
The PF-310 is a popular choice for customers who need a compact dump bed hoist. For heavier applications or longer beds, a larger Primary Mover hoist may be a better fit.
