We would like to let you know about an interesting opportunity to talk directly with representatives from Hino about new HINO trucks. Somerville HINO, at 75 Arrow Road in Toronto (near the 400 and Finch Avenue), is hosting a customer care clinic and open house. It just so happens we’ll also be there showing off a Multilift Hook–Lift XR5L on a new HINO demo truck.

Call 416–747–7578 to book an appointment for a free 100–point inspection of your HINO vehicle. If you have any questions or concerns about your HINO truck, you can speak to representatives from HINO Canada, HINO North America, and HINO Japan who will be on hand throughout the event.

The event runs for two days only – Thursday June 11 and Friday June 12. A free BBQ lunch is available, and there will be a draw for a 40” Toshiba flat screen TV. Appointments start at 7 AM and the open house runs from 10 to 8 on Thursday and from 10 to 4 on Friday. Click the link here for the HINO BBQ flyer.

If you are in the construction, landscape, recycling or general haulage business, you’ve probably heard of the Multilift Hooklift. This versatile piece of equipment offers true multi-tasking capabilities that increase your efficiency and performance. And now it is even better.

The new XR 21S and XR 26S Multilift Hooklifts have picked up where the XR Light Range left off. As part of the XR Power Range, these models improve upon existing technology to better meet the demands of hooklift users.

Next generation PLC controls provide even more reliability. Ergonomic design ensures the controls fit easily into the truck cab. Extensive field and fatigue tests were carried out to prove the power and durability of the steel construction. A new aspect of the hooklift’s design – increased use of steel casings – gives it more strength.

Other new options include automatic sequence control, fast speed and proportional speed, and friction relief. Prefabricated mounting holes reduce the need for welding, making installation fast and easy.

With so many innovative features, not to mention increased power and speed, the new XR Power Range is the tool you need for streamlined performance and greater profitability.

Choosing the right hook-lift system for your business is not as easy as it was two or three decades ago. In the last 20 years, there have been some major technological strides and safety innovations. These machines have been streamlined and customized for different needs, uses, and expectations.  This, of course, is a great thing but with more choice come more difficulty choosing the right machine!

Here are a few tips for choosing the right hook-lift system

1. When it comes to safety, look for machines and models that feature load holding valves, which help keep the body secure, even in the unlikely case of hydraulic failure.
2. Properly matching a system to your truck will help increase output and payloads.
3. To increase usability, ensure that your hook-lift system will allow extra room for towing extra equipment.
4. Figure out your capacity requirements before choosing and purchasing your hook-lift system. This will help maximise usefulness and cost savings.
5. To unsure a long, healthy life-span with little downtime, read warranties, reviews, and stats on the hook-lift system, you are considering for purchase.
