Ampliroll Product Spotlight: Sparks, Nevada - 65,000-lb. Hooklift System/24.5-ton Crane “Package”

Needing a hooklift system/mobile crane combination for use in its municipal storm clean-up operations, the city of Sparks, Nevada reached out to Ampliroll for a 65,000-lb. hooklift system and an Ampliroll-branded 24.5-ton crane body.

 


In selecting the package, the suburb of 90,000-plus just east of Reno took advantage of Ampliroll’s engineering expertise in general, and its hydraulic crane experience in particular. Ampliroll is owned by Fassi Group — one of the world’s leading manufacturers of hydraulic cranes. Of course, all Ampliroll hook loader/crane combinations are carefully evaluated for use by the company’s engineering staff in the United States.

With the Ampliroll Hooklift System/Ampliroll Body package, the municipality gains remarkable flexibility … and considerable value. When the crane is not required, it’s disconnected from the hook loader hydraulic system, removed and stored onsite for future use. The time required? About five minutes!

 


Crane operations are just one of the many uses the city of Sparks has found for its new hook loader system — the second they’ve purchased from Enoven Truck Body & Equipment, an Ampliroll dealer located in West Sacramento, California. With the quick removal of the 24.5 ton meter crane, the Ampliroll Hooklift-equipped flatbed is ready to roll on another body for its next job assignment.
This example of a hard-working hook loader/crane combination is just one of many others that have been successfully engineered, fabricated and installed by Ampliroll through its nationwide dealer network.

Other municipalities and companies are encouraged to take advantage of the engineering expertise and worldwide resources of Ampliroll and Fassi Group. For these users, the hooklift system/changeable body concept is a proven way to save money by re-purposing a single Ampliroll-equipped truck chassis for multiple jobs as needed.

For selection, savings and service, make Ampliroll your first choice in hydraulic hook lift systems. 


Ampliroll Hooklift Systems are manufactured by Marrel – the inventor of hooklifts in 1969 and first again in bringing them to users across the U.S. in 1980. Today, Ampliroll is the nation’s leading provider of hooklift systems.

Flatbeds? Stakebeds? Dumping Flatbeds Too? Of Course! Enoven Has You Covered


 

The flatbed is a very popular product. Its main job is to take things from one point to another. A Stakebed is a flatbed with some removable or permanent gates of various heights (40″ most common) to carry taller cargo and have it remain on the bed. All Flatbeds and Stakebeds typically come with a standard square headboard to protect the cab from damage.

There are many options available for the Flatbed and Stakebed such as a liftgate to help get heavy items on and off the bed, under bed tool boxes, HD trailer hitch and wiring, tapered headboard, steel overlay on floor for added strength and longevity (smooth or diamond plate), cranes, tool boxes on top of the bed, HD material rack and many more.
Some samples of what we can do at Enoven:
  • 100% fabricated and installed in house
  • 10ga and 3/16” smooth or diamond plate steel; 7/8” and 1-1/8” Apitong hardwood decks
  • All bodies are built for heavy duty use
  • Custom builds are our specialty
  • Rugby and Omaha Standard Subframe style and truck frame mounted conversion hoists
  • Fully hydraulic or electric over hydraulic hoists
  • Hoists for bodies 8’ long up to 24’ long
