Cable hoists need rope inspection and the rope maker’s lubricant, which A1’s catalog does not list. Hooklifts need hook and pivot grease instead.
Wet sites
Landfills and demolition sites push water and grit into rollers; grease to purge them.
Fluids by compartment.
Confirm the fluid type, grade, and specifications in the roll-off and hooklift truck maker’s manual before ordering. These examples are not a fitment result for a specific machine.
Hoist and hook hydraulics
Match the body maker’s fluid type and grade; cold climates may call for a multi-viscosity grade.
