New Hook Lift Truck
Tandem Hook Lift Truck vs Single Axle Hook Lift Truck: Which Is Right for Your Project?
Earth-Wise Waste Management Solutions is proud to welcome the newest addition to our fleet: a tandem hook lift truck built for heavier loads, fewer trips and better overall value for our customers.
If you’re booking bins, removing concrete, or hauling aggregate, understanding the difference between a tandem hook lift truck and a single axle hook lift truck can help you save time and reduce hauling costs on your project.
Welcoming Our New Tandem Hook Lift Truck
This new tandem hook lift truck isn’t just new equipment, it’s a major capability upgrade.
With a 52,000lb hook lift capacity and the ability to carry up to 14 tonnes, our tandem hook lift truck allows us to move heavier materials safely and efficiently while reducing the number of trips required. That means less downtime on your site and lower total hauling costs.
Hook lift trucks are designed to load, transport, and unload bins without additional equipment, making them ideal for construction, demolition, and aggregate hauling.
What Is a Single Axle Hook Lift Truck?
A single axle hook lift truck has one rear drive axle and is best suited for lighter hauling needs.
Single axle hook lift truck characteristics:
- Around 22,000lb capacity
- Ideal for lighter debris and smaller bin swaps
- Well suited for tight residential access
Single axle hook lift trucks are reliable and versatile, but they can reach weight limits quickly when hauling dense materials like soil, concrete, or asphalt.
What Is a Tandem Hook Lift Truck?
A tandem hook lift truck features two rear drive axles, allowing it to safely carry significantly more weight while maintaining stability and control.
Our tandem hook lift truck offers:
- 52,000lb hook lift capacity
- Up to 14 tonnes of payload
- Improved weight distribution
- Fewer hauls for heavy materials
For construction, demolition, and aggregate hauling, a tandem hook lift truck is often the most efficient and cost-effective option.
Tandem vs Single Axle: The Real Difference
The biggest advantage of a tandem hook lift truck is efficiency.
Because a tandem hook lift truck can haul nearly double the weight of a single axle unit, it helps:
- Reduce the number of trips required
- Lower fuel and transportation costs
- Minimize disruption on active job sites
- Complete projects faster
For customers, fewer trips usually mean lower total project costs, especially when dealing with heavy or dense materials.
When a Tandem Hook Lift Truck Makes Sense
A tandem hook lift truck is ideal for:
- Concrete and asphalt removal
- Soil and aggregate hauling
- Large demolition projects
- Commercial construction sites
- Heavy roll-off bin service
If your bins are consistently approaching weight limits, requesting a tandem hook lift truck is the smarter choice.

Does a Tandem Hook Lift Truck Reduce Hauling Costs?
