67RModel Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Yes very common in waste facilities and Landfills where they use tipper trailers. A friend of mine had a DMM 6x6 with one on it. It was an ex Waste Management rig from one of their fill sites. He ended up selling it to another trash company that had a transfer station. Also NVR homes prefabricates all walls for their homes in a facility and bundles them up. The entire house is framed in that facility. Then they lay all the walls, bundles of plywood, and the rest of the home's material to a flatbed trailer and haul it to the lot it is going to be built on. The trucks that pull them have these types of 5th wheels. The driver removes a bunch of straps and the the entire load gets raised and slid off the trailer onto the ground next to the completed foundation. Pretty wild to see...... 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73670-5th-wheel-hoist/#findComment-543830 Share on other sites More sharing options...
