A & K Equipment Co has completed the installation of a MAD HD EasyLoad Hoist System in a customer’s box truck.

The new system provides a method for lifting and moving heavy items, aiming to make loading and unloading processes more manageable on job sites.

MAD EasyLoad Hoist, an electrically powered onboard loading system, is designed to enable operators to lift and move cargo weighing up to 500kg without assistance or the use of external machinery.

Users control the winch and extendable boom using a one-handed remote, allowing for the precise placement of loads inside the vehicle.

When necessary, the hoist can be removed and reinstalled in another compatible vehicle with minimal effort.

The company said: “The EasyLoad system helps reduce manual lifting, improves productivity, and keeps equipment moving safely on the job site.”

A & K Equipment Co installs and services equipment in Rahway, New Jersey, and operates within a 100-mile radius that covers parts of New York and Pennsylvania.

The company supplies equipment, such as vans, truck bodies, snow ploughs, and spreaders, as well as related accessories, to contractors, truck dealers, and municipal clients.
