Where it fits
Self-contained patching capability for fleets that already own hook-lift trucks.
A hook-lift patching unit is built for fleet versatility. Thermo-Lay designs the unit to mount on an existing hook-lift chassis, helping agencies avoid long dedicated-chassis procurement delays.
The unit has its own hydraulic power system, so the patching body can be set on a compatible hook-lift truck when it is time to repair roads, then removed when the chassis is needed for another body.
This format makes sense for municipalities, counties, and contractors that already operate hook-lift trucks and want one chassis to support more than one mission.
