This 1994 Kenworth T800 is a hook lift truck — sometimes referred to as a hooklift carrier or roll-off truck — a type of commercial vehicle designed to load, transport, and deposit interchangeable open-top containers, bins, and bodies without the need for additional handling equipment. Kenworth is a long-established American manufacturer of heavy-duty commercial trucks, widely recognised for producing robust, high-capacity vehicles used in construction, waste management, recycling, and industrial hauling.
Power comes from a Cummins diesel engine rated at 370 horsepower, paired with a Jake brake for engine braking on descents, and an 8LL transmission — an eight-speed with a low-low auxiliary range that gives the driver a wide spread of gear ratios for both loaded highway running and demanding off-road or site conditions. The cab is equipped with air conditioning. The rear axles are rated at 46,000 pounds, providing substantial load-carrying capacity suited to heavy container work, and the truck rides on Chalmers suspension, a system known for its durability and load-equalising characteristics on tandem axle configurations.
The hook lift body is an Ampliroll/Marrel unit, a well-regarded French-origin system that uses a hydraulic hook arm to engage and lift standardised containers directly onto the truck frame. A trailer hitch with air hookups is fitted, allowing the truck to tow air-braked trailers when required, which adds operational flexibility. The seller describes the truck as in very good, solid condition overall. Buyers should note that a vacuum pump is not included with this sale.
This used Kenworth T800 hook lift truck is located in Virginia, USA, and is offered at $58,500.
