I wouldn't say a dump truck hoist lifts at more angle than a grain truck hoist. It depends entirely on the type of hoist. I've seen some scissor hoists that will dump with the box vertical. As far as the hoists themselfs, weight is weight whether it's grain or wet clay. Hoists are sized for the GVW of the truck and usually exceed the amount the truck can carry by quite a bit. Dump truck hoists are generally much heavier duty with larger pumps so they're faster. Dump truck hoists also have automatic kickout pumps when lifted all the way up so you don't damage the pump or other hyd. components. This is why gravel trucks can drive along and spread gravel as they are dumping. The driver can't know the exact second the hoist is all the way up. Dump trucks lower a lot faster too and the boxes on them are a lot beefier to handle heavy abuse. Grain isn't too hard on a box. For occasional use, either can be used for the other purpose. I have a grain truck and used to have a dump truck. I much preferred the dump truck since I'm moving dirt and it's 10 times faster. The truck I have now, you have to get out of the cab and manually operate the lever to activate the hoist. I plan on moving that inside the cab but the hoist is slow and not nearly as strong as the older dump truck hoist I had. They were both almost the same single axle trucks. 1975 GMC 6500 (with the box and hoist moved to a 1989 Hino) and a 1995 GMC Topkick.

Today's Featured Article - On the Road with Dave Gohl: Auction Musings - by Dave Gohl. I was thinking the other day about all the auctions I've been to in the last few years. There've been many. Some have been very good, some have been well, disappointing to say the least. But no matter how good or bad auctions may be, we always seem to stay until the item we've come for or are interested in is on the block. I've been to some auctions near and far. I think the furthest has been the Two Cylinder 7 in the Amana Colonies last year. Lots of stuff, lots of people. I've also atten
