The Standard Spec

We Order The Same TruckOver And Over

Look through our roll-offs and they start to look identical. That's on purpose. After enough years of ordering these, the configuration below is what came out the other side — a truck specced to run heavy containers all day and keep doing it long past the point where a lighter build would be in the shop. Here's the spec and the reasoning behind each piece of it.

Gross rating

66,000 lb GVWR

Titled and rated to carry it — 20,000 lb on the front axle plus 46,000 lb on the rear. The rating is the sum of the running gear under it, not a round number picked off a brochure.

Hoist

60,000 lb

Sized so a full container is routine work rather than a maximum effort. A hoist pulling at its ceiling every day is a hoist you'll be rebuilding early.

Drive & suspension

Tandem, T-Ride Or Hendrickson

Two drive axles to carry the weight and keep traction on a soft job site. Single-axle roll-offs exist; they don't hold up to this duty cycle.

Transmission

Allison 4500 RDS

An automatic built for rugged duty. A container route is hundreds of shifts a day under load, and this is the one that survives it without a clutch bill.

Rear ratio

4.56

Geared to pull a loaded can up a transfer-station ramp without lugging the driveline. If most of your miles are long-haul, say so and we'll spec taller.

Power

455 hp, D13 Or X12

Volvo D13 or Cummins X12, with an engine brake on essentially every unit — because bringing a loaded can down a grade is harder on a truck than taking it up.

Why this spec lasts

Nothing On It Is Working At Its Limit

46,000 lb

Rear axle and suspension capacity under the tandem

60,000 lb

Hoist rating, on a 22-ft outside-rail container

300,000+

Miles we've seen these come in on trade and go back out working

Heavy loads don't break a truck in one trip. They break it through repetition — a hoist cycling near its rating, an axle carrying everything it's rated for, a driveline lugging under weight it was barely geared for. Do that four hundred times a month and the bills arrive on schedule.

This spec is built the other way around. The axles, the hoist, and the transmission are all rated past what a normal load asks of them, so the work that wears out a lighter truck is just Tuesday for this one. That's the reason trucks in this configuration come back through our lot with a quarter million miles on them and still sell.

None of this is a package you're stuck with. It's where we land when nobody tells us different — so tell us different. Longer wheelbase, taller gearing, a 75,000-lb hoist, a lift axle: that's an order, and we'll walk the spec sheet with you line by line.

Factory-Authorized Dealer

Pac-Mac Roll-Off HoistsBuilt In Mississippi

Pac-Mac is a division of Hol-Mac Corporation, and the hoists are built in Bay Springs, Mississippi — cylinders included. We're a factory-authorized Pac-Mac dealer, which means OEM parts, factory training, and direct manufacturer support instead of third-party sourcing when something needs attention. It's also the body under most of the roll-offs on our lot, so the people selling it are the people who service it.

RO60 hoist — manufacturer specification

60,000 lb

Rated hoist capacity. A 75,000-lb version is built on the same platform if your loads run heavier.

8″ × 4″ × ½″

A500 B main frame tubing, on a 4″ × 2″ sub frame. This is where a hoist either lasts or doesn't.

49°

Tilt angle, so sticky and wet loads actually clear the box instead of riding back to the yard.

22 ft

Maximum outside-rail container length, up to 8 ft tall. Check this against the cans you already run.

7⁄8″ cable

Running over 10″ bronze-bushed sheaves on 2½″ pins, with four forged cable clamps at the anchor.

ANSI Z-245

Compliant, with automatic roller lock, spring-loaded container lock, and dual maintenance props.

Designed To Be Worked On

Most of what separates a good hoist from a cheap one shows up three years in, at the point where something has to be greased, replaced, or diagnosed. Pac-Mac builds for that, and as the shop that services these, we notice:

  • Every lube fitting reachable from ground level — no climbing, no crawling under a raised hoist
  • Wiring routed through a full-length steel conduit rather than strapped along the frame
  • Bolt-on replaceable steel fenders, rear sheave guards, and light boxes — wear parts you swap, not weld
  • Side rollers on double-shear mounts with replaceable greasable pins
  • Hydraulic reservoir behind the cab, which runs cooler and stays cleaner than a frame-rail tank
  • Scale-ready rear pivot — a bolt-on scale kit goes on later with no modifications

We mount them on the chassis you spec. What's moving through here now is mostly Volvo VHD64 and Freightliner 114SD, with Mack GR64B as well — tandem, 66,000 GVWR, Allison behind a 455-hp engine. Tell us the route and we'll tell you what fits it.

Lease & Rental

You Need The Truck WorkingYou Don't Need To Own It

A roll-off tied up in capital is still a roll-off sitting in the yard between jobs. If your work runs in project cycles, or you're covering a contract you didn't have last quarter, or you're replacing an aging fleet without a capital request — there's a version of this that isn't a purchase.

13 to 60 months

Lease It

A new truck under the manufacturer's full factory warranty, on a fixed monthly cost you can budget three years out. When it goes in for service, a rental covers the route — your work doesn't stop because the truck did. Most fleets land on 36 months; it lines up with multi-year route contracts.

Three ways to structure it

  • Walk-away. Hand it back at term end. No buyout, no balloon payment, no surprise settlement.
  • Purchase option. Same lease, with the right to buy at a price agreed up front.
  • Fair market value. Lower monthly through the term, purchase price set by the market at the end.

Month to month, under 12 months

Rent It

For a job with an end date, a seasonal push, or a truck that's down and taking a route with it. Short-term roll-off rentals come to you fueled and ready to work, and extend on the same monthly rate as long as the term stays under a year.

Florida public agencies — published rate

$8,500 per month · roll-off

Awarded rate on Florida Sheriffs Association contract FSA25-VEH23.0, Item 89, Option RDKR. Any Florida governmental entity can order directly off the cooperative — no separate solicitation, no piggyback resolution. Commercial haulers, call for a rate on your term.

Nothing Hidden At The End Of The Term

At lease end you walk away, buy the truck at residual, extend the term you're in, or roll into a new one — your call, not ours. Return conditions are spelled out in writing before you sign, not discovered at turn-in. Have an aging fleet? Trade-in options can roll it into the new arrangement.

Build Sheet

Other Dealers Call These OptionsWe Call Them Standard

A roll-off spec sheet reads like a list of upgrades, and it's tempting to cut half of it to get to a number. We don't put you in that position — these five are in the build on every roll-off we order, not line items we quote back to you. Buy the same truck somewhere that treats them as extras and the savings are borrowed, not real: you're booking a retrofit later, at shop rates, with the truck off the route while it happens.

Tarp System

An uncovered load doesn't leave the job site, so this isn't a convenience item — it decides whether the truck can work at all. Ours come with Pioneer systems fitted at build, on a mount engineered for that body rather than adapted to it afterward.

Container Tie-Downs

Straps hold the can down to the rails so a loaded container isn't working itself loose at highway speed. We spec three-foot straps as standard. This is the cheapest line on the sheet and the one with the worst downside if it's missing.

Mid-Body Stops

Pull a short container all the way forward and its load ends up sitting between the steer and drive axles — over the weakest span of the frame instead of over the tandems. Mid-body stops catch a short can further back so the weight lands where the truck is built to carry it, which also keeps your axle weights legal. More than one set can be fitted if you run containers in several lengths.

Pintle Hitch Apron

Most buyers never mount a pintle hitch, and that's fine — the apron isn't the hitch. It's the mounting plate built in for one, so the day a job calls for pulling a pup trailer and moving two cans per trip, adding the hitch is a bolt-on instead of a fabrication project. This is the line on the sheet that costs you nothing today and saves you shop time you can't predict yet.

Dual Inside & Outside Controls

Run the hoist from the ground where the driver can actually watch the container, or from inside the cab in traffic, weather, and tight alleys. Picking one location is a compromise the driver feels on every single pull.

If your operation needs a spec that isn't on the lot — joystick controls, a different hoist rating, a lift axle for the payload you're running — that's an order, not a dead end. Tell us how the trucks are used and we'll build the sheet around it.

Buyer's Guide

Cable Hoist Or Hook Lift?Your Containers Decide

Both systems load, haul, and dump a container. The difference is how the truck connects to it. A cable hoist uses a winch and cable that the driver hooks to the container by hand. A hook lift uses a hydraulic hook arm the driver engages from the cab. That one difference drives everything else — where each one can work, how fast it cycles, and which containers it can pick up at all.

Cable Hoist

A winch pulls the container up the rails on its own wheels. The driver gets out, pulls the cable, hooks it to the container, and returns to the controls. This is what most of the North American waste, recycling, scrap, and C&D market runs.

Better when

  • Overhead is tight. The rail angle adjusts, so you can pick and dump at a much lower angle — inside a building or under an obstruction where a hook arm has nowhere to go.
  • Loads are heavy. The cable pulls the weight up the rails and the incline changes as it comes, which keeps cable tension down instead of lifting everything on one fixed geometry.
  • You run mixed container lengths. Almost any length works as long as it doesn't hang past the tail of the rails. Hook lifts are generally held to within a few feet of their shortest rated body.
  • Your cans vary in style. Cable hoists handle both inside-rail and outside-rail containers.

Hook Lift

A hydraulic hook arm reaches out, catches a bar on the container, and lifts it aboard — all worked from the driver's seat. Long the standard overseas, and gaining ground here on municipal and multi-purpose fleets.

Better when

  • Pick count is the whole business. No getting out, no dragging cable. Stellar, which builds both systems, estimates a hauler doing ten picks a day could get to about twelve — roughly a twelve percent gain.
  • Safety drives the spec. The driver is never standing between the truck and the container, and never hauling a heavy cable through mud. That removes a whole category of back, hand, and strain injuries.
  • Space is tight or placement has to be exact. Hook lifts set a can down more precisely and need less open room ahead of the truck to work in.
  • You load off a dock, or want one truck to do five jobs. Hook lifts handle elevated loads a cable system can't, and swap between dump bodies, flatbeds, and tanks on the same chassis.

The part nobody tells you

The Containers You Already Own Decide This

The two systems don't share cans. A cable container has a hook and rollers; a hook lift container needs a lifting bar at the right height. If you own twenty cable cans, buying a hook lift truck means converting or replacing twenty containers — and that math almost never works. It's the reason cable hoists still dominate refuse and scrap hauling here, even where a hook lift would cycle faster.

Which flips the answer if you're starting from nothing. New to hauling, or replacing a fleet outright? That's when a hook lift deserves a serious look, because you're not paying to abandon containers you already bought. Tell us which side of that line you're on and the recommendation gets simple.

What's on our lot is cable hoists — mostly 60,000-lb units on tandem chassis, because that's what this market runs. Hook lifts we order to spec. We'd rather tell you that up front than sell you the system we happen to have in the row.
