16 Ton Dual Cylinder Hydraulic Scissor Hoist for 12–16' Dump Body | DH-5520
Product Overview
The DH-5520 Scissor Hoist is a 16 ton dual-cylinder hydraulic scissor hoist assembly designed for 12–16 ft dump beds, delivering exceptional lifting power, improved load balance, and smooth, controlled operation for demanding commercial applications. Designed by DAT HOIST, the dual-cylinder configuration distributes lifting force evenly, reducing torsional stress on the dump body and enhancing overall stability.
Manufactured from heavy-duty structural steel and reinforced at critical load-bearing points, the DH-5520 is ideal for customers who already have an existing hydraulic power unit or plan to integrate the hoist into a custom hydraulic system. This product includes the scissor hoist structure and two hydraulic cylinders only and is backed by a standard 24-month warranty.
