8 Ton Hydraulic Scissor Hoist for 10–14' Dump Body | DH-516 Pro for Trailer
Product Overview
The DH-516 Pro Scissor Hoist for Trailer is a reinforced 8 ton hydraulic scissor hoist assembly designed for 10–14 ft dump beds, engineered specifically for dump trailers that require enhanced structural strength, improved load stability, and longer service life.
Building on the proven DH-516 Short Lower Arm design, the DH-516 Pro features additional reinforcement at critical load-bearing and pivot points, resulting in a more rigid structure and improved resistance to flexing under heavy or repeated loads.
Designed by DAT HOIST, this Pro-grade hoist delivers smoother lifting performance, better load control, and increased durability while retaining the short lower arm configuration for easier installation on narrow frame dump trailers.
This product includes the reinforced scissor hoist structure and hydraulic cylinder only and is backed by a standard 24-month warranty.
