8 Ton Hydraulic Scissor Hoist Kit for 10–14' Dump Body | DH-516 Pro for Trailer
Product Overview
The DH-516 Pro is an upgraded 8-ton hydraulic scissor hoist kit designed for 10–14 ft dump beds, featuring a short lower arm for easier installation on narrow frame dump bodies and a reinforced Pro-grade structure for improved strength and load stability.
Based on the proven DH-516 Short Lower Arm platform, the DH-516 Pro Edition incorporates additional structural reinforcement at critical load-bearing and pivot points, resulting in a more rigid hoist assembly with reduced flex and improved durability under heavier or repeated loads.
Engineered by DAT HOIST for demanding commercial use, this Pro kit delivers smoother lifting performance, better load control, and longer service life while maintaining compatibility with compact trailer frames.
The hydraulic cylinder and hoist frame are covered by a limited 2-year manufacturer warranty, and the included hydraulic power unit is backed by a limited 1-year manufacturer warranty.
