About the Hook-Lift
JOAB's hooklifts are multipurpose. They can
be used with all vehicle manufacturers.
However, it is important that the vehicle has
been built specifically for the purpose of bear-
ing a hooklift
It is important to verify that the vehicle has the
correct axle distance and wheelbase.
JOAB’s hooklifts are designed to transport dif-
ferent types of bodies that have been man-
ufactured according to the Swedish
standardSS-3021.
These typically include: dump bodies, flat
beds, and containers, as shown.
Mounting the hooklift onto a vehicle that has
not been specifically designed for the purpose
of carrying a hooklift will increase the risk of an
abnormal load on the vehicle. This in turn can
lead to serious injury or damage.
EcoDrive 2.0 manual: 1021970 Edition 1 | 2022-02-04

Correct Usage
Incorrect use of JOAB's products can lead to material fatigue and cause excessive wear to the
hydraulics and its components. The service life of the product can be reduced and in the worst-
case lead to breakdown.
Do not drive the vehicle with the hook lift
extended. It must be fully retracted.
Do not use the vehicle for any other
purpose than its intended use.
Make sure to reverse straight towards the
body. Do not reverse at an angle.
Do not lift loads that exceed the hook-
lift's specifications.
If the body becomes stuck, observe cau-
tion. The hooklift can easily be damaged.

About the Hook-Lift | Hooklift Components
EcoDrive 2.0 manual: 1021970 Edition 1 | 2022-02-04

LA-Model Hook-Lifts
LA-models are equipped with both a folding-hook-post (L) and a safety-hook (M), as shown
above.
The folding-hook-post is used to allow for low lifting angles. The hook-post can be moved
upwards and downwards as required to assist the downloading of a body. It is operated using
the cab controller for the hooklift.
The safety-hook is used to lock the hook onto the lifting bracket of a body and is operated from
the cab.
Optional Locking Mechanisms
JOAB's hooklifts can be purchased with
optional body locking devices. These options
are in addition to the governing standards rel-
evant to each country.
For information regarding the relevant body
standard, refer to "Body Standard", on page 7.
An internal-mechanical lock or hydraulic lock
can be purchased as an option, as shown
opposite.
If a hooklift with external hydraulic locking is
purchased, the body must have cut-outs in its frame, as shown. If the body does not have cut-
outs, it will not be secured during transport!
If a hooklift with internal-mechanical locking is purchased, make sure that the locks engage the
body correctly. If they do not engage correctly, the body will be transported unsecured!
Manufacture Plate
All hooklifts have a manufacture-plate located
on the front left-hand side of the sub frame.
The information on the manufacture-plate
must be provided in the event of making a
claim or when ordering spare parts from
JOAB.

Body Standard
The use of bodies that are not designed in accordance with the standard SS 3021
can lead to personal injury or environmental damage. JOAB accepts no respons-
ibility for the use of bodies that do not conform to the standard: SS 3021.
JOAB's hooklifts are designed to handle bodies that are manufactured in accordance with the
Swedish standard SS 3021. Shown below are some of the more important requirements of the
standard: SS 3021.
Internal mechanical lock that locks the body
onto the hooklift. This is optional equipment.
Holes in the body's rear beam. These are
used to secure the body onto a trailer.
Cut-outs in the body's frame. These are used
to hydraulically lock the body onto the hooklift.
Modification in the body that allows the hooklift
to lock the body onto the hooklift with the use
of locking arms (optional).
EcoDrive 2.0 manual: 1021970 Edition 1 | 2022-02-04

The body must have a stop member that pre-
vents the body from moving forwards and into
the cab of the vehicle.
Internal holes located in the body's frame
members are used to lock the body onto a
trailer.

Safety
Observe all safety warnings. Failure to do so can lead to serious injury or damage to
equipment. For further information regarding warning labels placed on the vehicle,
refer to "Safety Warnings", on page 69.
All personnel operating the hooklift must read and follow all warnings provided in this manual
and on the hooklift.
Every day, before operation of the hooklift,
inspect and verify that no objects have fallen in
between the hooklift’s tipping components.
Always make sure that the vehicle is on a level
and firm surface before operating the hooklift.
Failure to do so can cause the vehicle to
become unevenly loaded and lead to it tipping
over.
If the vehicle leans two or more degrees there
is a risk that it will tip over.
Before collecting a body, make sure that its
body-bracket is undamaged.
Make sure that the hook on the hooklift
engages the body's bracket properly, as
shown opposite.
If the hooklift has a safety hook (LA models
only), make sure that it is locked.
Do not tip, load, or unload bodies when the
vehicle’s axles are raised.
Make sure the axles, where applicable, are
lowered before operating the hooklift.
Do not make any modifications to the hook-lift
as this can effect its structural properties. If a
modification is required, contact JOAB for
advice before making a modification to the
hook-lift.

Operation
This chapter explains the operation and control of the EcoDrive Hook-Lift using the CBW con-
troller, that is located inside the cab.
The hooklift can also be controlled with the use of JOAB's radio controller or wired remote con-
troller. These are not standard equipment and must be ordered as an extra option. For further
information regarding the radio controller see "Radio Controllers", on page 35.
CBW Controller
The CBW controller has both a display and control-
stick, as shown, and is used to control all functions
of the hooklift.
To watch a video of the controller in use, click the fol-
lowing link:video.
Certain functions, such as the operation of the
hydraulic pump, can be installed on the cab instru-
ment panel, either in addition or separate from the
CBW controller, as required.
The CBW controller has the following main parts:
1. Emergency Stop
2. User Interface
3. Control stick
4. Mounting bracket
5. Screen lock screw
The emergency stop button is used in case of an emergency. Once pressed, all functions of
the hooklift that could cause injury are disabled. For further information regarding the emer-
gency stop, refer to "Emergency Stop", on page 20.
The user interface of the CBW controller has a 2.8 inch colour display. It is configurable. It is
possible to display one of five different page setups. Each page setup can have six user
defined functions, such as turning lights on. For further information see "Page Setups", on
page 14.
If the PTO is tuned off, the display will also turn off. However, if there are any active warnings
the display will show the warnings (refer also to "Warnings", on page 16).
The control-stick is used to control the basic functions of the hooklift, such as tipping. For
detailed information regarding its function, refer to "Control Stick Function", on page 17.
EcoDrive 2.0 manual: 1021970 Edition 1 | 2022-02-04

The mounting bracket is used to mount the unit inside the cab. Normally it is mounted onto the
driver's A-post. However, it is also possible to mount it onto the driver's right arm rest (an extra
cable is required to do this). This is ideal for vehicles equipped with a snow plough. Refer to
"Appendix 2 - APC Transfer Kit ", on page 79 for further information about this.
A split setup is also possible with the control-stick mounted next to the driver's seat and the dis-
play on the A-post. This however is not ideal for snow ploughs.
User Interface
Shown opposite is an overview of the user
interface.
The areas marked with a white rectangle on
the screen are programmable. The user can
set which functions are placed there. These
functions are activated by pressing the cor-
responding buttons: F1–F4 and the
UP/DOWN arrows. For further information on
how to set these functions, refer to "Function
Buttons", on page 16 below.
The function icons (F1–F4 and the UP/DOWN
arrow buttons) that are displayed in the user
interface is dependent upon which page setup
is selected. There are five different page
setups. To switch between these press either
the left or right arrow button located below the screen. For more information see "Page
Setups", on page 14.
All other icons that are displayed on the screen (not the user defined functions) simply provide
feedback to the user regarding the status of the hooklift, which page setup is active, and active
functions, such as lights on etc.
See "Icon Definitions", below for a list of the icons and their function.
Icon Definitions
Provided below is a list of the functions available in the user interface and their meaning. Note,
not all functions listed below are activated for all installations. Some of the functions are
optional extras, these are marked with an asterisk (*).
Functions that can be selected for the programmable areas (F1–F4 and the UP and DOWN
buttons) are coloured white. All other buttons (orange and green) simply provide feedback to
the user as to whether or not they are active.
