About the Hook-Lift
JOAB's hook-lifts are multi-purpose. 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 hook-lift.
It is important to verify that the vehicle has the
correct axle distance and wheelbase.
JOAB’s hook-lifts 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 hook-lift onto a vehicle that has
not been specifically designed for the purpose
of carrying a hook-lift will increase the risk of an
abnormal load on the vehicle. This in turn can
lead to serious injury or damage.
EcoDrive manual: 13300 Edition 1 | 2019-01-31

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 caution.
The hook-lift can easily be damaged.

LA-Model Hook-Lifts
LA-models are equipped with both a folding-hook-post (I) and a safety-hook (J), 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 loading/unloading of a body. It is operated
using the cab controller for the hook-lift.
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 hook-lifts 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 hook-lift 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 hook-lift 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 hook-lifts have a manufacture-plate located
on the front left-hand side of the subframe. The
information on the manufacture-plate must be
provided in the event of making a claim or when
ordering spare parts from JOAB.

In addition to the manufacture plate, the man-
ufacture number is a also stamped onto the cyl-
inder cross member, as shown.
Design
JOAB's products are subjected to demanding
tasks and must be of the highest quality. All of
JOAB's components and constructions are thor-
oughly tested. Simulations for calculating: load
capacity, durability, and service life are per-
formed on all components
All development and manufacture is per-
formed by JOAB. We are ISO 9001 and ISO
14001 certified.
A large proportion of our production is auto-
mated. This guarantees high quality in the man-
ufacturing process.

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 responsibility
for the use of bodies that do not conform to the standard: SS 3021.
JOAB's hook-lifts 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 hook-lift. 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 hook-lift.
Modification in the body that allows the hook-lift
to lock the body onto the hook-lift with the use
of locking arms (optional).
EcoDrive manual: 13300 Edition 1 | 2019-01-31

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 mem-
bers 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 Warn-
ings", on page 59.
All personnel operating the hook-lift must read and follow all warnings provided in this manual
and on the hook-lift.
Every day, before operation of the hook-lift,
inspect and verify that no objects have fallen in
between the hook-lift’s tipping components.
Always make sure that the vehicle is on a level
and firm surface before operating the hook-lift.
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 hook-lift
engages the body's bracket properly, as shown
opposite.
If the hook-lift 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 hook-lift.
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
Thischapter explains the operation and control of the EcoDrive Hook-Lift using the CBW con-
troller, that is located inside the cab.
The hook-lift can also be controlled with the use of JOAB's radio controller. Radio controllers are
an extra option. For further information see "Radio Controllers", on page 27.
CBW controller
The CBW controller has both a display and control
stick, as shown, and is used to control all functions of
the hook-lift.
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 fallowing main parts:
1. Emergency Stop
2. User Interface
3. Control stick
4. Mounting bracket
5. Screen lock screw
The emergencystop button isused in case of an emergency. Once pressed, all functions of the
hook-lift that could cause injury are disabled. To restore operation the system must be restar-
ted.
The user interface of the CBW controller has a 2.8 inch colour display. It is configurable. It is pos-
sible to display one of five different page set-ups. Each page set-up can have six user defined
functions, such as turning lights on. For further information see "Page Set-Ups", on page 14.
The control stick is used to control the basic functions of the hook-lift, such as tipping. For
detailed information regarding its function, refer to "Control Stick Function", on page 16.
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. This is
ideal for snow ploughs.
