[QUOTE="BigBear56, post: 1656436, member: 38461"] I don’t want to start a major debate but give my comments after working for a dump body manufacturer for several years. We always encouraged customers to use telescopic hoists as they have less moving parts, lower mounting height and typically lift almost twice the load of an underbody (scissor) hoist. But they are more expensive. Hoist speed is determined by several factors but typically the telescopic hoists are slower as they take more oil to fill the larger cylinder. If you’re planning on using the trailer daily and hauling rock and dirt, I would recommend the telescopic hoist. If it’s occasional use and hauling lighter materials, the scissor hoist should be fine. Dump angle is engineered and can vary by manufacturer regardless of hoist. Most are probably around 50 degrees [/QUOTE]
