JOIN OUR MANY CUSTOMERS WHO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE

SOUND FAMILIAR?

RUST-PRONE

“We had to patch welds and repaint way too soon—most hooklift cans just aren’t built to last.”

DRIVER FRUSTRATION

“The latches were so bad our drivers wasted time fighting to get the door open—every single job.”

BUILT CHEAP

“Most hooklift dumpsters are made with thinner steel and fewer reinforcements—like smaller jobs don’t deserve the same quality.”

If that hits close to home, you’re not alone—and you’re exactly who we build for.

Most people think it’s just a steel box, but the difference shows fast. Thompson’s cans hold up better than anything else we’ve run.

Hooklift containers for sale

Engineered for tight turns, built for real work.

Hooklift dumpsters shouldn’t mean cutting corners. Ours are built with the same durability, precision, and rust resistance as our roll-offs—just sized for tighter routes and smaller trucks. From clean welds to latch systems that actually stay aligned, we build hooklifts that hold up under pressure—whether you’re loading with a loader or using a flatbed truck body.

Hooklift container weld quality

Welds built to
handle the grind.

Hooklifts see just as much wear as roll-offs—sometimes more. We reinforce every seam, floor plate, cross members, and gussets so you’re not chasing down repairs after a few hard weeks in the field.

Rust prevention

Extra paint coatings
for vulnerable zones.

We prep, wash, and coat every dumpster container with extra protection where rust hits hardest—bottom rails, corners, top rails, and anywhere water likes to settle. That’s how we help extend your warranty lifespan.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING

Real operators. Real results.

See how we’ve made a difference through their words and experiences

The difference with Thompson is night and day. Their dumpsters don’t just look better—they perform better, saving us time and money.

John Dale
Pittsburgh, PA

Switching to Thompson was the best decision we made. Their dumpsters save us time, money, and frustration.

Michael V.
Chicago, IL

Their latches and doors just work—no more wasting time on the job site fighting with faulty equipment.

Jared S.
Cleveland, OH

Thompson’s attention to detail is second to none—I’ve seen their paint and weld quality last years longer than others.

Hooklift door and latch precision

Tight doors. Smooth unloads.

Misaligned doors cost time and fuel. Our tailgates stay plumb, latch fast, and release clean—so your crew stays efficient, not frustrated.

Premium hooklift containers and yard dumpsters

Time to expect more from your hooklift dumpsters.

Most suppliers treat hooklifts like an afterthought—lighter steel, rushed welds, and latch systems that wear out fast. We build ours like they matter. Because they do.

Seamless transition, no downtime

Our team walks you through every detail to ensure your next delivery fits your hook height, your routes, and your hooklift system—with no guesswork and no surprises.

Don’t get burned by shortcuts

Other suppliers might quote you cheap—but that means thinner paint, weaker welds, and more repairs down the road. We build it right the first time, whether it’s for standard duty or a custom combo build.

Roll-off strength in a hooklift build.

We use the same reinforcements, same prep, and same quality standards in our hooklifts as our roll-offs. That means reliable performance—whether it’s a tub style container or a heavy-duty recycling container.
