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.
Page 16
Body Standard | 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.
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. EcoDrive 2.0 manual: 1021970 Edition 1 | 2022-02-04...
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.
Operation | CBW controller 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).

Operation | EcoDrive Standard Functions EcoDrive Pressure Control - EPC The system is always operated using optimal hydraulic pressure. This is based on the function that is being operated. The system is self-calibrating and can work from 50 bar to 350 bar. Optimized pressure control allows for reduced response time.
Make sure that FFD is de-activated. It is possible to have FFD set so that it is deactivated at every system start. Contact JOAB service for more information about this. Tipper Safety System - TSS The auxiliary-lifting-arms are controlled using weight based damping.
Operation | EcoDriveOptional Functions Decentralized Hydraulic System - DHS EcoDrive's hydraulic system is modular. This has enabled a 30 % reduction in the number of hoses required, which in turn reduces the risk of damage to hoses. It also provides faster response times for certain functions.
Operation | EcoDriveOptional Functions Position Memory System - PMS This function allows for the recording of shunting and tipping positions. Whenever PMS is act- ive, the hooklift will automatically stop at the saved position for shunting or tipping. Set the Shunting Position 1.
If it is possible, shunting will begin, as long as the bottom button is held down. Service Online System - SOS JOAB's Cloud solution for EcoDrive provides remote roadside assistance, regardless of your location. Container Memory System - CMS CMS ensures that the extending-section stops at a preset point when loading a container onto the hook-lift.
This can also be done with the use of JOAB's radio controller. To do so, simply press and hold down the hydraulic lock open button on the radio controller while operating the extending-section. Refer to "Radio Controllers", on page 35.

This is used to load or unload a body in one continuous cycle.
Operation | Extendable Underrun Protection The hooklift can be equipped with asphalt driving mode. This allows the extending-section to move up and down when in tipping mode, which is ideally suited for asphalt work. It allows a asphalt container to extend into the asphalting machinery. Asphalt driving can be operated from different control sources, for example, it can also be operated using a radio controller.
However, they can also be retro fitted. If a retro fit is required, the hook-lift's main-valve-block will require software updates, and possibly additional JOAB hardware. For information regard- ing a retro fit, please take contact with JOAB's after sales department to discuss the options available.
Table 10: Crane lifting ability Crane Lifting Capacity (ton/meter) Dowel-Pins Required Dowel-pins can be retro-fitted. For information regarding this please contact JOAB after sales department. Activating a Crane Read and adhere to all safety warnings and operating instructions in the crane's oper- ator manual before operating a crane.
Radio Controllers A radio operated controller can be bought as an option for all EcoDrive Hook-Lifts. These allow for operation of the hooklift remotely. The operator does not need to be in the vehicle to oper- ate the hooklift. The use of a radio controller allows the operator to have a good visual overview of the lifting operation.
Radio Controllers | Operation Buttons 9–12 are digital and used for simple functions, such as the operation of a spreader flap. The buttons 1–12 are functionalism. That is, they can have more than one function assigned to them. See "Function Mode" below. Display The display at the top of the controller displays information regarding the current function mode selected and the function currently activated.
Radio Controllers | Operation which function mode is operative, see Table 11, on page 36. If function mode 1 is active the LEDs for buttons 11 and 12 are not illuminated. Listed below is an overview of the buttons and their functions in relation to which function mode has been selected.
