Every truck that is built
at the Sterling plant we move, that's an average of 600 trucks
a month. I have moved as many as 1140 trucks in a 3
week period. Ninety five percent are picked up by the front
axle, most of which are set back axles, a lot are even twin steer
front axle with 3 rear drive axles. Some have extended front bumpers
or frame work for snow plows, so you have to reach out a long way
and raise them up high to have all the axles off the ground. My
Zacklift 303 has never failed me, I honestly have no complaints what
so ever, I just love everything about it, the tilt is wonderful and
it is so user friendly to operate, I can't say enough good things
about it. I will have owned this unit 2 years in Dec of 2006 and in
18 months have moved 11,000 trucks, Thanks Karl for a
wonderful piece of equipment.

I tow between 30-50 trucks per week.
Tractor trailers, buses, & motor homes. I've had NRC & KKK 5th wheel
units & my Z303 FIFTHWHEELER from Zacklift is by far the best unit.
The long reach is great. I got more attachments standard than with the
others. The 12" Bus Extensions are great on Detroit oil pans. No more
double picking. "Larry

ZACKLIFT Z303 FIFTHWHEELER. You make such a
great product, this thing runs nonstop. Any driver can jump in it and
go. It runs circles around my big wreckers. To be honest, we have it
on a 260" wheelbase KW and I've towed loaded tractor trailers. You're
not going to get that out of an NRC. We're getting a truck ready for a
Zack Z403 next.

" We have a Z303 FIFTHWHEELER on a 260"
wheel base Peterbilt and do a lot of long distance towing. We tow a
lot of motor homes and buses. We never have to worry about scaling. We
love the wheel lift, and the Scoop-n-Go forks. Now we are ready to buy
a Z403 for our hydraulic wrecker. Thanks for a great product.

We have been in business
45 years and specialize in heavy duty towing and recovery. We
recently purchased a 403 FIFTHWHEELER and had it installed at the
factory. We couldn't be happier with the service that we received
from everyone at Zacklift. We arrived at the factory and you're
crew got right to work and stayed at it till everything was done,
they did a wonderful job. We got back home and immediately had 2
jobs that we would not have been able to do with out this unit, the
147' reach is great. The first job was a wrecked semi and the
trailer suspension had been damaged, we put our dolly under the
front of the trailer and reached way up under the rear tilted it up
to clear the ICC bar and towed it 120 miles to our shop without a
problem. The next call was a boom truck with a set back front axle
that is hard to reach and very heavy, again we handled it with no
problem. I purchased every accessory that you have available and am
amazed at the quality of everything. We really like the front axle
forks that are low profile and fit snug on a front axle. I just
like everything about this unit.

" We purchased a Zacklift FIFTHWHEELER this
summer. After some customized rigging and fabrication I believe we
have found the "Cadillac" of fleet-affordable transport wreckers!
Thanks Karl, it was a pleasure doing business and feel free to use us
as a reference.

We have a Z30 5TH wheel mount with a 12
volt power pack, on a 260 Wb tractor. We recently towed a fire truck at
full extension, with a front axle weight of 16,000 Lbs. We are pleased
with our unit and have had it in service for about 4 years now.

I'm in Canada, and you were very good
to me whenever I needed anything over the years, getting parts or
accessories was never a problem. I like the Zacklift I've had, and you
treated me fairly every time we did business. That's why I'm buying my
FIFTHWHEELER from you. "

We just purchased the Zacklift FIFTHWHEELER for our 92 Peterbilt. The
brand name attracted us. Everyone we talked to said that Zacklift was
the best quick swap you can buy. We can easily take the wheel lift
off, being able to use the truck for other things. We owe a great deal
of appreciation to Karl at Zacklift for information on the correct
unit we needed. His input was of great value as he worked with us to
purchase only the unit and product accessories we really needed.

We have a 303 on a
270 wheelbase Kenworth and have never come across anything we cant
tow. We really like how fast you can hook up and be down the road in
no time. My driver just got back from towing a diesel pusher motor
home with no problems. The owner told him it weighed 54,000 lbs
gross and 15,000 on the front axle. With the reach on this 303 we
were hooked up and on our way in no time flat.

We have two Z30 Zacklift's and
really like how easy they are to use. Hook up is simple. This is why
we are now looking at your MH10,000 medium duty lift.

The people at Zacklift are the real reason why I’m about to buy my
6th Zacklift. It’s great to call and talk to Karl. He knows towing,
and everything there is to know about using Zacklift equipment. I’m
putting together a 300” wheelbase truck with a Zacklift. I’m making
what I’d call a Transporter, without a boom. It just makes good
sense for most of what we all do. My last Zacklift was on a 50-ton
wrecker. Recently I had a turned over concrete pump truck, with two
front steer axles. It took 3 trucks to set it up, and I towed it 130
miles with my Zacklift. I towed a 6-axle crane, and Dale Earnhardt’s
tractor trailer loaded with race cars! When I get out there to do a
job, I know there is absolutely nothing this Zacklift won’t handle.
My first Zacklift was almost 20 years ago. I really haven’t seen
equipment or service like this. We wear out a truck and switch the
Zacklift to the next one. I’d have to say I like everything about
this equipment. "

" We have a permanent mount Z30 with a winch

we are now going to replace our formula 3 century lift with a 403
Zacklift. "

I put together a FLD
Freightliner with a 750 and a 60 ton Garwood. You folks told me that
to really push the underlift to what it can really do, I could
stretch it to 300 plus inches. I went for 324” and the limitation is
still the truck. The Zacklift can still outwork the truck. I’ve been
running it for over 15 years and the only thing I ever had to do was
grease it and put in a set of wear pads. I landed a contract to
transport nearly 500 Macks back to the factory for a fuel pump
recall. We got the contract over several competing companies with
factory built wreckers. Your tire attachment is what allowed us to
do the job.
The Freightliner is featured in the ’02 Wreckers International
video. Bill Jackson was extremely impressed with the combination of
‘old school’ and ‘new school’ together. The ‘old school’ 750 and the
new technology of the Zacklift Z30.

On Zacklift Big Scoops
If we didn't have Big Scoop Forks, we wouldn't be in business. We
run them on all of our other wreckers too, all our Millers and
Jerr-Dans. I tell everyone I know they've got to have these forks.

I was looking for a fork
to use on front axles that would fit tight and not have a lot of
movement back and forth. Karl Bardroff, your national sales manager,
suggested using Zacklift's torsion bar fork. I tried a set of Zacklift Torsion Bar forks
and they worked so well that I bought two more sets .
