For the steepest driveways
Mountain Hooks
Mountain Hooks are designed for the steepest driveways. The can's handle is cradled around our U-channel and secured in place using the standard PTO pin, one on each side of the trash can. This makes it impossible for the can's handle to detach during transportation. They are also great for when installation heights that are more than 20" tall or when using our Can Couples for hauling multiple cans at one time.

Garbage Hook Weight Capacity
-
According to statistics the average amount of waste produced per person in the U.S. is 30 pounds per week. When both a trash cart and recycle cart are provided, approximately 20 pounds per person per week is deposited into the trash cart and 10 pounds per person per week is deposited into the recycle cart. Therefore a family of four will produce approximately 80 pounds of trash and 40 pounds of recycle waste per week.
We have determined that by “handle weight”
That is the total amount of weight resting on the hook itself.
We loaded a trash can with 150 lbs and tested it at 3 different points.
14”, 18” and 21” which is the recommended height range for all our products.
-
For our UBL units the handle weight would be 40 lbs
-
For our Receiver Mounted the handle weight would be 50 lbs
-
For our Ball Mounted the handle weight would be 75 lbs.
If you have any other questions regarding handle weight please reach out to us. We are here to help.
Ideal operating height is 14"-21"
Our garbage can hauling hooks are specially designed and act as a retaining device that holds the handle in place during transportation. The hook and swiveling top rail are key in making a smooth trouble-free way to get trash down a winding driveway. The design is patented and comes in four different mounting methods; receiver mounted, ball mounted, bolt mounted and bumper mounted.
