Aluhebetechnik (AHT)- Modul Hydraulk Weber (MHW) was founded in 1985 in a small village in Austria. Since that time they have grown into a world wide company. They are the only company in the world that produces an all aluminum Tailgate Loader. A weight reduction of approximately 50%, compared to steel products, is one of the main reasons this durable product was chosen. If the alloy has been carefully selected, and properly handled, it will never corrode and have a much longer life span.
