Queensland trailer builder GLT has further bolstered its partnership with JOST by becoming an authorised dealer for HYVA Hookloaders and Skiploaders.
This will give customers the opportunity to access a complete, Australian engineered truck mounted lifting solution through GLT, including sales, installation and servicing – all under the one roof.
Whether in the waste, construction, civil or heavy industry applications, there are a range of HYVA options available to suit customer needs.
GLT will support HYVA Titan EVO equipment including the Hookloader, Multirail and Skiploader models, backed by a shared commitment to safety, durability and engineering excellence.
Commenting on the new partnership, Leanne Stewart, GLT’s Head of Sales and Marketing, explained, “Becoming an authorised HYVA dealer allows GLT to move beyond supplying individual components and instead deliver fully engineered Hooklift and Skiploader systems as part of a complete vehicle solution.
“For us, it’s about combining HYVA’s proven lifting technology with GLT’s in house design, fabrication and manufacturing capability to create systems that are purpose built for the customer’s operation – not just bolted on.
“It strengthens our role as a true engineering partner, capable of delivering compliant, customised and highly productive solutions from concept through to long term support – all delivered in house from our Brisbane facility.”

According to Leanne, the integration of HYVA into the JOST Group made the decision a natural progression for GLT. “We were already working closely with both brands, but what really attracted us was the opportunity to build on that platform with our own design and manufacturing expertise,” she said.
“The alignment between HYVA, JOST and GLT allows us to offer customers something more than a standard system – we can customise layouts, integrate additional equipment and design supporting trailers and bodies that work seamlessly with the lifting system and the wider fleet.”
For customers, it provides a more streamlined process. “Instead of dealing with multiple suppliers for bodies, lifting systems, hydraulics and compliance, they can work with one specialist that understands the entire vehicle,” added Leanne.
This capability allows GLT to deliver a genuine whole of system solution. Customers aren’t just buying a Hooklift or Skiploader – they’re getting a setup that’s been engineered around their payloads, containers, operating environment and workflow.
In recent times, GLT has been seeing strong demand for complementary equipment such as Hooklift trailers, dog trailers and custom bodies designed to work in unison with the lifting system.
By designing and building these components together, GLT can optimise performance, compliance and productivity across the entire combination, while simplifying procurement and support for the customer.
This new partnership builds on GLT’s already long-standing relationship with JOST, built on shared values around quality, safety and engineering integrity. Over time, that relationship has developed into a strong partnership across multiple product categories.
GLT regularly uses various products from JOST including landing legs, turntables, kingpins and coupling components across its trailer builds.
“These products are well proven in Australian conditions and support the payload, durability and safety outcomes our customers expect from GLT equipment,” Leanne said.
“The expansion of JOST to include HYVA globally has only strengthened that alignment, making it easier for us to integrate trusted components into our builds and support customers with confidence.”
As an authorised HYVA dealer and installer, GLT provides full system design, supply, installation, integration, servicing and parts support.
That includes custom engineering of the Hooklift or Skiploader system, hydraulic and electrical integration, fabrication of complementary equipment such as trailers and bodies, and ongoing maintenance and lifecycle support. “Our focus is on delivering a solution that continues to perform reliably long after it leaves our facility,” said Leanne.
“One of GLT’s key strengths is our ability to customise and innovate around standard equipment. We’re not limited to catalogue configurations – we regularly design bespoke solutions to suit unique customer requirements.
“That flexibility, combined with our in house manufacturing and aftersales support, allows customers to invest in a system that genuinely fits their business, rather than adapting their operation to suit the equipment.”
