A hook-lift (7) for loading a payload carrier (8) onto a vehicle (1) over the rear of the vehicle (1). A hook-lift arm (10) is mounted pivotably to a base frame (9) and pivotable between a transport position and a load engagement position. The hook-lift arm (10) comprises a proximal part (11) and a distal part (12) projecting at an angle from the proximal part (11). The proximal part (11) extends along the base frame (9) and the distal part (12) projects upwardly relative to the base frame (9) when the hook-lift arm (10) is in the transport position. The proximal part (11) extends upwardly from the base frame (9) when the hook-lift arm (10) is in the load engagement position. The proximal part (11) comprises at least one extruded aluminium section (17, 18) extending in longitudinal direction of the proximal part (11). A vehicle equipped with such a hook-lift (10) is also described.
