Stellar Industries Inc., has released its new telescopic hooklifts—the NXT Series.
The NXT18, the first model released in the NXT Series, offers a 18,000lb capacity, 7.5-inch lost load height, and can handle 12-14-foot bodies with 108-120-inch CA (cable to axis measurement) chassis.
Stellar said its telescopic jib utilizes a multi-plate design that is lightweight but structurally sound capable of handling a wide range of body lengths. Its manual adjustable hook height makes it easy to set the hook height to match the lift bar height of a fleet of containers.
A unique bolt-on body lock system provides universal adjustment for either inside or outside locks—only requiring one truck and one operator to handle a wide range of capacities and body sizes.
The NXT Series provides maximum flexibility—using flatbeds, storage containers and more—to tackle multiple jobs and added jobs per day.
The Z-rail design also provides high strength without added weight. Its base is pre-drilled to allow for efficient installation on the chassis and to allow body saddles to be installed where needed. Integrated body lock mounting holes on the dump section eliminate the need to cut off/weld on locks. The compact secondary design provides a lost load height of 7.5-inches and when combined with the dump section creates a double-pivot, allowing a lower below-grade hook bar approach that accommodates sub-frame heights as low as 4-inches
For added convenience and efficiency, the integrated soft-stop feature brings the body to rest gently on the body saddles, and the speed enhancement system for cylinder extension cuts cycle time up to 30 percent.
Programmable logic provides precision hook deployment, and the radio remote control transmitter delivers easy, handheld operation control. The universal mounting bracket lets the operator, for example, place the 8-gallon (30.3 L) reservoir where you want it: top mount at the bulkhead or along the chassis frame, or on either side of the unit. Integrated replaceable wear pads make service a breeze.
