STELLAR NXT™ Series Hooklifts

StellarLogo_2023_1c_White.png

Stellar’s NXT Series is the next evolution of telescopic hooklifts—built to dominate. Strong yet lightweight, these systems muscle through loading, unloading, and dumping across a wide range of truck bodies with uncompromising efficiency.

Z-rail design delivers uncompromising strength without added weight. Pre-drilled base bolts up fast to the truck chassis and lets you place body saddles exactly where you need them. Integrated body-lock mounting holes on the dump section ensure precise saddle placement—no guesswork, no wasted time.

Telescopic jib with a multiplate design slashes weight yet stays rock-solid, handling any body length you throw at it.

Dominate the job. Our industry-leading universal body latching system doesn’t compromise—it adapts. Inside (NXT18) and outside locks (all models) move when you say so: unbolt, reposition, bolt back down. Put the body locks exactly where you want them, even when the originals are out of place. Stop cutting. Stop rewelding. Stop repainting. Get it done right—fast.

Match your fleet’s lift bar height—no excuses.

NXT18: manual hook-height adjustment from 36" to 54".

NXT40 and NXT52: manual or hydraulic hook-height adjustment from 54" to 62".

Compact secondary design: Slashes load height to 7.5″ (NXT18) and 10.5″ (NXT40/NXT52), driving a lower, below-grade hook bar approach.

Integrated replaceable wear pads—swap them fast and slash downtime.

The integrated soft-stop locks in control—gently settling the body on the saddles—while the cylinder-extension speed system slashes cycle time by up to 75% (NXT40 and NXT52).

Compact secondary design: Slashes load height to 7.5″ (NXT18) and 10.5″ (NXT40/NXT52), driving a lower, below-grade hook bar approach.

The NXT18 packs electronic controls for efficient hooklift operation. Engage two-speed when precision is non-negotiable—slow the unit down and take tight control. The NXT40 and NXT52 run an air control system for smooth, no-nonsense operation.

Programmable logic commands precision hook deployment, and the radio remote puts full control in your hand—inside the chassis cab or on the ground (NXT18).

Universal mounting bracket puts the 8-gallon (NXT18) and 25-gallon (NXT40, NXT52) hydraulic reservoirs exactly where you want them—top mount at the bulkhead (NXT18), along the chassis frame, or on either side of the unit (all models). No compromises, no interference, no workarounds—just bolt it up and go.
