Stellar Industries, Inc. is introducing the Slider65 Hooklift loader. The

Slider65 is a sliding jib style hooklift with a maximum lifting capacity of 65,000 pounds. The

sliding jib allows the Slider65 to accommodate container bodies varying in length from

16-foot to 22-foot while still attaining the maximum dump angle of

50° . It can also

accommodate flatbeds up to 24-foot in length. The Slider65 is replacing the previous

190-24-50 and 190-24-60 Slider models.

The Slider65 features an adjustable hook height of either 54 inches or 61.75 inches. This

will allow users who may have previously operated a smaller hooklift, recently acquired

bodies with different hook rod heights, or have operated a competitive hooklift, the

opportunity to upgrade their system without having the expense of converting the skids

on the bodies. Another new feature of the Slider65 is the use of the hexagonal jib. Its

geometric shape adds strength, reduces flexing and makes it easier to replace wear

pads. The weight of the Slider65 has been reduced by over 1600 pounds, allowing for a

greater payload.

Other standard features of the Slider65 include stainless steel pins, patented

dump/load interlock system, and DuPont® Imron® 5000 paint, which are also found on

all other Stellar hooklift models.
