Stellar Flex Model 84-10 Hydraulic Hooklift Specifications
Lifting Capacity: Check table 1.1 for variable lifting capabilities.
Container Length: 10-foot through 12-foot. Longer bodies up to 13-feet may be accommodated if full dump angle is not
required (may require special body-mounted or extendable truck-mounted bumper and additional latches
to meet the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) Rear End Protection regulation 393.86
and Securing Hooklift Containers regulation 393.134). Body length does not include A-frame.
Maximum Dump Angle: 53°
Operating Pressure: See table 1.1 in Chapter 6: Installation for variable pressure settings.
Weight of Hooklift: Hooklift weight not to exceed 1,360 pounds.
Height of Hooklift: Hooklift height not to exceed 5.5" as measured from top of truck frame to top of hooklift rollers.
Hook Height: 35.63-inches from bottom of skid rails to bottom of hook bar. Hooklift must be able to pick up body
10-inches below grade, when mounted on a 36” truck frame height.
Hydraulic Pump: Direct-coupled high-pressure gear pump.
Hydraulic Control Valve: Hydraulic valve mounted directly onto the oil reservoir with power beyond capabilities.
Controls: Dual manual levers with sealed cable actuators mounted in the truck cab to allow full feathering of all
hooklift functions.
Tilting Hook Assembly: Hooklift must have pivoting type front tilt section (jib) to provide a low degree loading/unloading angle
and also to provide a wider stance for side to side stability.
Tilt Cylinder: Cylinder must be double acting (4” Bore x 2” Rod x 17” Stroke) and include dual integral pilot-operated
counterbalance valves to prevent cylinder collapse in case of hose failure. Cylinder must be fully retract-
ed when in the transport mode to prevent exposure of cylinder rod to corrosive road salts.
Tilt Section Operation: Hooklift must include a hydraulic lock-out device to prevent operation of the tilt section
while hooklift is in the dumping mode.
Lift/Dump Cylinder: Cylinder must be double acting and include dual pilot-operated counterbalance valves to prevent cylin-
der movement in case of pressure loss.
Dump/Tilt Interlock: Dumping must be accomplished through a rear pivot. Tilt and lift sections must lock
into a rigid full length 25” wide frame to provide support for the container while in the dump mode.
These sections form this frame without the use of mechanical latches which rely on gravity, springs, or
container/body mounted latches. The system must be protected from out of sequence operation.
Rear Body Hold-downs: Dual fixed-position hold down devices mounted to the dump frame to secure the body to the hooklift
through all ranges of the dump mode. This must be accomplished without the use of steel springs
and/or hydraulic/air cylinders.
Rear Dump Hinge Pin: 2-inch diameter type 304 or 17-4 stainless steel minimum.
Pins: All pins to be type 304 or 17-4 stainless steel.
Bushings: All bushings to be of the DX pre-lubricated variety, used with grease fittings. Bronze bushings not
allowed due to survivability in heavy containment and corrosive environments.
Hoses & Hyd. Fittings: All hoses and fittings are to be SAE; metrics are not to be allowed. O-ring face seal fittings to be utilized
wherever possible. Secured steel hydraulic tubing to be used whenever possible.
Electrical: All electrical wiring to be protected by full length steel conduit fastened into the hooklift framework.
Technical Documentation: All hooklifts shall come with documentation on operation, maintenance, safety and a parts manual.
Regulations: Hooklift shall be designed and manufactured to all local, state and federal regulations.
Origin of Manufacture: Hooklift to be designed and manufactured in the United States of America.
