• Visually inspect the truck and look for any potential issues. For example: Clearance
problems, cross members extending too high, insufficient room in front of the hooklift for
tarpers, exhaust manifolds, etc., or insufficient room in the rear to allow for bumper se-
lection. Note: Stellar Industries recommends allowing 12” behind the start of clear truck
frame for installation of a tarping system.
• Be sure to square the hooklift on the truck frame to allow for proper measurement. The
front of the hooklift needs to be at least 2.50” behind the cab or any equipment mount-
ed behind the cab.
Step 1: Set the hooklift onto the truck frame.
Every hooklift installation is unique. However, certain guidelines exist that apply to every
model. Listed below is a general set of chronlological steps that may be followed when
installing a Stellar Hooklift. If any questions arise during the installation process, feel free to
contact your local dealer or Stellar Customer Service at 800-321-3741.
