Stellar Flex Hooklift Nomenclature

HOOKLIFT

BASE

DUMP

SECONDARY

TILT

The Stellar Flex is a hydraulic, body-loading device when mounted on a truck chassis.

When mounted, the Stellar Flex can handle a variety of bodies ranging from flatbeds to

recycling containers to dump bodies.

Two independently controlled cylinders operate all the functions of the Stellar Flex. By

varying the cylinder operation, the Stellar Flex can be used to dump or unload a body.

The Stellar Flex consists of four basic parts: The base, dump, secondary, and tilt sections.

Familiarize yourself with the various components of this hooklift and the names of those

components. Knowing the proper terminology is necessary to get full benefit from this

manual
