• When positioning mounts to frame, tie-down castings are bolted to the underside of
each tie down plate located on the outside of the main rails of the base. The tie-down
plate closest to the front of the base requires one mount on each side of the pin. This
is the only time two tie down castings are required per a single tie-down plate. The tie-
down plates are designed with multiple slots to offer more flexibility in mounting locations.
Additional holes may not be added to the tie-down plates.
• Using the tie-down castings as a guide, drill 11/16” holes through the truck frame as
shown.
Step 2: Drill mounting holes.
• 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 Slider 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 Slider 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. Note: On some Slider models, the jib may extend beyond the front
of the base.
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.
