The Stellar booth will feature two proven equipment solutions that have set industry standards for reliability, versatility and performance:

Stellar® NXT18 Hooklift
The NXT18 Hooklift redefines versatility and performance, making it an ideal solution for rental businesses managing multiple tasks, from hauling containers to transporting equipment. With its impressive 18,000-lb lifting capacity and class-leading 7.5″ lost load height, the NXT18 is engineered to maximize efficiency on the jobsite.
Designed for chassis with 84″ to 120″ CA lengths, the NXT18 accommodates 8′ to 14′ bodies with ease, offering rental operators unmatched adaptability. Whether it’s delivering equipment and supplies, transporting or collecting debris, or supporting construction or larger project tasks, the NXT18 provides seamless transitions between applications.
Key features of the NXT18 Hooklift include:
- Radio remote controls: Enhance operator precision and efficiency, enabling streamlined loading and unloading.
- Bolt-on body lock system: Universal adjustment for both inside and outside locks, ensuring compatibility with a wide variety of body types.
- Durable design: Built to withstand heavy-duty tasks while requiring minimal maintenance.
The NXT18 is the go-to solution for rental businesses looking to maximize uptime, streamline operations and enhance productivity.

Stellar TMAX 16K Mechanic Truck Equipped with EC3200 Service Crane
The TMAX 16K Aluminum Mechanic Truck is built to deliver uncompromising performance for rental businesses needing reliable field service solutions. Its lightweight yet durable aluminum body resists corrosion and increases payload capacity, making it a long-term asset for demanding environments. The body’s robust construction, along with Stellar’s precision engineering, ensures it withstands heavy workloads while reducing maintenance costs.
The integrated EC3200 Electric Service Crane offers a 3,200-lb lifting capacity with a 15′ horizontal reach, perfect for lifting heavy components like engines, attachments and repair tools. The crane’s electric operation eliminates the need for hydraulic pumps, significantly reducing noise levels and fuel consumption. This makes the EC3200 an eco-friendly and efficient choice for field repairs, especially in urban or noise-restricted environments. What’s more, EC3200 Electric Service Cranes are available in both steel and aluminum. The aluminum model that will be on display at The ARA Show is 230 lbs lighter, making it a great choice for increasing payload on a mechanic truck.
Additional features of the TMAX 16K Mechanic Truck include:
- Integrated tool storage compartments for easy access to equipment
- Stellar’s torq-isolator crane support system for stability during lifting
- LED lighting to improve visibility in low-light conditions
