NXT18 Hooklift
Featuring next-level design and a best-in-class 7.5″ lost load height, the powerful 18,000-lb-capacity Stellar® NXT18 Hooklift handles 8′ – 14′ bodies for 84″ – 120″ CA chassis. For maximum compatibility and flexibility, the bolt-on body lock system provides universal adjustment for either inside or outside locks.

PrintKey Features
High strength without added weight:
- Z-rail design: The base is pre-drilled to allow for efficient installation on the chassis and to allow body saddles to be installed where needed.
Do more with one truck:
- Dump section: Integrated body lock mounting holes on the dump section eliminate the need to cut off and weld on locks.
- Telescopic jib: Multiplate design provides a lightweight yet sound structure for handling a wide range of body lengths.
- Universal latching system: The industry-leading bolt-on adjustable body locks provide specific adjustment of either inside or outside locks.
- Manual adjustable hook height: Set the hook height to match the lift bar height of a fleet of containers.
Best-in-class load height:
- Compact secondary design: A lost load height of 7.5″ when combined with the dump section creates a double pivot, allowing a lower below-grade hook bar approach. Accommodates down to 4″ subframe heights.
- Wear pad design: Integrated replaceable wear pads for easier serviceability.
Timesaving convenience:
- Lift cylinders: The integrated soft-stop feature brings the body to rest gently on the body saddles, and the speed enhancement system for cylinder extension cuts cycle time by up to 30%.
- Electronic controls: Programmable logic provides precision hook deployment, and the radio remote control transmitter delivers easy, handheld operation control.
- Hydraulic reservoir: The universal mounting bracket lets you place the 8-gallon reservoir where you want it: top mount at the bulkhead or along the chassis frame, or on either side of the unit.
