The Stellar 12628 features the Stellar CDT (Crane Dynamics Technology) control system. The 77,800 ft-lb crane has a maximum all hydraulic reach of 28’4” with a 12,000 pound lift capacity at 6’6” in boost mode.
The Stellar model 12628 features a hexagonal boom design for reduced flex and increased strength, variable speed, multi-function radio remote control equipped with the Stellar CDT system as a standard feature.
The Stellar CDT system incorporates two-way communications and a feedback feature, incorporated into the handheld controller. The system automatically, through visual and sensory signals, indicates to the operator when the load being transported is increasing the load moment of the crane. The signals are transmitted from the Stellar handheld controller using color-coded LED lights are varying cyclical vibrations.
The system also allows operators who encounter overload situations to operate through, by increasing crane capacity to 118% for a short period of time. The 12628 also incorporates a refined safety system; if a capacity monitoring device fails to operate correctly, the crane enters the safe mode. Operation can then continue at a reduced speed until the safety device is repaired, replaced, or proper working order is resumed.
Product manager, bodies and cranes, Tim Davison, said: “The 12628 and its recent updates fit nicely into our product line-up. We have a 10,000 lb and 14,000 lb crane that both offer market-leading features. However, many customers wanted something larger than our 10628 but not quite as large as the 14528, so the 12628 fits the growing needs of many customers.”
Stellar has also designed a new mechanic truck body to accommodate this new 77,800 ft-lb crane: the Stellar TMax2. The body of the Stellar TMax2, part of the new TMax series, utilizes the same Torsion box understructure, the Torq-Isolator crane compartment and E-coat primer as standard Stellar bodies. Compartments are up to 60” high and 22” deep, with double door panel doors and stainless steel hinges to accommodate the Stellar CDT Equipped cranes when in boost mode.
Stellar Industries Inc, was founded in 1990, and remains an employee owned an operated firm, with products including forklifts, telescopic cranes, articulating cranes and hydraulic truck mounted equipment.
