Several new products have been launched by Stellar Industries in recent months, including a loader crane and a series of hooklifts. The EC2K loader crane (right), designed for mounting on the rear corner of a service truck, has a 900kg/m rating and a maximum lift capacity of 907kg on two parts of line. It features an electric winch with a removable tethered remote control cable and a hand-operated brake for controlled rotation and stowage. The boom extends from a 1.2m stowed length to 2.1m maximum reach.
The single pivot hydraulic hooklift loaders, called Stellar Xchange Hooklifts (below), are available in capacity sizes 4t (9,000lb), 6t (13,000lb) and 9t (20,000lb). Stellar claims that they have the lowest weight to lifting capacity ratio in the industry. Stellar’s standard hooklifts have two pivots. These single pivot models cost less and are lighter.
