Stellar Industries’ Aluminum Mechanic Truck Combines Crane Compatibility with Customizable Features
Stellar Industries brought several products to the World of Concrete and to last week’s American Rental Association show. At the World of Concrete, Stellar showed its TMAX 1-11 Aluminum Mechanic Truck, which combines extensive crane compatibility and customizable features. The vehicle offers increased payload capacity and fuel efficiency. Its aluminum construction not only reduces weight but also combats corrosion, ensuring a longer operational lifespan.
Stellar’s torq-isolator crane support design isolates the crane compartment from the rest of the side pack. This allows the lifting stresses to be channeled through stabilizers and a robust box-type subframe, safeguarding compartment doors and enhancing overall structural integrity.
Adaptability is key, and the TMAX 1-11 delivers with an aluminum extruded top boasting drill-free mounting rails. This feature facilitates adding a diverse range of mechanic service truck accessories, giving users the flexibility to tailor the truck to their specific needs and enhance its capabilities as their requirements change.
The TMAX 1-11's double-panel 1/8-inch aluminum tailgate, complete with hinged arm brackets, presents a robust working surface for enhanced productivity. Compartment options include 250-pound-capacity, adjustable divider shelves constructed from spangled galvanized steel and drawer sets, both offering practical storage solutions for various tools and equipment.
A durable undercoating, featuring a petroleum base material, shields the TMAX 1-11 from corrosion and road debris, ensuring its longevity and reliability in diverse environments.
The TMAX 1-11 Mechanic Truck is configured to accommodate Stellar hydraulic service cranes, including the Stellar 8630 Hydraulic Service Crane. The 8630 crane features 8,600-pound capacity and 30 feet of reach. The crane’s boom design strikes the perfect balance between weight reduction and unwavering strength, while the compact boom tip extends into tight spaces. Users can elevate their control with the CDTpro Control System with Range Finder technology, offering precision over their operations.
