12 Flex36 Owner’s Manual
Stellar Flex36 Model 60-8 Hydraulic Hooklift Specifications
L
ifting Capacity: Check table 1.1 for variable lifting capabilities.
C
ontainer Length: 8-foot through 9-foot. Longer bodies up to 10-feet may be accommodated if full dump angle is not required (may require
s
pecial body-mounted or extendable truck-mounted bumper and additional latches to meet the Federal Motor Carrier
S
afety Administration (FMCSA) Rear End Protection regulation 393.86 and Securing Hooklift Containers regulation 393.134).
B
ody length does not include A-frame.
Maximum Dump Angle: 54°
Operating Pressure: See table 1.1 in Chapter 6: Installation for variable pressure settings.
Weight of Hooklift: Hooklift weight not to exceed 1,275 pounds.
Height of Hooklift: Hooklift height not to exceed 5.5" as measured from top of truck frame to top of hooklift rollers.
Hook Height: 35.63-inches from bottom of skid rails to bottom of hook bar. Hooklift must be able to pick up body
10-inches below grade, when mounted on a 34” truck frame height.
Hydraulic Pump: Direct-coupled high-pressure gear pump.
Hydraulic Contro
l Valve: Hydraulic valve mounted directly onto the oil reservoir with power beyond capabilities.
C
ontrols: D
ual manual levers with sealed cable actuators mounted in the truck cab to allow full feathering of all hooklift functions.
Tilting Hook Assembly: Hooklift must have pivoting type front tilt section (jib) to provide a low degree loading/unloading angle and also to provide
a wider stance for side to side stability.
Tilt Cylinder: Cylinder must be double acting (4” Bore x 2” Rod x 17” Stroke) and include dual integral pilot-operated counterbalance
valves to prevent cylinder collapse in case of hose failure. Cylinder must be fully retracted when in the transport mode to
prevent exposure of cylinder rod to corrosive road salts.
Tilt Section Operation: Hooklift must include a hydraulic lock-out device to prevent operation of the tilt section while hooklift is in the dumping
mode.
Lift/Dump Cylinder: Cylinder must be double acting and include dual pilot-operated counterbalance valves to prevent cylinder movement in
case of pressure loss.
Dump/Tilt Interlock: Dumping must be accomplished through a rear pivot. Tilt and lift sections must lock into a rigid full length 25” wide frame to
provide support for the container while in the dump mode. These sections form this frame without the use of mechanical
latches which rely on gravity, springs, or container/body mounted latches. The system must be protected from out of
sequence operation.
Rear Body Hold-downs: Dual fixed-position hold down devices mounted to the dump frame to secure the body to the hooklift through all ranges of
the dump mode. This must be accomplished without the use of steel springs and/or hydraulic/air cylinders.
Rear Dump Hinge Pin: 2-inch diameter type 304 or 17-4 stainless steel minimum.
Pins:
All pins to be type 304 or 17-4 stainless steel.
Bushings:
All bushings to be of the DX pr
e-lubricated variety, used with grease fittings. Bronze bushings not allowed due to survivability
in heavy containment and corrosive environments.
Hoses & Hyd. Fittings: All hoses and fittings are to be SAE; metrics are not to be allowed. O-ring face seal fittings to be utilized wherever possible.
Secur
ed steel hydraulic tubing to be used whenever possible.
Electrical: All electrical wiring to be protected by full length steel conduit fastened into the hooklift framework.
Technical Documentation: All hooklifts shall come with documentation on operation, maintenance, safety and a parts manual.
Regulations: Hooklift shall be designed and manufactured to all local, state and federal regulations.
Origin of Manufacture: Hooklift to be designed and manufactured in the United States of America.
