Step 5: Install tarper tower (If applicable).
Step 4: Install tie-downs.
Step 2: Drill mounting holes.
Step 3: Install bumper.
Step 1: Set the hooklift onto the truck frame.
a. Visually inspect the truck and look for any potential issues. For example: Clearance prob-
lems, cross members extending too high, insufficient room in front of the Slider for tarpers,
exhaust manifolds, etc., or insufficient room in the rear to allow for bumper selection. Note:
Stellar Industries recommends allowing 12” behind the start of clear truck frame for installation
of a tarping system.
b. Be sure to square the Slider on the truck frame to allow for proper measurement. The front of
the hooklift needs to be at least 2.50” behind the cab or any equipment mounted behind
the cab. Note: On some Slider models, the jib may extend beyond the front of the base.
a. See NHTSA (National Highway Truck Saftey
Administration) Regulations for acceptable
placement.
b. Modify the truck frame as necessary so that
it ends 2” from the rear of the hooklift.
Note: See Mounting Kit Drawing PN 54848 on next page.
a. When positioning mounts to frame, tie-down casting are bolted to the underside of each tie
down plate located on the outside of the main rails of the base. The tie-down plate closest
to the front of the base requires one mount on each side of the pin. This is the only time two
tie down castings are required per a single tie-down plate. The tie-down plates are designed
with multiple slots to offer more flexibility in mounting locations. Additional holes may not be
added to the tie-down plates.
b. Using the tie-down castings as a guide, drill an 11/16” hole through the truck frame.
Note: See torque chart at beginning of chapter.
See brand specific installation instructions.
Every hooklift installation is unique. However, certain guidelines exist that apply to every
model. Listed below is a general set of chronlological steps that may be followed when
installing a Stellar Hooklift. If any questions arise during the installation process, feel free to
