Stellar Industries, a 100% employee-owned and -operated manufacturer of high-quality work trucks, trailers and service truck and van accessories, showcased its versatile NXT Series Hooklift at Equip Expo 2026.
In booth #30081, show attendees saw firsthand the NXT24M Hooklift. Built for strength and multi-job versatility, the NXT24 gives landscape contractors a reliable, single-truck solution for transporting equipment and materials. Designed to load, unload and dump interchangeable truck bodies efficiently, the NXT Series enables operators to switch between flatbeds, drop-side bodies, debris dumpsters and storage containers in minutes.
Featuring a best-in-class lost load height across all models, the NXT Series delivers a lower hook bar approach, ensuring smoother loading of equipment and a lower center of gravity during transport. The industry-leading universal body latching system allows locks to be repositioned easily without cutting or rewelding, giving landscape businesses the freedom to utilize bodies of varying sizes and capacities across a single chassis.
With a high-strength Z-rail design, telescopic jib construction and adjustable hook height options, the NXT Series is engineered for seasonal demands and long-term durability. Integrated soft-stop technology, flexible hydraulic reservoir mounting and multiple control options further enhance efficiency and operator convenience, making the NXT Series a dependable solution for demanding jobsite applications.
A variety of control options allow the operator to choose the control system that fits the job. Options include handheld wireless remote controls, ergonomic joystick controls or traditional lever setups, available with electric, air or cable-actuated valve bodies. For added versatility, Stellar offers Short (S), Medium (M) and Long (L) options for select models. These additional options provide customizable container lengths and hook heights for diverse needs.
