What is a hooklift truck?

A Stellar Hooklift Truck, sometimes called a hook loader, is a heavy-duty chassis with a hydraulic hook that attaches to different container bodies for placement, hauling and removal. It allows a single operator to handle a wide range of jobs per day with just one truck by changing the body and moving on to the next task. Because a Stellar Hooklift eliminates the need for a fleet of specialized trucks, companies are able to reduce capital investment as well as lower operational and maintenance costs.

What is a roll-off truck?

A cable hoist roll-off truck is sometimes referred to as a cable roll-off or roll-off hoist truck because it uses reeving cylinders and cable to pull containers, dumpsters and other bodies onto a truck bed or roll them off of the bed and into position where needed.

What is a dumpster hauler?

A dumpster hauler truck, sometimes called a dumpster delivery truck or simply a dumpster hauler, is used to haul, place and pick up waste, recycling and scrap dumpsters. A mechanism on the truck can lift the dumpster containers onto the truck for hauling and can also place them into position where needed. All Stellar Dumpster Hauler Trucks are able to handle both front-loading and rear-loading containers. Some models, like the Stellar ECCR Dumpster Hauler Truck, can provide extended reach as well as rotate the containers for ease of placement and dumping.

Stellar is extremely safe. I’ve never had any of the dumpsters come off the truck or had any incorrect drops or picks with it. It’s super strong so we’re able to keep our drivers in the truck 90% of the time."
