The Stellar TMAX 1-11 aluminum mechanic truck combines extensive crane compatibility, customizable features and unparalleled quality.
This vehicle has been engineered with precision, utilizing cutting-edge materials to create a powerhouse that outperforms its counterparts. With its unmatched design and incredible capabilities, the TMAX 1-11 sets new standards in the world of mechanic service trucks, the manufacturer said.
Weighing an average of over 800 lbs. lighter than comparable steel-bodied trucks, the TMAX 1-11 offers increased payload capacity and enhanced 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, the manufacturer said.
Adaptability is key, and the TMAX 1-11 delivers with an aluminum extruded top boasting drill-free mounting rails. This feature makes adding a diverse range of mechanic service truck accessories effortless, 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 in. aluminum tailgate, complete with hinged arm brackets, presents a robust working surface for enhanced productivity. Compartment options include 250-lb.-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.
Additional features:
In addition, the TMAX 1-11 mechanic truck is expertly configured to seamlessly accommodate Stellar Hydraulic Service Cranes, including the Stellar 8630 Hydraulic Service Crane. The 8630 crane boasts 8,600-lb. capacity and a 30 ft. of reach.
The crane's distinctive boom design strikes the perfect balance between weight reduction and unwavering strength, while the compact boom tip effortlessly extends into tight spaces, the manufacturer said. What's more, users can elevate their control with the CDTpro Control System with Range Finder technology.
Users also can add a Stellar lube skid to their TMAX 1-11. A lube skid reduces downtime and saves money by letting users perform lube services in the field as an affordable alternative to a dedicated lube truck. Mobile and permanent lube skid options are available, along with a range of new and waste oil tank capacities.
Finally, adding a Stellar air compressor to the TMAX 1-11 gives users the power to complete a wide variety of jobs out in the field — quickly, effectively and efficiently. For instance, the Stellar 40P Single-Stage Air Compressor is a lightweight, hydraulically driven, reciprocating compressor that pairs aluminum and cast steel to control weight while producing a maximum output of 40 cfm and up to 150 psi air pressure.
