Benefits That Matter in the Field

Common questions about buying, building, and keeping your truck running.

Install Faster, Load Smarter

The Z-rail base comes pre-drilled for body saddles and universal mounts, meaning quicker installs, easier maintenance, and fewer headaches if you want to reposition parts down the road.

No Fabrication Needed, Fully Adjustable Body Locks

Forget cutting and welding. Stellar’s body latching system lets you move locks easily to match non-standard container layouts. Just unbolt, slide, and re-bolt. Save hours on every setup and eliminate the cost of custom lock refits.

Adjustable Hook Heights = Full Fleet Compatibility

Whether you’ve got multiple containers or inherit different hook bar heights, Stellar’s adjustable hooks make it work.
NXT18: 36–54″ manual adjustment
NXT40 & NXT52: 54–62″ manual or hydraulic adjustment

Faster Cycle Times + Soft Stop for Smooth Operation

The NXT40, NXT52, and NXT68 feature a built-in speed enhancement system that cuts cylinder extension times up to 75% faster, so you can get the body on and off quicker. The soft-stop brings containers to rest without slamming ideal for preserving both your truck and the load.

Compact Design = Easier Access + Lower Approach Angles

Low lost load height: 7.5″ on the NXT18, 10.5″ on NXT40/52. Better hook bar approach on uneven or below-grade surfaces. Integrated wear pads means easier and cheaper service over time.

What Our Customers Say

Read our 86+ reviews on our Google My Business.

I highly recommend Andy and Wayne at First Fleet Truck Sales and want to thank them for building me a custom grapple truck that exceeded every expectation. We requested a very specific build on a black Peterbuilt chassis and Andy made it happen. Along the way we had numerous add-on requests and everything was built exactly as we asked. The guys at First Fleet built us our dream truck and it was even better than we imagined when we picked it up.
