Stellar Industries Introduces 2000-pound Capacity X-Tra-Lift

Stellar Industries, Inc. has announced the release of the X-Tra-Lift 2000, a 2000-pound (907 kg) capacity version of the Stellar X-Tra-Lift Pro. This new model is the result of market research prompted by multiple customer requests.

"We've had countless requests from interested customers to build a lift that could handle more capacity," says Gary Bomstad, director of New Product Development. "The new X-Tra-lift now has the capabilities to handle a lot more payload, such as two vending machines, which was one of our most frequent requests," adds Mr. Bomstad.

The X-Tra-Lift 2000 is an electrically controlled, hydraulic lifting system that is designed for one-ton pick-ups and one-ton trucks with utility bodies. The lifting equipment operates parallel to the ground, keeping the load level at all times. It is stable throughout the entire cycle, making it easy to load from various heights, such as a loading dock.

This innovative system has virtually hundreds of different uses from recreational to commercial. With the increased capacity, a user can easily load, transport and unload various types of small construction equipment and more! Should the operator not need the use of the X-Tra-Lift, the carrier can quickly detach from the lifting unit to allow the operator to use the existing load bed without any restrictions.

"Stellar is anxious to penetrate the various markets where the X-Tra-Lift can add benefit," says Gary Bomstad. "With increased payload, and the benefits of having a safer means of which to transport large, heavy items, it just makes good business sense for a lot of companies to incorporate an X-Tra-Lift into their daily operations," concludes Mr. Bomstad.

Stellar Industries, Inc., in cooperation with Rinspeed Design of Switzerland, designed, patented, and currently manufacture the X-Tra-Lift loading system for full-size pick-up trucks.

Rinspeed Design has been in business since the late-seventies. It is involved in car conversions and manufacturing, and prototypes and limited series. Rinspeed is under the direction of creative mastermind Frank M. Rinderknecht. Rinspeed is the original creator and designer of the X-Tra-Lift concept.
