Factory Built by Stellar Industries — The Non-CDL Setup That Doesn't Compromise
This truck was upfitted at Stellar Industries' factory — one of the most respected names in vocational service truck equipment. That means every component was installed, integrated, and tested as a complete system before it ever left the factory floor. No field modifications, no piecemeal additions, no compatibility questions.
At 26,000 GVW the T280 keeps you under CDL while delivering the same Stellar 12630 crane and 46P compressor spec found on full commercial service trucks. That means 12,000 lb lift capacity, 30 ft of hydraulic reach, and continuous air tool capability — without CDL compliance overhead, without the higher operating cost of a heavier chassis, and without the maneuverability limitations that come with a larger platform.
More drivers can legally operate it. Insurance is typically lower. On tight job sites, residential areas, and urban routes, the T280 goes places a 33,000 GVW truck can't.
This is the right truck for fleet maintenance operations needing field service capability without CDL requirements, independent mobile diesel technicians ready to move up from a pickup-based setup, construction and utility companies adding a service unit without adding CDL drivers, and municipalities needing capable field service on a non-CDL platform.
A Stellar Industries factory upfit, available now through Smith Truck Co in Rosebush, Michigan. Call, message, or stop in to walk through the full spec.
