FRONT LOADERS

McNeilus front loaders are built to take care of business, whether it’s demanding commercial routes or dense residential neighborhoods. We offer options in the front loader product line to meet what you need — from the heavy duty Atlantic Series Front Loader® to the lighter weight Meridian™ Front Loader.

All McNeilus front loaders come standard with Excalibre™ packing cylinders that feature a patented tool steel shaver and nitrided rods, helping to resist wear and corrosion and drastically reducing hydraulic contamination. Other features and options include the McNeilus CODE™ controls system that puts superior truck diagnostics and troubleshooting at your fingertips.

Both front loader products offer a clean headframe that boosts serviceability and performance, and keeps hydraulic and electrical components better protected.

  • Clear headframe means hydraulic and electrical components are kept away from hot exhaust and refuse debris.
  • Hydraulics are mounted in side-of-body enclosures rather than on the headframe for easier access and serviceability.
  • Flat body and hopper floor design provide support for best-in-class carrying capacity.
  • Non-sliding tailgate provides less wear on the tailgate seal, and easier-to-deploy tailgate props that offer improved access.
  • Arm and fork position sensors improve the operator experience and offer greater control.
