MCNEILUS SIDE LOADERS
SIDE LOADERS
McNeilus automated and manual side loaders exceed expectations when you need a truck that’s flexible enough to handle the demands and obstacles of almost any kind of residential route.
Offering a range of vehicle options in the side loader product line to meet what you need — from Zero Radius™ and AutoReach® side loaders that offer effective, efficient collection with their unique arm designs, to the flexible Manual/Automated side loader that can be used simultaneously as an automated side loader, with an easy-to-operate arm, and a manual side loader for throwing in the “extras” often found along many residential routes.
All McNeilus side loaders come standard with McNeilus-exclusive 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 of the side loader line include an advanced paint process that provides superior coverage and quality for a longer-lasting and more durable finish. The McNeilus CODE™ controls system available on the Zero Radius (ZR) Side Loader that puts superior truck diagnostics and troubleshooting at your fingertips, as well as the option to add a cart tipper to the Manual/Automated Side Loader for easier manual loading.
The ZR Side Loader also offers several new enhancements that improve serviceability, boost arm performance and service life, and reduce overall vehicle weight. The AutoReach is one of the strongest side loaders in the industry with an arm lift capacity of up to 2,000 pounds, and the Manual/Automated can also be ordered as a strictly manual side loader.
ZERO RADIUS SIDE LOADER
There can be a lot of obstacles to handle on a daily collection route: narrow streets and alleyways, clearance issues around containers. Get over these hurdles with the McNeilus Zero Radius™ Automated Side Loader.
This advanced refuse truck offers an innovative, yet simple, zero radius operation. The arm reaches rather than swings out, so you don’t need a wide clearance to grab cans. With optional 12-foot extended reach, it’s even easier to navigate cul-de-sacs and obstructions such as parked cars. This field-proven arm can also handle some of the densest routes.
Other advances include the McNeilus CODE™ system. These simplified CAN-based controls provide complete vehicle diagnostics at your fingertips. Plus, there’s an integrated smart fuse panel, reduced hardware requirements, pre-trip reminders, status messages and more!
Get up close with one of the strongest side loaders in the industry. The AutoReach® Automated Side Loader is equipped with an arm lift capacity of 2,000 pounds. It’s also the only side loader in the industry that can reach side-to-side, as well as out.
The innovative design of the AutoReach arm enables it to articulate side-to-side in an 8-foot arc, making obstacles easier to manage. The arm’s grabber assembly can easily grasp cans from 30 to 110 gallons and optional extended fingers can handle cans up to 300 gallons.
To add to the benefits of this unique side loader, all functions can be operated at idle speed, keeping noise at a minimum and fuel consumption down.
MANUAL/AUTOMATED SIDE LOADER
Collection routes can be unpredictable when it comes to what’s sitting next to the curb. The McNeilus Manual/Automated (MA) Side Loader takes out some of the guesswork with an automated arm plus a manual loading mechanism that makes it the most flexible refuse truck on the market.
The simple-to-operate arm handles residential cans efficiently. The low-height hopper sill also allows the operator to manually throw in the “little extras” that often come with residential trash collection routes. And an optional cart tipper lets you collect from both sides of the street.
This versatile vehicle can also be ordered without the arm as a strictly manual side loader. The drop frame and lower hopper sill make it ideal for single-man routes or recycling routes, allowing the operator to easily and efficiently dump totes.
