McNeilus Side Loader Refuse Trucks:
When You Need Versatility

McNeilus side loaders, both automated and manual, are engineered to tackle the challenges of almost any residential route, offering the flexibility needed to manage demanding conditions and route obstacles. Our side loader lineup includes versatile options — from Zero Radius™ and AutoReach® models, featuring innovative arm designs for efficient and effective collection, to the adaptable Manual/Automated side loader, which functions both as an automated loader with an easy-to-operate arm and as a manual loader for collecting extra items often encountered on residential routes.

All McNeilus side loaders are equipped with Excalibre™ packing cylinders, exclusive to McNeilus, that incorporate a patented tool steel shaver and nitrided rods for excellent wear resistance, corrosion protection, and minimal hydraulic contamination. This side loader range also features an advanced paint process, delivering exceptional coverage and durability for a lasting finish. The McNeilus CODE™ controls system, available with the Zero Radius (ZR) Side Loader, provides advanced truck diagnostics and troubleshooting at the operator’s fingertips, and the Manual/Automated Side Loader has the option to add a cart tipper for simpler manual loading.

The ZR Side Loader also includes recent upgrades to enhance serviceability, extend arm lifespan, improve performance, and reduce vehicle weight. The AutoReach is among the strongest side loaders available, with an arm capable of lifting up to 2,000 pounds, while the Manual/Automated option can be configured exclusively for manual loading if preferred.
