ZERO RADIUSTM AUTOMATED SIDE LOADER

ZERO RADIUS SIDE LOADER

Navigating daily collection routes can present numerous challenges, from narrow streets and alleyways to clearance issues around containers. Overcome these obstacles with the Zero Radius™ Automated Side Loader.

This state-of-the-art refuse truck features an innovative zero-radius operation, allowing the arm to reach rather than swing out, eliminating the need for wide clearances when collecting cans. With an optional 12-foot extended reach, it’s even easier to maneuver around cul-de-sacs and obstacles like parked cars. This field-proven arm is designed to tackle even the densest routes with ease.

Additional advancements include the CODE™ system, which utilizes simplified CAN-based controls to provide comprehensive vehicle diagnostics right at your fingertips. The system also features an integrated smart fuse panel, reduced hardware requirements, pre-trip reminders, status messages, and much more!
