AUTOREACH® AUTOMATED SIDE LOADER

AUTOREACH® SIDE LOADER

Experience unmatched strength with the McNeilus AutoReach® Automated Side Loader, designed to be one of the most powerful side loaders in the industry. With an impressive arm lift capacity of 2,000 pounds, it stands out as the only side loader capable of reaching both side-to-side and outward.

The innovative design of the AutoReach arm allows it to articulate in an 8-foot arc, making it easier to navigate around obstacles during collection. Its grabber assembly is versatile enough to handle cans ranging from 30 to 110 gallons, with optional extended fingers available for grasping cans up to 300 gallons.

In addition to its impressive capabilities, the AutoReach enables all functions to be operated at idle speed, minimizing noise levels and reducing fuel consumption for a more efficient operation.
