McNeilus offers a range of automated and manual side loaders designed to meet diverse residential collection needs. Our product line includes the Zero Radius™ and AutoReach® side loaders, which provide effective and efficient collection through innovative arm designs. Additionally, the Manual/Automated side loader offers dual functionality, operating both as an automated side loader with an easy-to-use arm and as a manual side loader for handling additional items.

All McNeilus side loaders feature exclusive Excalibre™ packing cylinders, designed with patented tool steel shavers and nitrided rods to resist wear and reduce hydraulic contamination. Enhanced with an advanced paint process for durability, these loaders also include the McNeilus CODE™ controls system for superior diagnostics. The AutoReach boasts a 2,000-pound arm lift capacity, and the Manual/Automated model can be configured as a purely manual side loader if needed.

The Zero Radius™ Automated Side Loader features an innovative arm that reaches out rather than swings, enabling efficient operation in narrow streets and tight spaces, with an optional 12-foot extended reach for added versatility.
Equipped with the McNeilus CODE™ system, the Zero Radius™ provides comprehensive diagnostics through simplified CAN-based controls, a smart fuse panel, and pre-trip reminders.
The AutoReach® Automated Side Loader boasts a 2,000-pound arm lift capacity and unique side-to-side articulation within an 8-foot arc, allowing it to manage obstacles and handle cans from 30 to 300 gallons.
The Manual/Automated Side Loader offers dual functionality with an automated arm for standard collection and a manual mechanism for additional items, plus an optional cart tipper for both-side collection.

Zero Radius™ Automated Side Loader

The McNeilus Zero Radius™ Automated Side Loader is engineered to overcome common collection obstacles such as narrow streets and clearance issues.

With an optional 12-foot extended reach, it easily navigates cul-de-sacs and obstacles like parked cars. The vehicle features the McNeilus CODE™ system, offering comprehensive diagnostics through simplified CAN-based controls, an integrated smart fuse panel, pre-trip reminders, and status messages. This advanced design ensures versatility and efficiency on even the densest routes.

AutoReach® Automated Side Loader

The AutoReach® Automated Side Loader is one of the industry's most powerful, with an arm lift capacity of 2,000 pounds. Unique to the AutoReach is its ability to articulate side-to-side within an 8-foot arc, facilitating the management of obstacles. It can handle cans ranging from 30 to 300 gallons, thanks to its optional extended fingers. Additionally, all functions can be operated at idle speed, minimizing noise and reducing fuel consumption.

Manual/Automated Side Loader

The McNeilus Manual/Automated (MA) Side Loader offers exceptional flexibility with its combination of an automated arm and manual loading mechanism. It efficiently handles residential cans and allows for manual disposal of additional items thanks to its low-height hopper sill. An optional cart tipper enables collection from both sides of the street. This versatile truck can also be ordered as a strictly manual side loader, ideal for single-man or recycling routes.
