McNeilus ZR Full-Eject Automated Side Loader

[POLIT1963]

Wow! what an awesome truck.

[theangrycrab]

are there any cans like these that can fit on a standard cabover box truck frame>?

This is actually a pretty neat truck, especially when two manufacturers worked together to produce it! The new control console looks fancy, as well as the whole design of the body. I bet there'll be plenty of these on the streets soon.

McNeilus worked with Pendpac to take the great concept of their arm - combined with a full-eject McNeilus body- to the next level. The combination of these two is very smooth, even with a route loaded with snow-coned cans. The follower is also very fast to prevent hopper bridging. All in all, a smooth and simple machine that mechanics and drivers will quickly fall in love with - Jeffry (McNeilus Marketing)

@jeffswert I'm eager to see this truck in person at Waste Expo

[bdmcneilusmsl]

They just added teh pendpac arm. LOL! ?I like it! I like the hopper action!

WOW! This was filmed in El Mirage!

Looks like McNeilus have got a good new truck. I thought that the arm was a Pendpac arm. These arms are superior to the Amrep arms as the are softer on the bin and not as fast when they dump the bin. Also has a Pendulum Packer. Its interesting how it has a pendulum packer, and is also a full-eject truck.

these are the exact same as PendPac arms, they just bought the design of them, and im pretty sure this truck has a typical ram style packer, not a pendelum. otherwise its basically a complete replica of an entire PendPac lol

[JaccobDalton]

Pendpac sold their arm to McNeilus thats why.

[macdonaldjohnstonfan]

Did Pendpac just sell McNeilus some manufacturing rights, while Pendpac still hold the original patenet own the rights to the arm's design?

[JaccobDalton]

Yes correct.

[macdonaldjohnstonfan]

I see what you mean now, the hopper is curved which makes it look like it has a Pendulum Packer. But your right, its just a ram with a follower that looks like a Pendulum, hopefully it can keep up better than the Autoreach packer does. The Autoreach's packer isn't bad all the time, it just seems to be a bit slow and can't cope sometimes.

haha yea, i saw saw the curve shel and thought that for a second aswell, but the fact that there was a follower pannel made no sence to me, then i realized it is a standard ram style packer lol
