McNeilus Tag Axle Rear Loader

Allows you to go where the job demands.

The Tag Axle Rear Loader, unique for its tag axle integrated into the tailgate, enhances carrying capacity in weight-restricted zones and improves weight distribution. This design not only allows for optimal payloads compliant with roadway laws but also ensures the axle lifts with the tailgate during unloading, preventing debris interference. Its unrivaled configuration guarantees durability and efficiency for demanding jobs.
