Features and Benefits

Full-eject body

Full-eject body reduces chassis wear and simplifies operations, which also reduces exposure to hazards for the operator.

Single sheet hopper wall

Hopper wall designed with a single, thicker sheet of abrasion-resistant steel for improved service life and durability. Using a single sheet also offsets weight added by reinforcing the arm, reducing net vehicle weight and adding strength

Load-sense hydraulics

Load-sense hydraulics offer major fuel cost savings, and electronic proportional controls offer smooth operate-at-idle capability.

McNeilus CODE

McNeilus CODE™ provides simplified CAN-based controls, with superior diagnostics and troubleshooting at your fingertips, plus electronic proportional commercial and residential joysticks

Excalibre cylinders

Up to 80% of hydraulic contaminants can enter through the packing cylinders. McNeilus exclusive Excalibre™ cylinders help prevent hydraulic contamination with a patented tool steel shaver and field-proven seal that significantly minimize problem-causing debris

Reinforced arm

Reinforcement along the entire length of the ZR arm increases the expected service life and improves the durability of the arm structure by helping distribute forces more evenly.

Body mounted arm

Arm grabber assembly picks up cans from 30 to 110 gallons. Arm is mounted to the body rather than to the chassis, reducing stress on the vehicle frame
