At Allegiance Refuse, we offer a full range of McNeilus automated and manual side loaders designed to handle the real-world demands of today’s residential routes. These trucks deliver the flexibility, durability, and performance your fleet needs—no matter the neighborhood layout or collection challenge.
From the Zero Radius™ (ZR) and AutoReach® side loaders—known for their efficient arm designs and fast, precise operation—to the Manual/Automated Side Loader that gives operators the freedom to switch between automated arm control and manual loading on the fly, McNeilus side loaders are built to adapt. Whether you’re collecting curbside or tackling those extra stops, there’s a McNeilus side loader to fit the job.
Every model comes standard with McNeilus-exclusive Excalibre™ packing cylinders, featuring a patented tool steel shaver and nitrided rods that resist wear, corrosion, and hydraulic contamination. The result? Longer service life, less maintenance, and lower total cost of ownership.
McNeilus also goes the extra mile with an advanced paint process for superior finish durability and protection against the elements. The McNeilus CODE™ controls system, available on the Zero Radius Side Loader, puts truck diagnostics and troubleshooting right at your fingertips—making it easier to keep your fleet running at peak efficiency. Operators can even add a cart tipper to the Manual/Automated Side Loader for easier manual collection when needed.
The ZR Side Loader now includes new enhancements that improve serviceability, extend arm life, and reduce vehicle weight—helping your crews cover more ground with less downtime. The AutoReach® stands out as one of the strongest in the industry, with an impressive 2,000-lb arm lift capacity, while the Manual/Automated Side Loader can also be ordered as a dedicated manual unit for operations that prefer hands-on collection.
At Allegiance Refuse, we’ll help you choose the right McNeilus side loader for your routes and keep it performing at its best with expert parts, service, and support—so your fleet can keep delivering day after day.
Zero Radius Automated Side Loader
When routes get tight, the McNeilus Zero Radius™ Automated Side Loader helps you get the job done with ease. Designed for narrow streets, alleyways, and tight clearances, its innovative zero-radius arm reaches out—rather than swinging wide—so operators can grab carts in confined spaces. With an optional 12-foot extended reach, it’s ideal for cul-de-sacs and routes with parked vehicles or obstacles.
The Zero Radius™ is equipped with CartSeeker™ AI technology, using cart detection and Lidar sensors to identify, align, and lift automatically—saving time and boosting efficiency. Backed by the McNeilus CODE™ control system for real-time diagnostics and smart features, this side loader delivers precision, performance, and reliability—all supported by Allegiance Refuse parts and service expertise.
Autoreach Automated Side Loader
Meet one of the toughest and most versatile side loaders on the market — the McNeilus AutoReach® Automated Side Loader. With an impressive 2,000-lb arm lift capacity and the ability to reach side-to-side as well as straight out, it’s built to handle even the most challenging routes.
The AutoReach® arm features an innovative 8-foot side-to-side articulation, making it easy to work around obstacles like parked cars and tight spaces. Its grabber assembly handles carts from 30 to 110 gallons, with optional extended fingers for containers up to 300 gallons.
All major functions operate smoothly at idle speed, helping reduce noise and fuel use — a smarter, quieter solution supported by Allegiance Refuse sales, parts, and service expertise.
Manual/Automated Side Loader
When every route brings new surprises, the McNeilus Manual/Automated (MA) Side Loader gives your crew the flexibility to handle it all. With a simple, automated arm and a low-height hopper sill, operators can easily switch between automated collection and manual loading—perfect for those “extras” that show up along residential routes.
An optional cart tipper lets you collect from both sides of the street for even greater efficiency. For fleets that prefer hands-on operation, the MA Side Loader is also available as a dedicated manual model. Its drop frame design and lower hopper sill make it ideal for single-operator or recycling routes. Backed by Allegiance Refuse, it’s the smart, adaptable choice for any collection challenge.
