To Learn MoreThe side loader is a refuse collection vehicle that is loaded from the side, either manually, or with the assistance of a joystick-controlled robotic arm with a claw, used to automatically lift and tip wheeled bins into the truck’s hopper. Lift-equipped trucks are referred to as automated side loaders, or ASL’s.
Using a continuously reciprocating crusher plate at the rear of the loading hopper, the waste is forced through an aperture into the main body and therefore compacted towards the rear of the truck. An automated side loader only needs one operator, where a traditional rear load garbage truck may require two or three people, and has the additional advantage of reducing on the job injuries due to repetitive heavy lifting.
