The Meridian™ Front Loader from McNeilus is a fusion of power and technology, built to perform in all working conditions. This refuse collection truck, both reliable and efficient, combines durability and innovation to meet your specific needs.

FLEXIBILITY FOR ALL ROADS

The Meridian™ Front Loader from McNeilus stands out for its versatility and durability, making it a perfect fit for both commercial and residential routes. With a base weight of 17,100 pounds and a payload capacity reaching up to 14 tons, this truck is built to assist with refuse collection operations across the board.

POWER SUITED FOR HEAVY-DUTY COLLECTIONS

The Meridian™ is equipped with arms that can lift up to 10,000 pounds, ensuring maximum load capacity for each collection. This performance is backed by a design that reduces overall weight while maintaining industrial grade loading capabilities.

DESIGNED FOR EASY MAINTENANCE

Its hydraulic components are mounted along the side of the chassis instead of the frame head, providing easier access for maintenance while shielding the valves from debris and wear. This extends the equipment’s lifespan, ensuring long-term reliability.

The flat floor design and support structures also improve loading capacity and simplify maintenance, making service quicker and safer for technicians.

ADVANCED CONTROL TECHNOLOGY

The Meridian™ Front Loader features the McNeilus CODE™ control system, offering simplified controls based on CAN (Controller Area Network) technology. This system streamlines diagnostics and troubleshooting while providing real-time status updates and pre-trip reminders. For you, that means less downtime and higher productivity out in the field.

HIGH-DURABILITY COMPONENTS

The truck is built with reinforced and durable components, including AR450 steel floor panels for the body, grade-80 steel fork support plates, and external sensors on the arms and forks for easier maintenance. Each part is designed to endure the rough conditions of the job, ensuring a long life with less upkeep.

LARGE HOPPER CAPACITY

The Meridian™ hopper boasts a capacity of 13.2 cu yd, with sidewalls and a floor constructed from abrasion-resistant steel, offering maximum durability. The rear door’s non-sliding design ensures consistent sealing while allowing easy access to support mechanisms, enhancing operator safety.

FAST WORK CYCLE

The Meridian™ delivers impressive performance with optimized cycle times. For example, the arms can lower in just 10 seconds and raise in 7 seconds, while the top door opens in 12 seconds. These reduced times boost the efficiency of each collection, allowing more tasks to be completed in less time.

SAFETY AND RELIABILITY ABOVE ALL

In addition to position sensors on the arms and forks, which enhance maneuverability and control, the truck is equipped with safety features like automatic tailgate locking cylinders. These features ensure that operators can work in safe conditions, minimizing the risk of accidents.

DIMENSIONS AND SPECIFICATIONS

The Meridian™ is available in several capacity configurations (32, 36, 40, 43 cu yd), with dimensions tailored to meet the specific needs of any fleet. For instance, a 40 cu yd model with lowered arms and a closed tailgate measures 37’7’’ in length and 14’2’’ in height, offering ample capacity while staying compliant with weight and size restrictions.

With the Meridian™, you’re investing in a reliable, durable, and efficient truck, backed by a team dedicated to maximizing your productivity and reducing your operating costs.
