Waste collection plays a vital role in keeping cities clean and communities healthy. Behind every smooth operation is a fleet of trucks that must be reliable, efficient, and safe. With the arrival of advanced manufacturing in refuse trucks, municipalities and private operators are seeing major improvements in performance, delivery speed, and worker safety.

PRECISION THAT BUILDS RELIABILITY

Advanced manufacturing integrates robotic assembly and digital systems to ensure accuracy at every stage of production. This consistency reduces human error and results in trucks with greater structural integrity. The outcome is a more reliable vehicle with fewer breakdowns and less downtime. For fleet managers, this means more trucks available for daily routes and fewer costly interruptions.

Investing in trucks manufactured through these processes ensures long-term durability. Less time in the shop translates directly into better service continuity and stronger return on investment.

FASTER PRODUCTION AND DELIVERY

Modern production facilities equipped with advanced manufacturing tools are able to streamline workflows. Automated planning and real-time monitoring optimize every stage—from material supply to final assembly. This allows manufacturers to shorten delivery timelines significantly.

For cities and companies that need to replace or expand their fleets quickly, this speed is a game-changer. Instead of waiting long months for new vehicles, operators can get their trucks sooner and keep services running without delay.

PRIORITIZING HEALTH AND SAFETY

Beyond speed and precision, advanced manufacturing also enables the integration of features that directly improve operator safety. Ergonomic cab designs, automated lifting systems, and reinforced components are more easily standardized when production is driven by robotics and digital models.

This approach minimizes operator strain, reduces the risk of injuries, and creates a safer work environment. For organizations, this translates into healthier teams and fewer incidents that could disrupt operations.

SUSTAINABILITY THROUGH SMARTER PROCESSES

Advanced manufacturing also promotes sustainability. By optimizing cutting, welding, and material usage, waste is minimized during production. Stronger yet lighter components also contribute to better fuel efficiency once trucks hit the road.

These improvements support both environmental responsibility and financial savings. Municipalities and companies benefit from greener operations without sacrificing performance.

CUSTOMIZATION TO MEET UNIQUE NEEDS

Another strength of advanced manufacturing is flexibility. Digital design systems allow manufacturers to quickly adapt specifications to meet the unique requirements of each customer—whether that means body capacity, type of loader, or specialized features.

This adaptability ensures every fleet receives trucks that truly fit their operational needs, improving efficiency from day one.

CONCLUSION: A STRONGER FUTURE FOR REFUSE COLLECTION

Advanced manufacturing in refuse trucks represents more than a technological shift. It’s reshaping how communities handle waste collection by delivering trucks that are faster to build, safer to operate, and more sustainable for the future. For municipalities and private operators, this innovation is a clear pathway to stronger service and long-term efficiency.

Chargement arrière à double compartiment McNeilus - Rear Loader Split Body

At L’Arsenal, we believe that performance, safety, and operational speed should work together—not compete. The McNeilus Split Body rear loader brings a practical advantage to waste collection teams by allowing two separate refuse streams to be collected in a single route. One trip. Twice the results.

MAXIMIZE PRODUCTIVITY WITHOUT MULTIPLYING RESOURCES

Thanks to its dual-compartment configuration, this truck eliminates the need for two separate collection runs. Whether it’s refuse and recycling or any other combination, your fleet travels less and collects more. This translates to reduced fuel costs, lower maintenance, and a simplified workflow. Productivity increases without the need for additional vehicles.

SMART DESIGN THAT FITS YOUR DAILY CHALLENGES

The McNeilus Split Body rear loader is designed to meet the needs of municipalities, private contractors, and co-op collection teams. It features user-friendly controls, a strong hydraulic system, and easily accessible components for streamlined service. The rear-loading setup is ideal for dense urban areas, tight alleys, and neighborhoods where maneuverability is essential.

LESS WEAR, LONGER FLEET LIFE

Collecting more with fewer trips also means your trucks endure less wear. Brake systems, tires, and engines benefit from reduced usage. The compacting system preserves the structure of each compartment, avoiding cross-contamination and reducing mechanical stress. This helps extend the service life of your investment.

BETTER VISIBILITY, SAFER COLLECTION

This model is equipped with enhanced lighting, rear cameras, and a clear loading area to support operator awareness. Safety isn’t an add-on—it’s built in. Whether collecting early in the morning, late at night, or in high-traffic zones, your crew can work confidently and efficiently.

ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE OPERATIONS

Fewer kilometers traveled also means fewer emissions. With only one route needed to handle two refuse streams, this truck helps reduce your environmental footprint. For cities and contractors aiming to improve sustainability while maintaining high output, it’s a reliable and measurable solution.

DESIGNED FOR EASY MAINTENANCE

Maintenance time should be short and predictable. This truck is built with service in mind: critical components are easy to reach, and replacement parts are available directly from L’Arsenal. When service is needed, our technicians can get you back on the road quickly and reliably.

WHY CHOOSE THE MCNEILUS SPLIT BODY REAR LOADER?

At L’Arsenal, we offer tools that work for your team, not against it. The McNeilus Split Body rear loader brings real benefits to your day-to-day operations. No complicated upgrades. Just more work done in less time.

Ready to double your efficiency without doubling your effort? Contact us today to learn more.

TECH THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING

Traditionally, a truck’s hydraulics run off the diesel engine. While this setup is durable, it also means constant fuel use, more noise, and engine wear. The ePTO (Electric Power Take-Off) replaces this process by using electric energy to power the hydraulics during loading.

This shift brings tangible benefits: less fuel, lower emissions, and reduced mechanical stress on the vehicle.

LESS NOISE, FEWER EMISSIONS: A BETTER WORK ENVIRONMENT

One of the most noticeable benefits of ePTO is how quiet it is. For operators working early shifts or in residential zones, this means a much more comfortable and respectful workday. It also minimizes public disturbance.

Environmentally, the difference is also clear: ePTO cuts down on diesel use during loading, helping fleets reduce emissions and move toward greener operations.

SIMPLER MAINTENANCE, LOWER COSTS

Fewer moving parts mean fewer breakdowns. ePTO reduces engine wear and extends service intervals — a clear win for fleet managers looking to control maintenance costs and boost uptime.

OPERATOR-FRIENDLY FUNCTIONALITY

From an operator’s standpoint, ePTO is easy to use and keeps operations smooth. Less vibration, less noise, and consistent cycle performance all contribute to more productive shifts.

A REAL STEP TOWARD RESPONSIBLE FLEETS

Integrating ePTO-equipped trucks into your fleet is a smart move for both public and private organizations looking to act sustainably. It’s a real transition — with real benefits — that doesn’t compromise performance or reliability.

L’ARSENAL STANDS WITH INNOVATION

As a McNeilus partner, L’Arsenal proudly promotes practical innovations like ePTO. They bring measurable benefits that make a daily difference for those who keep our cities clean and efficient.
