Learning

Flexibility matters when it comes to adapting to the realities of refuse collection, no matter the territory. That’s why the M2 rear loader from McNeilus is worth considering for operations looking for a lighter truck that still delivers solid performance.

A DESIGN YOU CAN COUNT ON

Built on the Freightliner M2 chassis, this model blends agility, comfort, and rugged reliability. It weaves easily through tight urban environments and back roads, while still packing the muscle to get the job done right.

Available in 17, 20, 25, and 28 cubic yard configurations, the M2 rear loader adapts to your needs. Whether you’re working residential or commercial routes, you can choose the right body size to suit your hauling requirements.

Its rear compaction system helps make the most of every loading cycle. That added capacity means fewer trips to the transfer station, giving your operation a boost in efficiency and easing the strain on both crews and equipment.

SIMPLIFIED MAINTENANCE

The M2 is built with simplicity in mind: fewer moving parts, quick access to key components, and compatibility with the McNeilus Street Smart Parts & Service network. That means less time in the shop, and more time on the road.

The M2 rear loader can be equipped with automated or semi-automated hydraulic lifters, depending on your crew setup and collection frequency. This kind of flexibility helps keep the pace steady, while looking out for the physical demands on your operators.

VISIBILITY, ERGONOMICS & SAFETY

The Freightliner cab gives operators excellent visibility, helping to prevent mishaps in busy traffic or pedestrian-heavy zones. Intuitive, ergonomic controls are designed to reduce fatigue over long shifts.

This vehicle is built to meet today’s collection realities—with no unnecessary tech overload, just tried-and-true reliability.

 

The M2 rear loader, with its well-thought-out simplicity and steady, strong performance, makes it a right some good asset for refuse collection operations, wherever you’re running your route.
