When it comes to refuse and recycling collection, reliability, innovation, and performance are what keep your fleet on schedule and your community clean. That’s why so many municipalities and private haulers trust McNeilus® refuse trucks—a brand that’s redefined what quality and dependability look like in this industry.
At Haaker Equipment Company, we’re proud to partner with McNeilus to provide customers across California and Arizona with access to some of the most advanced, efficient, and operator-friendly refuse trucks on the market today. From cutting-edge electric solutions to proven diesel models, McNeilus builds trucks that keep your operation running smoothly day after day.
1. Built for Reliability and Long-Term Durability
McNeilus trucks are engineered for one thing above all else: lasting performance under tough conditions. Every model—whether front loader, rear loader, or side loader—is built using high-strength materials and precision manufacturing processes that stand up to the rigors of daily waste collection.
Each body is welded, painted, and assembled in McNeilus’s advanced U.S. manufacturing facilities to ensure consistency and quality from start to finish. Components are tested for longevity and reliability, meaning less downtime, fewer repairs, and lower total ownership costs for fleet managers.
Whether you’re collecting in tight residential neighborhoods or managing high-volume commercial routes, McNeilus trucks deliver dependable results route after route.
2. Industry-Leading Innovation and Electric Advancements
McNeilus has always been a leader in refuse truck innovation—and today, that leadership is clearer than ever with advancements like the McNeilus® ePTO (electric power take-off) system and the Volterra™ fully electric refuse platform.
The ePTO technology allows operators to power body functions such as lifting, packing, and compacting with battery-electric power instead of engine power. This results in:
-
Reduced emissions
-
Lower fuel consumption
-
Quieter operation
-
Less maintenance and engine wear
Meanwhile, the Volterra ZSL™ (side loader) and Volterra ZFL™ (front loader) take electrification to the next level—delivering zero-emission performance and seamless integration with electric chassis from leading manufacturers.
These innovations make McNeilus a true pioneer in sustainable refuse collection, helping fleets meet both operational and environmental goals without compromising performance.
3. Designed with the Operator in Mind
McNeilus trucks are not just powerful—they’re built for people. Every control, feature, and safety element is designed to make an operator’s day easier, safer, and more efficient.
Cab and body designs are intuitive, with ergonomic controls, visibility enhancements, and smart diagnostics systems that give drivers confidence on the road and technicians the tools they need to keep equipment in top condition.
Features like automated arm precision, easy access maintenance points, and customizable route configurations help maximize uptime and operator satisfaction—two key factors in today’s labor-constrained industry.
