Innovations in rear loader truck design, such as improved compaction systems, automated lifting mechanisms, and onboard telematics to enhance operational efficiency, productivity, and safety. Automation and robotics technologies are increasingly integrated into rear loader trucks to smoothen the waste collection processes. Automated lifting mechanisms, robotic arms, and grabbers enable trucks to autonomously lift and empty waste bins, reducing the manual labor required by operators and improving productivity.
Rear loader trucks manufacturers are breaking new ground in the refuse truck industry around integration of new technologies in their trucks. For instance, in February 2023, McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing, Inc., an Oshkosh Corporation company continues to innovate within the waste management sector around connected solutions, electrification technologies and autonomy. The company is coming up with new technology to transform the manufacturing process of refuse collection vehicles on a large scale.
The company ramped up production on the modern manufacturing line. The high flow line features various Industry 4.0 technologies including autonomous robotics, a cloud-based manufacturing execution system (MES) and connected tooling. The company has initial focus on building Mcneilus rear loader products.
