Front Loader

Atlantic Series & Meridian Front Loaders

McNeilus front loaders are built to take care of business, whether it’s demanding commercial routes or dense residential neighborhoods. We offer options in the front loader product line to meet what you need — from the heavy duty Atlantic Series Front Loader® to the lighter weight Meridian™ Front Loader.
All McNeilus front loaders come standard with Excalibre™ packing cylinders that feature a patented tool steel shaver and nitrided rods, helping to resist wear and corrosion and drastically reducing hydraulic contamination. Other features and options include the McNeilus CODE™ controls system that puts superior truck diagnostics and troubleshooting at your fingertips.
Both front loader products offer a clean headframe that boosts serviceability and performance, and keeps hydraulic and electrical components better protected.
