1Introduction
The purpose of this manual is to introduce operators
to the operational procedures of the MINI REAR
LOADER garbage truck. Through the following pages
you will find a lot of useful material about the truck
itself but also about the safety precautions that need to
be taken during your day-to-day normal tasks. Take
the time to read this manual thoroughly; it will show
you how to get the most out of your garbage truck.
Introducing the MINI REAR
LOADER
MINI REAR LOADER units are rear-load refuse
collection vehicles used for trash pickups in university
campuses, parks, alleys and very narrow streets. Once
the body is full, all its content is unloaded at a waste
management landfill or other appropriate site (e.g.
transfer station, incinerator, recycling station). These
units are designed to improve every aspect of your
garbage collection operation, and they use a series of
hydraulic, mechanical, and electrical systems to
perform their work routine.
MINI REAR LOADER units are offered in two main
categories based on the sizes of their waste body and
chassis: small-sized and mid-sized units. Within each
of these size categories a choice of body capacities is
offered: small-sized units have bodies with capacities
of 8 and 10.5 yd3 and mid-sized units have bodies with
capacities of 13 and 17 yd3. The 8 and 10.5 yd3
configurations can be mounted on most non-CDL1
type of chassis.
MINI REAR LOADER units may also come with an
electrically operated chassis as an option. These units
are zero-emission vehicles that can help reduce overall
air pollution levels. They are perfect alternatives to
fossil fuel-powered vehicles.
Because of their small size, MINI REAR LOADER units
go where full-sized garbage trucks don’t go. They are
compact, light and highly manoeuvrable.

2 Introduction
However, despite of their small waste body, MINI REAR LOADER units have a large hopper which is
wide enough to handle commercial containers.
A number of options are available for the MINI REAR LOADER (see later in this Section).
Product Overview
The MINI REAR LOADER is a small, reliable and user-friendly collection truck. It has everything you
need to perform your work efficiently: a powerful hydraulic system, a large hopper, a tough packing
system able to yield a compaction ratio of 800 lbs per yd3, a flat body floor, polymer wear shoes on the
packer and an efficient open-and-eject process.

Figure 1-2
The M INI REAR LOADER (small-sized unit shown)
Body’s main components are the hopper (see Figure 1-4), the packer (see Figure 1-3), the tailgate
(see Figure 1-3), the pushout panel (see Figure 1-5), and the carrier panel (see Figure 1-4).
Some trucks may be equipped with a cart tipper (see Figure 1-1) or a push bar. If the latter is installed,
a reeving cylinder or a winch is provided.
The hopper is the area of the body where refuse is dumped. The packer is the piece of equipment that
pushes refuse into the body. The pushout (or ejection) panel is the piece of equipment that is used to
eject garbage at landfill sites. The tailgate is the rear pivotal door that prevents refuse from exiting the
body during collection. At landfill, the tailgate is raised to enable the discharge of refuse.
