Big Truck Rental adds McNeilus Cart Seeker to rental offerings

The company will now offer the Zero Radius Side Loader with CartSeeker Curbside Automation in its rental fleet.

Big Truck Rental (BTR), Tampa, Florida, has announced the purchase of the Zero Radius Side Loader with CartSeeker Curbside Automation from McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing, Dodge Center, Minnesota.

“We are an innovative and technology-focused organization, and the addition of the McNeilus Zero Radius Automated Side Loader sweetens our rental offerings,” says Zach Martin, president of Big Truck Rental. “This truck’s recent enhancements, including the CartSeeker Curbside Automation technology, allow us to put leading-edge technology in front of our customers. The truck is ready to go to work, so folks should reach out to BTR if they’re interested in trying it out.”

“We’re thrilled that our top-selling side loader with this innovative technology will be running with one of our loyal partners, BTR,” says Matt McLeish, vice president of sales and marketing at McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing. “Our Zero Radius Side Loader has also recently been enhanced with several field-proven upgrades, and we’re excited to get them in the hands of our customers.”

CartSeeker Curbside Automation

McNeilus has partnered with Eagle Vision Systems to offer its patented, artificial intelligence-based CartSeeker Curbside Automation. This cart-recognition technology identifies and locates curbside waste carts and fully automates the operation of the truck’s robotic lift arm without joystick manipulation. According to McNeilus, this helps with cycle times, training time, safety, predictable scheduling and maintenance.  

Zero Radius Automated Side Loader

CartSeeker is included in McNeilus’s latest enhancements for its Zero Radius Automated Side Loader, which features a large hopper and a fast pack cycle.

This side loader offers an innovative zero-radius operation to combat clearance issues, narrow streets and alleyways. The arm reaches, rather than swings, out to grab cans from 30 to 110 gallons. The McNeilus CODE system provides complete vehicle diagnostics, and the Zero Radius is also now available with Tailgate CNG.

This vehicle’s design includes arm carriage enhancements, upgraded finger pins and finger weldments bushings. The new bolt-on wind guards can be replaced as often as needed. Maintenance and servicing are also now easier, according to McNeilus, thanks to a larger access door on the truck’s street side. McNeilus CODE software updates further enhance operator experience and help improve ease of training.
