New Way Trucks introduces the new Cobra HC rear loader

Scranton Manufacturing, Scranton, Iowa, announced that it is debuting its new 25-cubic-yard New Way Cobra HC to its Cobra line of rear loaders at WasteExpo May 7-9 in Las Vegas. The high-compaction model was designed to be the fastest and strongest Cobra, while still maintaining a competitive price point, according to the company.

According to the company, the Cobra HC has the compaction and speed of its larger counterparts, the Cobra Magnum and the King Cobra, but is lighter with an overall lower profile for height-restricted routes. Its full-length formed trough, external backpack valve, 21- 23-second cycle time and angled ejection cylinder deliver consistent loads up to 1,000 pounds per cubic yard.

Other design features include a 15,000-pound overall weight (on the standard 25-yard model), a large 3.5-cubic-yard hopper with wide 80-inch tailgate and inboard cylinders, an inside-body hydraulic tank, optional auto-lock turnbuckles and optional bolt-on winch systems. Most importantly according to the company, the new Cobra HC was designed with technicians in mind. An outside-mounted front valve, easy-access wiring system and removable slide-shoe access covers make preventative maintenance easier.

“We are eager to reveal New Way’s Cobra HC to the world during WasteExpo,” says Don Ross, vice president of sales and marketing at New Way Trucks. “The company is always innovating and looking to fulfill our customers’ needs.”

The Cobra HC is currently in limited production. New Way’s latest rear loader will initially be available in a 25-cubic-yard model when full production begins in early 2020, followed by 20- and 27-cubic-yard models later in 2020. New Way dealers will begin accepting orders for the 25-yard Cobra HC beginning in July 2019.

During WasteExpo, attendees can see the Hino XL series class 8 chassis and the New Way Cobra HC in the Hino Trucks booth (No. 285).
