Since 1996, the McNeilus AutoReach has grown to become one of the most common and easily recognizable automated side loader bodies on the road today. While the packer body has undergone several re-designs over the past 20 years, the AutoReach arm has remained true to it's original form, featuring an 8-foot reach and a unique side-to-side swivel feature. This video features the Century Series AutoReach body, also commonly referred to as the "first generation" AutoReach, and was the original build version of the AutoReach. Seen here paired with a Volvo WXLL cab and chassis, this truck still slams back route like a champ, going nearly 20-years strong. Watch here as this truck handles a residential garbage route on a beautiful desert morning in the heart of California's Coachella Valley. Enjoy!
As always, a huge thanks goes out to driver of this truck for providing excellent service and for allowing me to grab some video of this awesome truck!
