The Netherlands-based manufacturer’s rear loader is available in 11-, 13- and 16-yard configurations. The 11-yard Beta can be mounted on a non-CDL chassis, and 8- and 10-yard low-profile bodies for the cab-over market will be available soon. Key features include:

  • a flat-floor design with a heavy-duty floor-mounted ejector cylinder
