Hyva, a Netherlands-based manufacturer of dump-body tipping and hydraulic lift solitons, has announced the launch of its Beta Rear Loader, available in 11-, 13- and 16-yard configurations for the U.S. and Canadian markets.

Hyva says the Beta represents a quality-built solution to address the continued issue of finding and retaining commercial driver’s licensed (CDL) drivers in the waste collection market segment.

The 11-yard Beta can be mounted on a non-CDL chassis, and its lower weight does not require FET (federal excise tax), according to Hyva. Additionally, the Beta features a flat-floor design, a heavy-duty floor mounted ejector cylinder, a large 2-yard hopper and a tailgate that can accommodate a bin lifter, winch and container kick bar.

“We’re very excited to launch the Beta Rear Loader as it delivers a level of performance and value that fleet owners are looking for,” says Chris Zuniga, Hyva’s head of sales for its North American Recycling Business Unit. “With our acquisition of Usimeca in 2021, we absorbed over 50 years of experience in the design of rear loaders that continue to perform in some of the toughest environments on the planet. That DNA melded very well with our European engineering processes to create the Beta.”

Zuniga says the 8- and 10-yard low-profile bodies for the cab-over market will be available soon. Parts will be distributed from Hyva’s Chicago-area warehouse through its network of dealers throughout the country. Local dealers will also provide service backed up by trained factory technicians, the company says.

“We believe the Beta offers the right mix of value, performance and availability that the market requires,” Zuniga says. “The Beta not only packs a punch, but you can tell it’s a quality rear loader and is simple to operate and maintain.”

Hyva is known for its innovative front-end hydraulic tipping solutions, skip loaders and hooklifts, and as the largest producer of telescopic cylinders in the world. Hyva USA is celebrating its 20th anniversary in the U.S.

The Beta Rear Loader will be on display this spring in booth 4059 at the 2025 Waste Expo, May 6-9 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
