1Introduction
The purpose of this manual is to introduce operators
to the operational procedures of the 2R-II™ rear-loader
garbage truck. For information regarding maintenance
procedures, refer to the related 2R-II™ Maintenance
Manual.
Introducing the 2R-II™
2R-II™ units are rear-load refuse collection vehicles
used for residential, commercial and demolition
garbage pick-ups. Once the body is full, all its content
is unloaded at a waste management landfill or other
appropriate site (e.g. transfer station, incinerator,
recycling station). These units are designed to improve
every aspect of your garbage collection operation, and
they use a series of hydraulic, mechanical, and
electrical systems to perform their work routine.
Depending on the type of collection for which it is
intended, the 2R-II™ is offered in two main collection
configurations: semi-automated and manual.
Vehicles destined for semi-automated collection are
equipped with a cart tipper, and vehicles destined for
manual collection benefit from the lowered hopper
load sill.
All other major options and body configurations are
explained in the following pages.
Product Overview
The 2R-II™ is a tough, reliable and user-friendly
collection truck. It has everything you need to perform
your work efficiently: a large hopper, fast packing
cycles, an efficient open-and-eject process and great
versatility for use not only in residential and
commercial waste collection but also in demolition
waste collection.

2 Introduction
Figure 1-1 Cart tippers
Body’s main components are the hopper (see Figure 1-3), the packer (see Figure 1-2), the tailgate
(see Figure 1-2), the pushout panel (see Figure 1-4), and the carrier panel (see Figure 1-3).
Some trucks may be equipped with one or two cart tippers (see Figure 1-1). Or they may be equipped
with a push bar. If the latter is installed, a reeving cylinder or winch is provided.
The hopper is the area of the body where the refuse is dumped. The packer is the piece of equipment
that pushes the refuse into the body. The pushout (or ejection) panel is the piece of equipment that is
used to eject garbage at landfill sites. The tailgate is the rear pivotal door that prevents refuse from
exiting the body during collection. At landfill, the tailgate is raised to enable discharge of the refuse.
