McNeilus Truck & Manufacturing  Inc., Dodge Center, Minnesota, an Oshkosh Corp. company, has announced the release of the Latitude Integration residential collection system.

He adds, “We’ve also announced that McNeilus is the exclusive distributor of Perkins automated cans, providing our customers with another option for automated front loader collection.”

• a simplified sensor system on the body, arms and forks, external to the hydraulic cylinders;
• Auto Level, which automatically levels the residential container during the dump cycle; and
• Cab Protection, which prevents the operator from inadvertently rolling the container into the cab.
