The BURRO Side Loader

    This is an excellent system for communities that are faced with local garbage collection that then has to be transferred to a distance landfill. It allows the owner to use a small fuel efficient vehicle as a shuttle to collect refuse and then drop off the full container at a collection/transfer site. Once the container is full, a new empty container can quickly be exchanged for the full one on the truck. This allows the unit to quickly drop, reload and go to continue on with the rest of the garbage pickups. The BURRO is a versatile and efficient one person loader capable of performing many tasks besides the collection of garbage. Consider the following:

-The Burro can be combined with a 8 cubic yard container to collect garbage and then transfer the load to a front loader
-The Burro can be used as a low investment, independent garbage truck, ideal for towns, small cities, and subdivisions, by utilizing an available 8 cubic yard container.
-The Burro 's unique compaction system, consisting of a receiving hopper and a compaction blade, loads garbage into the hopper which pre-crushes the garbage against the blade and sweeps it into the receiving container. Compaction ratios of 500 lbs per cubic yard are common
-In addition to garbage collections, the Burro may be used as a container delivery truck and can also pickup full containers
-With an available semi-automated cart tipper installed, the burro is able to service containerized routes as well
-The burro is ideal for use as a satellite collections system.
-The burro mounts on any 1 tonne chassis, 15,000 GVW (We recommend and used the Ford F550)
-The burro is more efficient than a small rear-loader
-The burro has great maneuverability - Ideal for back alleys, bays, and tight places
-No special license is required because the burro uses a Standard Class 5 licensed vehicle
-Interchangeable containers for special materials
-Lower cost to operate and much lower cost to buy than larger trucks
-Great for blue-box curbside recycling pickup, construction, and renovation contracts
Fast with very little noise
