-
What is the Leach Alpha-III rear loader designed for? The Leach Alpha-III is a high-performance rear loader garbage truck known for its strength and reliability. It is a popular choice for both manual residential and commercial recycling applications.
What are its key benefits? This refuse truck is a favorite among operators due to its standard 3.0 yd³ hopper, a low load sill for easy access, and a fast packing cycle of as little as 19 seconds, which increases route efficiency.
-
What is the "Diamond Force Compaction" design? The patented Diamond Force Compaction design on the push-out panel ensures waste is evenly distributed inside the body, minimizing voids and achieving a high compaction rating of at least 1,000 lbs/yd³.
What features improve durability and reduce maintenance? The truck's body and tailgate surfaces are grit blasted, primed, and painted before assembly to prevent corrosion. Additionally, the Alpha-III is the only rear loader equipped with interchangeable packer and carrier cylinders, which helps fleets reduce their parts inventory and simplify maintenance.
What is a "sump" and how is it designed on this truck? The unique single-piece floor trough forms a natural sump capable of holding up to 300 gallons of liquid. This design helps to contain liquids, preventing spillage and keeping the truck cleaner during operation.
-
What body sizes are available for this model? The Leach Alpha-III is available in a range of body sizes, from 14 to 32 cubic yards, allowing it to be configured for various applications and payload requirements.
Are there alternative energy options available? Yes, this rear loader can be integrated with alternative energy options like a proprietary CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) system or a Battery-Electric chassis to support sustainable fleet operations.
-
What is the Leach Split Rear Loader designed for? The Leach Split Rear Loader is a specialized rear loader garbage truck designed for efficient dual-stream collection of separate materials, such as refuse and recyclables, or organics and solid waste.
How does its split-body design work? This unique refuse truck features a split body with fully independent tailgates and ejector panels. It can be configured in a 50/50, 40/60, or 60/40 split to accommodate different waste streams and maximize payloads.
-
How does the truck maintain productivity with dual streams? Despite its dual-stream capability, the Split Rear loader maintains high productivity with fast and powerful hydraulics, a quick 20-second packing cycle, and a high compaction rating of up to 1000 lbs/yd³.
What features improve operator efficiency and safety? The truck has a low load sill height of 6” below the frame for easy loading. The controls can be located on the curbside or in a dual configuration on both sides of the tailgate for added convenience and safety during operation.
-
What body sizes are available for this model? The Leach Split Rear loader is available in a 32-cubic-yard body size.
Are there alternative energy options available? Yes, this rear loader can be powered by alternative energy sources, including a proprietary CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) system or a Battery-Electric chassis, to support a cleaner, more sustainable fleet.
-
What is the Leach Mini Rear Loader designed for? The Leach Mini Rear Loader is a compact and highly maneuverable garbage truck specifically designed to operate in tight spaces and narrow streets that larger trucks cannot access. It is a perfect waste management solution for manual residential and commercial collection, as well as recycling routes in confined areas.
How does its size benefit operations? Its compact size and optimized weight distribution improve fuel efficiency and increase legal payload, allowing for greater productivity and reduced operational costs.
-
Key Features & Technology
How does its hydraulic system enhance efficiency? The Mini Rear features an efficient hydraulic system that allows for faster packing and dumping cycles, which reduces overall route time.
What safety features does the truck have? Operator safety is a key priority. The truck is designed with smart interlocks that prevent the hydraulic pump from activating unless the controls are in a neutral position, ensuring safe operation.
-
What features simplify maintenance? The loader is built for durability with a reinforced body and a two-piece tailgate, which makes maintenance easier.
Are there alternative energy options available? Yes, the Leach Mini Rear Loader is EV-ready, with seamless integration capabilities for a Battery-Electric chassis to help fleets transition to cleaner energy.
