The McNeilus® Meridian™ Front Loader strikes the ideal balance of strength, versatility, and efficiency for both commercial and residential routes. Weighing in at under 17,000 pounds, it helps fleets meet strict state and federal weight regulations without sacrificing power. With an arm lift capacity of 10,000 pounds and a leading 14-ton payload, the Meridian is built to pack and haul with confidence. Its clear headframe design keeps hydraulic and electrical components safely away from heat and debris, while relocating hydraulics to side-body enclosures improves service access. A flat body and hopper floor enhance carrying capacity, and a non-sliding tailgate reduces wear while offering easier access through improved tailgate props. Added arm and fork position sensors give operators greater control and a smoother experience, making the Meridian a smart, durable choice for any fleet.
