Cart Lifters & Tippers: Built for Every Truck
Whether you run frontload, sideload, or rear-load trucks, we offer a Perkins solution to automate your route and protect your operators.
Rear-Load Solutions: Optimize your rear-loader with residential cart tipping capabilities.
- With or Without Kicker Bars: Choose the configuration that best suits your container mix and prevents “hanging” carts.
- Commercial Grade: Built to handle the heaviest residential carts without breaking a sweat.
Front & Side-Load Lifters: Seamlessly integrate cart collection into your commercial routes.
- Frontload Tippers: Minimal interference with commercial container dumping.
- Sideload Lifters: High-cycle speeds designed for high-density residential neighborhoods.
Choose Your Power: Lifting Mechanisms
Every route is different. That’s why we offer Perkins’ full range of mechanical configurations to match your specific torque and space requirements:
- Cylinder Operated: Traditional, powerful lifting with familiar hydraulic maintenance.
- Pneumatically Operated: Lightweight and efficient; ideal for specific air-equipped chassis.
- Rotary Compact: Maximum power in a small footprint; perfect for tight mounting spaces.
- Rotary Short-Arm: High ground clearance and a deep “tuck” under the hopper sill.
- Cane-Style: The classic, dependable “hook and lift” for standard roll-out carts.
Perkins Satellite Systems
Big performance for small spaces. When a full-sized refuse truck can’t make the turn, Perkins Satellite (SAT) systems bridge the gap.
- Versatility: Mountable on pickup or flatbed chassis.
- Efficiency: Collect waste in parks, gated communities, or narrow alleys and “mother-load” directly into your larger packers.
- Productivity: Keep your big trucks on the main lines while the SAT units handle the tight spots.
Parts & Accessories
A lifter is only as good as its uptime. MetroQuip supports your Perkins equipment with a full inventory of:
- Mounting Brackets & Hardware
- Replacement Actuators & Cylinders
- Genuine Perkins Wear Parts
In the Northwest and the Great Basin, “good enough” doesn’t cut it. You need equipment that survives the winter and a dealer that knows your name. By partnering with Perkins, MetroQuip combines American-made durability with local, boots-on-the-ground support.
