Cobra Magnum - Rear Loader

THE HUNT IS OVER

A Big Rear Loader That’s DOT Compliant

The New Way® Cobra Magnum® Rear Loader offers the ultra-high compaction of the King Cobra but with an ultra-light body weight.

A fast cycle time and overpowering compaction rate come together to create a body weight lighter than the competition. The New Way Cobra Magnum has also undergone serviceability-improving updates and is available in four body sizes ranging from 20 to 32 cubic yards.

Sporting the biggest body in our rear-load refuse truck lineup, the Cobra Magnum® is designed to comply with DOT (Opens a new window) weight regulations and offers the easiest operational features in today’s refuse truck market. This impressive rear loader truck provides operators convenient access to curbside hydraulic controls that will easily compact approximately 1,000+ lbs per yd³.

Factor in a massive 3.55 yd³ hopper and striking 21-23 second cycle time, and the Cobra Magnum® is the perfect size garbage truck with the bite to crush anything you throw its way.
