Cobra - Rear Loader

STRIKING THE PERFECT BALANCE

Lightweight Rear Loader with Full-sized Compaction

The New Way® Cobra Rear Loader is the contractor's choice, striking the perfect balance between outstanding compaction and a lightweight 20 yd³ body. With a compaction rate of up to 850 lbs per yd³, the Cobra is a powerful rear-load refuse truck that will do everything mid-size garbage trucks can do. This refuse packer features a redesigned fully formed trough and ejection panel that increases structural integrity, allows replaceable components longer service lives, and aids serviceability. Cobra is available in 16, 18, and 20-yard capacities.
