Wolverine Automated Side Loader

According to research done by the American Trucking Associations, half of all CDL operators will likely retire in the next decade. New Way Trucks continues to proactively innovate to meet the shifting needs of municipalities and haulers across North America.

AUTOMATED COLLECTION - UNDER-CDL CAPABLE

Wolverine Automated Side Loader

The New Way® Wolverine™ is the latest innovation from New Way Trucks and joins the largest and most diverse family of refuse equipment in the industry. The Wolverine has the attributes of its larger sibling, just in a smaller package.

Although the Wolverine is a full-fledged collection vehicle, it is available in an under-CDL package, making finding and training new drivers considerably easier. Your new drivers can focus on safety, customer service, and a manageable route footprint in a smaller vehicle, and eventually graduate to a full-sized unit bringing those skills forward to a larger – yet still familiar – vehicle.

For the last 20 years, the solid waste industry focused on improving productivity. That effort translated to bigger and fewer collection routes, larger trucks, and fleet-rightsizing. Given the current CDL driver shortage, however, one shoe does not fit all markets. Hauling operators are now seeing those trends begin to reverse. There is a willingness to expand fleets with smaller collection vehicles with hopes of expanding the labor pool and drawing candidates from groups not traditionally targeted by the nation’s waste haulers. New Way Trucks is poised and ready to meet that need.

The industry’s continued shift to automation has further proven to extend an aging workforce while at the same time becoming gender neutral. Historically solid waste has been male-dominated due to the heavy lifting requirements. However, technology has solved that problem. Automation does the heavy lifting, and equipment manufacturers are designing for smaller stature, creating access to more commercial drivers in a time when driver shortages are widespread.  

The New Way Sidewinder XTR™ is the best-selling Class 8 automated side-loader in the industry. It’s just a matter of time before the Wolverine becomes the most sought-after Class 6.

XTR Premium Features

The Industry's Strongest Arm Design

The industry's proven most durable arm configuration— a frame-mounted arm with a gripper that's in line with the arm— has been reinforced by New Way^® engineers with heavier steel and hardware, giving you the strongest and most dependable side-loader arm ever built. It's built for the abuse of big routes and designed to keep you on the road, day in and day out.
