Viper - Rear Loader

PACKING A POWERFUL BITE

Innovation Adds Value, Safety and Ease of Maintenance

The New Way® Viper™ Rear Loader is one of the most popular mid-compaction rear loader bodies on the market today. Larger capacity Viper units are excellent for both residential and commercial work.

New Way's engineering team has increased safety and added value with a design that moves the cylinders and the operating valve to the outside of the truck body. This creates a straight line between levers and control rods, making maintenance quick and easy. The operator valve placement eliminates the need to reach into the truck body, increasing employee safety. And, the Viper also comes standard with automatic tailgate locks with the control handle located on the side of the chassis; eliminating the time and effort needed to go back and forth to operate the traditional turnbuckle locks.

With accessories and adapters to accommodate all varieties of residential cart tippers and commercial containers, a rear-view camera and a two-year cylinder warranty, this venomous rear loader is sure to paralyze the competition.
