Navistar front loader available as integrated cab/chassis/body
Introduced at Waste Expo 2012, Navistar’s International LoadStar is a light-weight low cab forward truck specifically designed for waste/refuse. Navistar says the LoadStar is equipped with the industry’s first stainless steel cab to minimize corrosion and increase durability, as well as vocationally designed variable depth frame rails for maximum durability.
Units also feature an ergonomically designed cab interior, Navistar’s Diamond Logic multiplexed electrical system with capabilities that provide seamless body integration for increased safety and ease of operation, and an integrated powertrain powered by MaxxForce, featuring CleanBurn Emissions Technology. (An optional natural gas version is set for availability in early 2013.)
In conjunction with the launch of the LoadStar, in 2012 Navistar acquired certain assets and intellectual property from E-Z Pack Manufacturing, LLC. Through the acquisition, Navistar will offer the LoadStar as a fully integrated cab/chassis/body.
The International WorkStar and International LoadStar waste/refuse trucks will still be offered to mount with all other body companies in the industry based on customer preference. In addition, E-Z Pack will continue to mount bodies on chassis manufactured by other OEMs.
