The waste management sector has long placed its trust in skip handlers from Meiller. The focus for the tipper specialist from Munich is on the issue of safety at the IAA Commercial Vehicles 2018. An initial glance at the AK12 skip handler at the Hanover trade fair revealed the familiar functions which waste management professionals value when it comes to the safety of Meiller equipment.

The skip clamping and locking systems secure skips in every direction and fully automatically. The i.s.a.r.-control remote enables convenient operation by the driver from a safe distance with an optimum view of the work during loading and unloading.

Intelligent functions such as sequence control ensure that skip transportation is even more efficient. However, as not only the skip, but the load transported in it must be secured in line with regulations, Meiller has another trump up its sleeve in this respect. With the preprogrammed processes of the i.s.a.r.-control radio control unit the operator saves time and avoids mistakes in the sequence of operating steps. Up to 30 seconds can be saved for each sequence. With a button combination, you activate a defined sequence of functions that are executed after each other. The operator has always full control and can intervene in the sequences at any time.

The superstructure manufacturer has unveiled a fully automatic tarpaulin system for load securing perfectly adapted to its skip handlers for the first time. This enables safe and convenient working without any potential risks for the driver when securing the load. In addition to facilitating work considerably for the operator, the tarpaulin system ensures that safety is enhanced, convenience increased and efficiency improved through uncomplicated, rapid operation from ground level.
