Minnesota based refuse collection vehicle manufacturer, McNeilus Truck & Manufacturing, Inc., is donating a Atlantic Series Front Loader for auction at WasteExpo 2017 to raise money for the Environmental Research & Education Foundation (EREF) charity.
The company, a part of the Oshkosh Corporation (NYSE:OSK), said that the vehicle features a 40 cubic yard capacity, 10,000-pound-rated arms, Excalibre™ packing cylinders, service lift and camera system, and will be part of a live auction at the EREF booth on Wednesday, 10 May .
The auction generates funds to assist the EREF’s scientific research and educational initiatives for sustainable waste management practices.
