Corrosion-Killing Cab
The waste industry’s groundbreaking stainless steel cab design helps fend off corrosion in unforgiving conditions, from grungy urban alleys to trash-filled landfills. This built-to-last design gives durability a new meaning.

Fortified Frames
Haul more payload with a smoother ride, thanks to high-strength, variable depth frame rails that are lighter and lower than traditional double rails. “These deliver weight savings but still handle the job stress,” says Jerry Hlavacek, general manager of refuse and specialty vehicles at Navistar.

Unprecedented Comfort
Navistar engineers rode shotgun on sanitation routes to understand what operators need to stay fatigue-free. Among the LoadStar’s ergonomic enhancements: a 90-degree door opening, a standard tilt/telescoping steer column and customizable seat settings.

Smart and Easy
The Diamond Logic^® electrical system provides seamless integration between the chassis and body operations. Powered by multiplexing technology that sends data across a few set of wires, it reduces complexity during the build and makes troubleshooting a snap.

Master Maneuverability
With superior front, side and rear visibility, and up to 40-degree wheel cuts, this truck can take on the tightest corners—and minimize the need reverse motion. “Most accidents occur when [trucks are] backing up,” explains Melissa Gauger, manager of North American truck product platforms.

Unrivaled Engine Array
No other severe-service truck offers the wide variety of engine options. Choose from diesel-powered MaxxForce^® 10-, 11- and 13-liter options that feature CleanBurn™ Emissions Technology. And, coming in spring 2013: natural gas option.
