RL3 – Rear Mount Loader
Primary advantage is keeping the grapple loader working while separate trailers or haul trucks transport the debris. Petersen specifically positions both for high-volume collection applications.
- Petersen RL3 Rear Mount Loader is designed for high-production debris collection where flexibility and continuous loading are essential. Mounted at the rear of a short-frame chassis, the RL3 can load debris into an attached dump trailer or directly into separate haul trucks, allowing the loader to remain productive while material is transported away. Its powerful grapple, extended reach, maneuverable design, and multiple operator-control configurations make it an excellent solution for brush, bulky waste, storm debris, and high-volume cleanup operations. For municipalities and contractors looking to separate loading from hauling, the RL3 provides a versatile and efficient collection system built around proven Petersen performance.
