Petersen Industries

Petersen's Lightning Loader grapple trucks have been the industry standard since 1979. Over 700 cities and counties use Petersen loaders, as well as most of the major waste companies. According to recent studies a large portion of the MSW stream is comprised of bulky trash, with some larger cities reporting that as much as 40% of their waste stream is oversized trash and brush. Bulky trash is characteristically large and heavy, making it dangerous to lift and impossible to fit into standard sized automated cans. Grapple trucks are the more efficient and safer way to collect bulky trash and brush!
