The PL-3 is a loader and body that we plumb to fit your existing roll-off. Adds capabilities to your fleet without having to dedicate a truck full-time.
System Description
The Petersen PL-3 Lightning Loader and 18 foot, 24 cubic yard body are mounted on a steel skid. Heavy-duty steel rollers on the rear of the body allow for easy installation and removal of the unit. Loader is hydraulically locked to the chassis. The Pl-3 is intended for cable style roll-offs. For hooklift style roll-offs, please inquire about the Petersen model HL-3.
