GS-Products CollecStar8000 Automated Side Loader


The GS-Products engineers have obtained data from owners, mechanics, operators, and other refuse professionals to determine what makes a great ASL. They have thoroughly reviewed this information and incorporated it into what they believe is the best ASL in today’s market.

The CollecStar8000 lift system is exclusively available with our route-proven MP8000 horizontal eject unload body. The safe and stable arm system is designed with an easy-to-maintain patented single cylinder lift/dump motion. Other low maintenance and efficient features include a simple electrical system that requires no electric limit, air limit, or proximity switches on the lift mechanism and no need for PLC or computer control of lift or packer.

Versatile container-friendly design for 32, 48, 64 and 96 gallon containers. Includes a standard 4.8 cubic yard hopper (6 cubic yard/minute displacement at 1200 R.P.M.) with a cover/crusher panel.
  • Easy to Maintain: Our lift system contains no electric limit, air limit, or proximity switches on lift mechanism and no need for PLC or computer control of lift or packer.
