Historical Background

Skip loader systems like the Meiller AK12 are a core part of modern European construction and waste logistics. They allow a single truck to transport multiple detachable containers, significantly improving efficiency on job sites where different materials must be moved quickly and safely.

The MAN TGS NN platform is widely used in construction and municipal fleets due to its versatility and strong performance in stop-start and heavy-duty operational environments. Its compact design makes it especially suitable for urban infrastructure work and tight construction sites.

Meiller is one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of hooklift and tipping systems, known for durable and reliable equipment used in demanding industrial and municipal applications. Their systems are a standard feature in many professional construction fleets across Germany and Europe.
