McNeilus Front Load Cylinders

Replacement McNeilus Front Load (FL) cylinders for commercial route refuse trucks — packer body cylinders, tailgate cylinders, and fork lift cylinders for McNeilus Front Load refuse bodies. OEM-equivalent specs for Atlantic FL and other McNeilus front-load configurations.

What this page covers

McNeilus Front Load trucks handle commercial route pickup — front-mounted forks slide into dumpster fork tubes, the lift cylinder rotates the dumpster up and over the truck, and the load dumps into the packer body. The packer cylinder then compacts the load before the next pickup.

PRT stocks the most-replaced McNeilus FL cylinder configurations.

How to choose

Identify by McNeilus FL truck model, cylinder application, and OEM part number.

FL packer cylinders are high-cycle components — preventive replacement at scheduled service intervals is usually cheaper than emergency replacement.

  • FL tailgate cylindersOpen and close the rear tailgate.
  • FL fork lift cylindersLift cylinders for the dumpster pickup forks.
  • FL accessory cylindersSweep and packing-plate cylinders.

Frequently asked questions

What McNeilus FL models does PRT supply cylinders for?

Are McNeilus FL cylinders interchangeable with Heil FL cylinders?

Can I rebuild a McNeilus FL cylinder?

Yes. PRT seal kits include all the required components for in-place rebuild.
