David MacKrill Engineering Bury St. Edmunds, England MacREL Loader Throughout the 1980s and early 1990s, MacKrill was the UK licensee for the German Haller rear loaders. Dubbed the MacREL (for "Rear End Loader"), this was essential the Haller X-Series, which used a conventional slide-sweep type packer system. Regarding MacREL's acceptance among commercial haulers, CRT contributor Tim Byrne relates that "former fleet engineers, who used to buy them for their fleets, emphasised there was nothing any stronger at the time". Slide-sweep packers are exceptionally well-suited for bulk/industrial service, and MacKrill found many customers for the giant 27 cubic metre version (35 cubic yards), typically equipped with a heavy-duty skip hoist and riding atop a four-axle cabover chassis. 10/5/08 © 2008 Eric Voytko All Rights Reserved Logos shown are the trademarks of respective manufacturers Photos from factory brochures/trade advertisements except as noted
