About the illustrations in this manual
Because Labrie Enviroquip Group is constantly updating its products, illustrations used in this
manual may differ from those of the actual product and accessories, depending on the model or
options that come with your vehicle.
Introducing the AUTOMIZER™
The AUTOMIZER™ is a straight-frame, side-loading vehicle, manufactured to the highest standards,
and designed to collect residential and commercial refuse and recycling materials. It is the ideal
choice for those who need reliability and quick route times built into one solid package. Thanks to its
fully automated design and its large hopper area, the A
UTOMIZER™ helps to keep overhead down
allowing for more time spent picking up and less time dumping.
The A
UTOMIZER™ has been developed based on years of experience and a wise choice of
components. Everything has been foreseen to achieve excellent reliability while keeping construction
simple yet robust.
The A
UTOMIZER™ features a strong, light-weight body with a reliable loading arm called the RIGHT-
H
AND™ arm. This arm can reach positions of up to 12 feet from the hopper and lift up to 1,000
pounds fully extended. The R
IGHT-HAND™ arm is easy to operate with an electric over hydraulic
joystick control, and the Zero-Grab low swing-out makes it easy to collect refuse in narrow spaces.
Multiplexed System
Labrie has equipped your AUTOMIZER™ unit with a CAN bus-based multiplexed system, which
integrates a monitor, a control panel, a joystick, and a set of electronic controllers. This whole system
has been designed to help you operate your unit in an efficient and easy way. Labrie’s multiplexed
system is reliable and safe and it requires less wiring harnesses to operate. It can also monitor various
function status of the body and display warning and caution messages.
Through its monitor (see Figure 1-1), Labrie’s multiplexed system informs you of any malfunctions
that may occur during the operation of the truck. Various caution and warning messages can be
displayed on the monitor, depending on the seriousness of the situation. Yellow-highlighted
messages indicate that caution should be used while red-highlighted messages indicate a warning
situation that must be dealt with quickly.
