One Grapple Truck - Multiple Containers - No Trailer.

The Petersen CP3 Lightning Loader® carries three 8-yard front-load containers in a single trip, allowing one truck to replace up to three traditional rear fork container delivery trucks.

That means fewer vehicles on the road and lower:
✔ Payroll costs

✔ Capital investment
✔ Insurance expenses

Work smarter, reduce operating costs, and maximize fleet efficiency with the Petersen CP3.
