2 Introduction
Introducing the AUTOMIZERTM HELPING-HAND
IMPORTANT: Read and thoroughly understand this Operator’s Manual before using the vehicle.
The AUTOMIZERTM HELPING-HAND is a straight-frame, side-loading vehicle, manufactured to the
highest standards, and designed to collect residential and commercial refuse and recycling materials.
This vehicle is a modified version of the standard Labrie A
equipped with a H

Also, this arm is easier to maintain than the R

On the productivity side, the A

HELPING-HAND can make 180 pickups per hour on
average thanks to its auto-packing functionality.
The A

HELPING-HAND also comes with the electronic multiplexed system designed to
make the collection process more efficient and the troubleshooting process more orderly and
manageable.
Once the body of the A

The AUTOMIZERTM HELPING-HAND is equipped with an automated arm (Figure 1-5) controlled by
the operator using the in-cab joystick.

Another version of the AUTOMIZERTM comes with an optional lifting bucket instead of a HELPING-

AND
gripper assembly. This bucket may be used for manual collection of residential waste,
recyclables and organics. It is controlled using either the in-cab joystick or the packer control station
located next to the right-hand side folding door.
Figure 1-2
Body’s main components are the hopper (Figure 1-3), the packer (Figure 1-3), the 2 packer cylinders
(Figure 1-4), the crusher panel (Figure 1-3) and the tailgate (Figure 1-5).
The hopper is the area of the body where the waste is dumped. The packer is the piece of equipment
that pushes the waste into the body. Retraction and extension of the packer are made possible by 2
double-acting cylinders. The crusher panel is used to crush large pieces of waste materials. The
tailgate is the rear door that prevents waste from exiting the body during collection. At landfill site, the
tailgate is fully raised to enable the discharge of the waste.
