Chassis Mounted Leaf Vacuum Trucks

Powerful, One-Person Leaf Collection Solution

Clearing leaves and debris can be time-consuming, but with the right equipment, the process becomes fast, efficient, and hassle-free. MTech’s chassis mounted and hooklift leaf vacuum trucks, built by ARM, are designed for high-powered, one-person operation, giving municipalities, contractors, and landscapers an all-in-one solution for leaf collection and debris removal.

Built on a Freightliner M2 106 commercial chassis with a 33,000-pound gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) and powered by an independent auxiliary vacuum power package separate from the drive engine, this rugged leaf vacuum equipment is positioned for citywide routes, storm cleanup and public works crews. 

Why Choose ARM Chassis/Skid-Mounted Leaf Vacuums?

Removing leaves from lawns can be a hassle-free endeavor with the correct equipment. Our chassis/hooklift leaf collectors have several advantages over other removal methods, ensuring maximum productivity and reliability for a variety of commercial and municipal applications. Some benefits include:

The Logan Clutch Advantage – More Power, Less Maintenance

Traditional leaf vacuums rely on belts, bearings, and manual adjustments, leading to constant wear and tear. ARM’s Logan Clutch is different:

  • Push-Button Auto Engage: No levers, belts, or complex startup procedures—just instant power transfer.
  • Self-Adjusting Design: No bearings or belts to replace, reducing maintenance costs and ensuring peak performance every time.
  • Direct Power to the Fan: Every ounce of horsepower is used for suction, instead of being wasted in belt slippage or energy loss.

This means stronger, more efficient debris collection, reduced downtime, and a machine that lasts longer than the competition.

True One-Man Operation 

  • 6-Way Remote Hydraulic Boom – Joystick-controlled from inside the cab for effortless one-man operation.
  • No Need for Extra Workers – Vacuum, collect, and transport debris in one step with a single operator.

Faster, More Productive Debris Removal

  • 24,200 CFM of Suction Power – With this kind of power, wet leaves, heavy debris, and mulch are handled with ease.
  • 74 HP Turbo Diesel KOHLER Engine – Built for long, high-intensity shifts without overheating or bogging down (and no DEF required!).
  • Direct Drive Over-Center Clutch System – Eliminates shock load damage, extending the life of the engine and fan system.
  • Faster Debris Removal – Vacuum, collect, and transport debris in fewer steps. Our all-in-one solution merges collection and transportation, eliminating unnecessary delays and improving productivity.

More Debris, Fewer Trips

  • 25 or 30-Cubic Yard Hopper Capacity – Store more debris and reduce unnecessary trips to disposal sites.
  • All-Steel, Welded Construction – Tough enough for municipal cleanup, landscaping, and commercial operations

Built to Last – Rugged, Low-Maintenance Design

  • 30-Inch Steel Fan with Six Blades – Statically and dynamically balanced to reduce vibration and wear.
  • 100% Robotically Welded Impellers – Ensures long-term durability and consistent performance.
  • Heavy-Duty Construction – Designed to withstand harsh conditions and heavy workloads

Applications:

  • ✔ Municipal street cleaning & leaf pickup
  • ✔ Large-scale landscaping and property maintenance
  • ✔ Parks, stadiums, and public spaces

Engineered for Maximum Performance

The ARM chassis/skid-mounted leaf vacuum is mounted directly onto a truck’s frame, lifting and storing debris in a high-capacity steel hopper. This system eliminates the need for multiple workers and multiple machines—one operator can collect and transport debris in a single trip.

ARM’s hooklift trucks offer an even more versatile solution. By mounting our popular leaf vac system onto a rolloff skid platform instead of directly to the truck frame, the chassis is freed up to swap out other popular skid attachments for year round use. When you are done with leaf collection, just swap out the leaf vac body for a dump body, flatbed, or any number of other convenient attachments without the need to purchase additional chassis for each.

Whether you’re responsible for municipal street cleaning, large-scale property maintenance, or commercial landscaping, MTech has the perfect chassis-mounted leaf vacuum solution to streamline your operations.

Core Features

ARM chassis-mounted and hooklift leaf vacuum trucks combine commercial-grade power with operator-focused design. The following features work together to deliver reliable one-person operation across demanding municipal and contractor applications.

Chassis and Operator Environment

The ARM system delivers the platform and comfort features municipal crews need for all-day productivity, including:

  • Freightliner M2 106 commercial chassis: Rated at 33,000 pounds GVWR, this foundation provides the structural integrity needed for demanding municipal routes.
  • Cummins 6.7L turbo diesel engine: This engine delivers 260 hp to move the truck efficiently through city streets and residential neighborhoods.
  • Allison 2500 automatic transmission: The automatic transmission ensures smooth, reliable power transfer across varying terrain and load conditions.
  • Premium dual high-back air suspension seats: These seats keep operators comfortable during extended shifts, reducing fatigue on routes that can stretch eight hours or more.
  • Air conditioning: Maintain a productive work environment, even during hot autumn collection days, with climate control.
  • Bluetooth connectivity: Use hands-free communication with dispatch or crew members.
  • Full power convenience features: Power windows, locks and mirrors streamline the operator experience and help your team stay focused on collection work.

Auxiliary Power System

What sets these ARM chassis-mounted and hooklift leaf vacuum trucks apart is the independent auxiliary power package, which includes:

  • 74 hp Kohler KDI 2504 Tier 4 Final turbo diesel engine: This engine runs separately from the drive engine. Since the auxiliary system engine dedicates its full output to vacuum performance, your collection system operates at peak capacity, whether the truck is stationary or on route.
  • Logan clutch system: The Logan clutch system transfers power efficiently through a push-button auto-engage mechanism that eliminates belts, levers and complex engagement procedures, with no bearings or belts to replace.
  • Heavy-duty pusher radiator fan: The radiator fan resists the debris buildup that clogs conventional cooling systems, keeping the auxiliary engine running at optimal temperature, even when pulling wet leaves and heavy material.
  • In-cab control console: Digital instrumentation and system monitoring give operators real-time feedback on engine performance and system status, allowing them to spot potential issues before they become failures.

Hooklift Option 

The hooklift option transforms seasonal equipment into a year-round fleet asset, maximizing your capital investment. This is an optional extra and it doesn’t come standard .
