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 A
LLEY
-G
ATOR
R
IGHT
-H
AND
TM
The A
LLEY
-G
ATOR
R
IGHT
-H
AND
TM
is a straight-frame, side-loading
vehicle, manufactured to the
highest standards, designed to fully automate the collection of residential and commercial trash and
organics.
The A
LLEY
-G
ATOR
R
IGHT
-H
AND
TM
uses a special type of packing system that is perfect for organic
collection: the Pendulum Packer system.
Also, the A
LLEY
-G
ATOR
R
IGHT
-H
AND
TM
offers a wide array of features: its hopper is leak free, has no
blade and no clean-out door. The single stage packing cylinders are located outside the hopper protected
from trash and waste products. The Pendulum packing system eliminates trash “build-up” behind the
packing panel allowing the hopper to “self-clean”; hence no need for the operator to clean behind the
blade.
MDM Control Module
Labrie has equipped your A
LLEY
-G
ATOR
R
IGHT
-H
AND
TM
unit with a CAN bus-based MDM control
module which has been designed to help you operate your unit in an efficient and easy way. The
MDM control module monitors various function status of the body and displays many warnings as
well as other information such as the hours of operation of the A
LLEY
-G
ATOR
R
IGHT
-H
AND
TM
and
the number of bins emptied into the hopper.
The MDM control module is fully programmable. It has function and control buttons as well as a
graphical display which informs the operator of the status of the different functions of the truck and of
any potential problems.
If an error occurs, the module will warn the operator with a signal, and a message will appear on the
display screen.
All communication with the control system takes place from the MDM via the CAN-bus network.

The MDM Control Module comes in two types: one is fixed atop the doghouse, the other is
built in the doghouse (see Figure 1-1). Either type works the same.
