Waste Compaction Trailer

Waste Compaction Trailer

A waste compaction trailer is a specialised type of trailer designed for the efficient transportation and disposal of solid waste, such as rubbish or recyclable materials. Melbourne Hydraulics has extensive experience working with a wide range of compaction trailers, including trusted brands like Wastetech, Hamelexwhite, and Kennedys Trailers.

Waste compaction trailers demand a substantial volume of hydraulic oil to operate the ejection cylinder effectively. As a standard practice, we recommend a hydraulic tank with a capacity of 400 litres. To maximise uptime and minimise potential damage, all our hoses are fully spiral guarded. This added layer of protection prevents rub-through and damage, providing you with a reliable and durable hydraulic system.

Our commitment goes beyond providing hydraulic solutions; we also have extensive knowledge and capabilities in installing the specialised controls required to operate these trailers efficiently. With Melbourne Hydraulics, you not only receive top-quality hydraulics but also benefit from our in-depth knowledge and capabilities in ensuring the seamless operation of these specialised trailers.
