6 CUBIC METRE COMPACTOR

6 Cubic Metre Standard Photo

The standard 6 Cubic Metre Compactor is equipped with the latest RUSS Type 202 Binlifter narrow profile Binlifter, manual rear doors, Safety Interlock devices, spare tyre carrier mounted on rear mudguard and an unparalelled record for reliability and cost benefits.

The RUSS Minipactor was originally designed around fifteen years ago as a "bullet proof" compactor for use in remote communities operating in some of the harshest and most remote conditions in Australia. Success in meeting these requirements has seen the RUSS Minipactor evolve into one of the most versatile small side loading garbage compactors on the market today.

We are extremely proud of the fact that the Russ Minipactor Mk4 is a fully Australian made unit with an enviable reputation of providing maximum value to the waste industry. We believe these units provide the most cost effective, reliable solution currently available, in the Australian market, for Local Councils and Communities.

Proven reliability and possibly the lowest Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) around makes this a very attractive proposition for any organisation looking to provide high levels of service with minimal equipment costs.

Simple compactor operations with no electronics makes the RUSS Minipactor extremely simple to operate with minimal training requirements. Operators very quickly master the simple, safe operating environment techniques providing rapid increase in productivity and efficiency.

One organisation was able to bring the garbage collection time down from 8 hours to 2.5 hours.

A hydraulic pump sent for service after 8 years in service was found to still have the machining marks visible on most working parts.

The curved sides, radiused corners and fully welded seams have provided for an exceptionally strong and reliable body. Special manufacturing and painting processes ensure the unit not only resists environmental corrosion but looks good for a long time.

It is a fact that a number of our customer have fitted their RUSS Minipactor to more than one vehicle before purchasing a new one.

Our standard Compactor has, as a minimum, the following features.

  • Our unique, fully fabricated, compaction/ejection system provides full, even compaction with minimal refuse bypass;
  • Special care and procedures during the manufacture and finishing processes enhance service life through reduction in corrosion collection points;
  • There is no loss of stability when unloading the compactor on uneven or poorly compacted surfaces;
  • Our lightweight compactor body, Binlifter and mounting systems provides one of the best payloads available;
  • Special, low maintenance, materials are used in the "working" areas of the system;
  • Standard safety Interlocks easily surpass the requirements of Workplace Health and Safety Regulations;
  • Minimum training and/or experience is required to safely operate the RUSS Minipactor;
  • Training can be provided on site or at our works in Brisbane;
  • Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) is reduced with no electronics in our systems thus reducing maintenance costs;
  • Your Return On Investment (ROI) is generally better than industry average, with up to fifty (50) per cent of the original purchase price realised for well maintained units;
  • Most common spare parts are normally available from local suppliers ensuring faster turnarounds, less downtime and reduced maintenance costs as well as supporting your local suppliers;
  • RUSS Minipactor's are covered by our full 12 month warranty. Full details are available on request.

As well as the standard compactor range we also manufacture a wide range of "Special" RUSS Minipactors.

Customer Feedback has seen the development of a wide range of accessories and optional equipment become available across the full range of our Minipactor equipment.

The resale value of our units is above Industry average, with some units realising over fifty (50) percent of their original purchase price.

The RUSS Minipactor has an unequalled reliability record and spends far more time working than any other compactor on the market. The actual working cost per kilometre is far lower than its' nearest competitor.
