Parameters depend on the configuration; final values are fixed in the specification annexed to the contract.

This 18-tonne rear-loading compactor is configured for sanitation departments and waste contractors running high-volume residential routes. The 14 m³ sealed body carries a rated payload of 6.5 t within an 18,000 kg gross vehicle weight on a 4×2 Euro 6 diesel chassis, with a 5,800 mm wheelbase suited to town and city streets.

Household waste is loaded through the rear hopper by the hydraulic filling mechanism and compressed at a ratio of 1:2.8 to 1:3.2, so a full body holds about three loose loads of the same volume — fewer trips per route and a cleaner street operation. A complete load discharges in thirty seconds or less at the transfer station. The bin lifter is matched to the container size and lifting height used on your routes before production.

As a factory build from CLW Group, the body volume, chassis brand, bin-lifter type and optional equipment are configured against the route requirement and fixed in the written specification. Export documents are prepared for the destination market, and units ship as complete vehicles by RO-RO or secured on flat-racks via Lagos, Tema, Mombasa and Dar es Salaam, with land delivery quoted for landlocked markets. Spare parts packages are quoted together with the truck.
