The Electric-Powered Ropax Mobile Compactor Makes Trash Compaction Easy

Epax Systems introduces the Ropax Mobile Compactor, which compacts waste in open-top containers and dumpsters with electric power. Unlike traditional diesel-powered units, the Ropax Mobile Compactor delivers zero on-site emissions and features quieter operation, lower operating costs, and reduced maintenance requirements. It uses two 12 kW (16HP) electric motors and a 26.2 kW lithium-ion phosphate rechargeable battery that deliver an average of nine hours of continuous compacting and container-moving power on a single charge. The battery recharges fully in 10 hours, supports 45-minute fast charging to 80% capacity, and has a 20-year/4,000-hour performance guarantee.

To operate, a worker simply drives the Ropax Mobile up to the end of an open-top container and deploys a two-ton rolling drum mounted on an articulating boom that moves from one end of the container and back, crushing contents as it goes. Operators can view the compaction process and determine how many crushing cycles are necessary. The operator cab is climate controlled for comfort and ergonomically designed.
