• A new refuse collection vehicle, one of the largest available in Great Britain, will be displayed at the 71st annual conferenceexhibition of the Institute of Public Cleansing, at Harrogate train June 16-20.
The Eagle Compressload 7, exhibited by Hanger Engineering of Warwick, has a 7-ton payload which is compressed into a body with internal measurements of 10ft 9in. long, 7ft 8in, wide and 5ft 4in. high.
The new high capacity, combined with compact size, is claimed to increase working time between trips for discharge while retaining good manoeuvrability. As with earlier models—Compressload 3 and 5—the principle of ram ejection without tipping the body makes for safety at the tip.
At the exhibition the Compressload 7 will be shown on a Ford 01000 chassis with a 179in. wheelbase. It can also be mounted on most leading makes of chassis.
