SPECIALIST MINI COMPACTION VEHICLES FOR FOOD WASTE

MICRO XHD & MICRO L

We have over 25 years’ experience in manufacturing specialist food waste vehicles for the UK market, culminating in MICRO L and MICRO XHD with unique one-piece high-capacity bodies with a small footprint, specialised compaction systems, and maximum manoeuvrability.

Perfect for busy streets and hard to reach single track access, the 12-tonne MICRO XHD is big enough to stay out for longer, and compact to give ultimate agility in tight spaces.
A unique, top mounted sweeping compaction system maximises body volume.
