Available with three-yard front- and rear-load containers and four-, six-, or eight-yard front-load containers, the OptiPak features a nimble four-in-one head with 90-degree rotation, allowing for a full 360-degree pack.

The new four-in-one head can freely arrange the direction the top faces, according to Wastequip. The adjustable legs also offer additional versatility for shipping and on-site height adjustments.

The company added that the new OptiPak features an updated control panel and a new motor. The control panel has been streamlined from its previous design.

The OptiPak also incorporates Wastequip’s Automatic Maintenance Scheduler (AMS) into the power unit to alert operators when preventive maintenance is required. 

“The OptiPak compactor is the result of extensive industry benchmarking and listening to our customers to ensure we continue to offer compaction solutions. It is the small compactor that’s ready to do big work, combining adjustability and streamlined operation with legendary Wastequip toughness,” said Nick Daddabbo, director of product management for Wastequip. “The OptiPak is a uniquely agile compactor that provides efficient compaction where space is limited.”
