Waste equipment manufacturer Garwood International has targeted its range of rear, side and front loaders toward kerbside and municipal waste collection.
Since its establishment more than 40 years ago, Garwood International has continued to design and manufacture elite refuse compactors, expanding and adapting to the industry, particularly the move towards sustainability.
The Garwood International product range is one of the largest of any waste equipment manufacturer in Australia and caters to large-scale commercial collections through to rural communities and everything in between.
It has been recognised for its excellence time and time again, nominated for the Premier’s New South Wales Export Awards six times and named the LGP (local government procurement) Approved Contractor of the Year in 2020 – beating out 900 registered businesses for the award.
Garwood was also presented with an innovation award from the Australasian Waste and Recycling Expo (AWRE) following the success of its Miner rear loader unit.
The award-winning Garwood Miner known as the “world’s smallest rear load truck” is the smallest rear load compactor body available in Australia, and is used for residential and commercial waste and recycling collections from laneways and basement car parks as low as 2.1 metres.
It has a maximum cab plus body height of only 2080 millimetres, catering for a range of bin capacities, from 120 litres up to 1100 litres, while also having a fast compaction cycle.
Adapting to industry
Kerbside segregation has become an important aspect to garbage collection, which is why Garwood developed its DualPact unit.
The DualPact rear-loader unit features two chambers, allowing for the simultaneous collection of two different waste streams. Available in 50/50, 60/40 or 70/30 capacity splits, it provides operators with a range of benefits, including reduced operating costs and time required for a collection by offering one solution for waste which would usually require two separate trucks.
The Bantam series full width rear loading refuse compactor body is available in four, five or six cubic metre body sizes and is suitable for councils and contractors, parks and gardens and street litter clean-ups, while the compact eight cubic metre body is suitable for collection runs in urban centres or public places.
It is designed for payloads of three to four tonnes (dependent on cab chassis and options). The Powapact comes with body sizes from 10 to 16 cubic metres and payloads from four to six tonnes (dependent on cab chassis and options). Its powerful compaction force is suitable for larger volume general and commercial waste runs.
For biggest runs, the Maxipact comes into its own – capable of payloads of up to 10 tonnes. Maxipact body sizes range from 16 to 28 cubic metres and are best suited to 6×4 chassis configurations.
Common applications for the large Maxipact include hard waste collections and commercial waste runs.
Garwood side loaders take on all the needs of waste collection that rear loaders cannot. Both compactors are designed for domestic waste collection where space is minimal, and hazards are in abundance.
Side-loaders reduce the possibility of near misses, where operators could encounter any number of hazards including pedestrians, cyclists, push bikes, and parked cars.
The LitterPact is suited to smaller spaces such as parks and gardens, or smaller communities including remote or regional areas. The light body means it can access all roads a conventional 4WD can.
Rounding out the range, Garwood’s Razorbak Front Loader, built in multiple sizes from 28 to 34 cubic metres, can fit on all 6×4 or 8×4 cab chassis and is suitable for single person operation on commercial collections.
