MORE REFUSE IN LESS SPACE / THE INDUSTRY'S ONLY FULL-WIDTH COMPACTORS
Whenever tons of trash have to be packed into the finite space of a landfill, it's not just the weight of the compactor that counts. It's how that compactor applies its weight—the actual force it exerts.
Terex Trashmaster Landfill Compactors put their weight to the task like no others. That's because: 1) they're the industry's only full-width compactors...the result of a unique wheel configuration, and 2) they pack more PLI power than any other compactors out there. *PLI stands for "Pounds Per Linear Inch," which is how compaction force is measured.
Let's start by examining the triangular wheel configuration. This is what enables the TC400 to compact an area equal to its wide footprint. In other words, it compacts everything under it, front to back, side to side, in a single pass. Conventional compactors, by comparison, leave an uncompacted "gap" area in the middle of their footprints. You can blame their wheels being located at the four corners of their frames for that. Result? Multiple passes are required to compact a single run. But with a TC400 and its triangular wheel pattern, one pass will do it. The machine's weight is distributed equally, resulting in greater compaction densities than other compactor provide couple.
the TC400's triangular wheel pattern and its high-density compaction force with its available operating weight—80,000-plus pounds (36,287-plus kilograms)—and you've got the greatest compaction force in the industry. That's what PLI is all about: It's the power to pack more refuse into your landfill and the power to increase density levels, as well as your revenue and your bottom line. And the TC400 has the highest PLI rating of any machine in its class.
Ultimately, this machine outperforms other compactors because it was designed by Terex specifically for the compaction of trash. It's not just a converted bulldozer or loader outfitted with compactor wheels. What's more, it's been around: No other compactor has as long history of industry aacceptance and use.
