The Powerlink
Powerlink, modelled on the industry-standard Big Bite, provides flexibility to any RCV fleet.
The full-cycle compaction mechanism produces less friction than conventional channelled compaction systems, ensuring a greater force is directed into the load. The reduction of friction increases durability of materials, improving whole life costs.
| Feature | Benefit |
| Modelled on Big Bite swing link design. | Unrivalled reliability and performance. |
| The swing link mechanism eliminates slide blocks and sliding surfaces. | Reduces friction, allows contact area to be better protected. Low maintenance, less downtime. |
| Large hopper capacity. | 2.13m3 to handle bulky items. |
| Packer bearings & tailgate hinge greased from outside hopper. | Safe and easy maintenance. |
| Newly designed leak-free hydraulic system with 3 year guarantee. | Unique and unparalleled performance, reduced downtime, lower maintenance costs, less risk of environmental pollution and associated penalties. |
| Slide block/packer track design. | Low maintenance, less downtime, all wear parts easily changed in situ without major dis-assembly. |
| New curved shell. | Clean, uncluttered lines which enhance aesthetics and allow fitment of large customer decals without the need for sign boards. |
| Cylinders mounted with rods uppermost and case hardened. | Cylinder rods well protected and less susceptible to damage. |
| Proximity switches (no moving parts) built into blade ram. | Well protected - no adjustment necessary. |
| Hardened chrome plated pins and composite bushes used extensively | Less maintenance. Precision control. |
| Uncluttered hopper due to swing link design | Less damage to moving parts. |
| Loading mechanism programmed to work in unison with split Autolift | More efficient - helps prevent spillage with low level auto lifts. |
| Dual controls available as standard | Ease of operation. |
| 8mm abrasion resistant steel hopper floor | Durability. |
| Body floor 4.7mm high strength steel | Long life. |
| Front of body screened in with mesh | Protection to personnel from injury when operating ejector and prevents rubbish from collecting in engine area. |
| Body mount using all flexible components. | Prevents damage to body or chassis components in rough road or driving conditions. |
| Ejector rollers are replaceable without removing ejector plate. | Ease of serviceability. |
| All hydraulic pipes, fittings and fasteners are galvanised before being painted. | Prevents rust shortening the life or detracting from the appearance of your unit. |
| Separate hydraulic cylinders for tailgate locks. | Provide secure and positive latching of tailgate to prevent accidental openings. |
| Unique paint application process. | Rust resistant, more durable paint finish. |
| PLC well sealed against water ingress. | Certified IP65. |
| Three year Gold Star warranty supported by Nationwide Network Service. | Minimum downtime, quick response. |
| Training included in price. | Customer confidence in product knowledge. |
