Isuzu and Envirocrush provide waste management in Sydney

Waste management company, Envirocrush, has partnered with Isuzu in a strong effort to clean up building and demolition waste in Sydney.

Envirocrush provides a unique mobile service that compacts waste in open-top skip bins while they’re sitting on site, maximising the amount of waste inside the skip and significantly reducing the number of runs to the tip as a result.

This is achieved through the use of a specially-made compact crushing arm and an Isuzu FRR 110-260 Auto.

According to Envirocrush General Manager, Elias Elias, the company’s choice in using an Isuzu model was based on its need for efficiency in its waste management value offering. The FRR 110-260 Auto now serves an indispensable role in the company’s efforts.

“This is our first heavy vehicle, and it’s the backbone of our mobile waste compaction unit and service,” he said.

“Efficiency is one of our key focuses. We want our customers to enjoy a more efficient waste management process to free up time and resources for their job at hand.”

The medium-duty Isuzu FRR 110-260 Auto, powered by a 6HK1-TCC turbocharged engine producing power of 191 kW (260 PS) at 2,400rpm, and features a torque of 761 Nm from 1,450 to 2,400 rpm.

The FRR also has a GVM of 11,000kg, offering ample payload to transport the specialised unit and the necessary counterbalance for the pressure outputted by the hydraulic arm during compaction.

The hydraulic arm itself, equipped with a heavy-duty spiked roller, is capable of crushing light construction waste, wooden pallets, scrap metal and general waste, and is also able to crush a fully loaded skip bin in an impressive five to ten minutes.

The technology for the arm was made available to Envirocrush by French manufacturer Packman System; the two companies became acquainted in 2023.

The FRR also boasts a neat kerb-to-kerb turning circle of 16.4 meters and a fully automatic Allison LCT2500 transmission, which provide both maneuvrability and smooth handling.

Elias and the Envirocrush team received this Isuzu with the help of the Gilbert & Roach Huntingwood truck dealership, which was instrumental in supplying the company with its FRR.

“From the initial purchase in 2023, Gilbert & Roach has been reliable and responsive to our needs,” he said.

“The support from the whole team at the dealership is vital to our business operations.”

Envirocrush’s service seeks to not only improve operational efficiency for its clients but also innovate the waste management industry as a whole –a goal that Isuzu’s FRR 110-260 Auto has contributed to.

“Even though we are just starting out, we would like to see other players in the waste industry adapt and offer similar compaction technology and services for skip bins,” Elias said.

“Competition will be good for opening up the market.

“Looking ahead to the next couple of years, we would like to expand our customer base and assist our current customers in enhancing their waste management practices.”
