About Us

About Macpac Refuse Bodies

Our growing product range includes compact compaction bodies, rear and side loading refuse bodies, tipping and multi-stream collection bodies and the Maclifter range of single and double bin lifters, manufactured for both Macpac vehicles and other refuse body manufacturers.

Our products support the collection of food waste, medical waste, general waste, glass, cardboard and other recycling materials, with equipment configured around the waste stream, required payload, chassis and collection environment.

With body and chassis combinations ranging from compact 7.5-tonne vehicles through to 26-tonne chassis, Macpac helps operators find the right balance of payload, capacity and manoeuvrability.

Supported by our specialist aftersales operation across the UK and Ireland, we provide customers with support throughout the working life of their equipment.

Our Range

From complete refuse collection bodies to standalone bin lifting systems, Macpac provides specialist equipment for waste contractors, local authorities, fleet operators and vehicle body builders.

Why us

Why Choose Macpac

Macpac equipment is designed and manufactured in the UK, giving us control over the complete product and allowing equipment to be configured around different chassis, waste streams and collection requirements.

Chassis size is a fundamental part of specifying the right refuse collection vehicle.

Across the Macpac range, products can be fitted to chassis from 7.5t through to 26t, depending on the body and application.

Larger chassis generally provide greater potential for useful payload, while smaller chassis provide advantages in manoeuvrability and access.

Actual payload depends on the complete vehicle specification, including body, chassis, lifters, weighing systems and additional equipment.

Whether the requirement is for a compact 7.5t collection vehicle, a 12t RCV, a 16t food waste lorry or a larger multi-stream vehicle, our team can help match the body and chassis to the collection round.

Different collection operations require different equipment.

Across our wider range, Macpac provides solutions for food waste, medical waste, general waste, glass, cardboard and other recycling materials.

For operators collecting more than one material on the same round, our Mactip and Macpod ranges provide options for keeping multiple waste streams separate on one vehicle.
Vehicles can be supplied from the factory Ready to Work, with options including VWS bin or load weighing, vehicle graphics, Brigade safety equipment, safety lighting and other customer-specific equipment.
Our relationship with customers doesn't end when equipment is delivered.

Macpac provides specialist servicing, preventative maintenance, LOLER Thorough Examinations, technical support, genuine parts, repairs and refurbishment across the UK and Ireland.

Food Waste Collection

Food waste is one of the key applications for the Macpac range, alongside the other specialist waste and recycling streams we support.
Macpac offers both dedicated and multi-stream food waste collection solutions across a wide range of vehicle sizes.

Dedicated Food Waste Collection

The Macpac 65 provides a compact solution on 7.5t to 12t chassis, with food waste payload of up to 6 tonnes, depending on specification.

The Macpac 110 is available on 12t, 15t, 16t and 18t chassis, providing an 11m³ fully sealed body and food waste payload of up to 9.3 tonnes, depending on chassis and specification.

The Macrel 140 provides a 14m³ rear-loading solution on a 12t chassis, with integrated packing and ejector discharge.

Both the Macpac 110 and Macrel 140 can also be specified with MacRinse, providing integrated bin washing and rinsing as part of the collection operation.

Multi-Stream Food Waste Collection

Where food waste needs to be collected alongside glass or another separate waste stream, the Mactip range provides another approach.

Available across 7.5t to 26t chassis, Mactip tipping bodies can be configured with split and multiple compartments, allowing food waste and glass – or other appropriate waste streams – to be collected on the same vehicle while remaining separate.

Macpod can provide an additional fully sealed compartment for further multi-stream flexibility.

Collection and Bin Rinsing

For operators requiring bin cleaning as part of their service, the Macpac 110 and Macrel 140 can be specified with MacRinse, allowing containers to be emptied, washed and rinsed as part of the collection operation.

The separate high-pressure lance can also be used for washing down the vehicle body or dealing with spillages, providing crews with an additional onboard cleaning facility.
