Macpac Refuse Bodies is a UK manufacturer of specialist refuse collection vehicle bodies and bin lifting systems, supplying customers throughout the United Kingdom and Ireland.

Our range includes compact compaction bodies, rear-loading collection bodies, tipping and multi-stream bodies, standalone bin lifting systems and specialist equipment such as MacRinse.

Our equipment supports a wide range of applications including food waste, medical waste, general waste, glass, cardboard and other recycling materials.

Designing and manufacturing our own equipment gives Macpac control over the complete product.

Rather than treating every collection operation in the same way, we can configure bodies, chassis applications, compartments, lifters and additional equipment around the customer's waste streams and collection requirements.

It also means the people supporting Macpac equipment understand how it was designed, manufactured and intended to operate.

Designed and Built In-House

Our manufacturing capability is supported by specialist field service and aftersales coverage across the UK and Ireland, providing customers with support throughout the working life of their equipment.

Safety and compliance are fundamental to the design, manufacture and commissioning of Macpac equipment.

Our equipment is designed and manufactured in accordance with applicable EN 1501 standards and relevant machinery requirements for refuse collection vehicles and associated bin lifting equipment.

Equipment is inspected, tested and commissioned before delivery, with appropriate conformity and supporting documentation supplied.

Working directly with Macpac means access to the people who design, manufacture and support the equipment.

From initial vehicle and chassis specification through manufacturing, commissioning, operator training and ongoing maintenance, our aim is to provide practical specialist support throughout the equipment's working life.

Our Approach

We believe specialist equipment deserves specialist support.

Macpac focuses on practical engineering, straightforward customer relationships and equipment designed to perform reliably in demanding collection environments.

Our aim isn't simply to supply a vehicle or bin lifter. It's to help customers specify the right equipment for the application, maximise productivity, minimise downtime and achieve the longest practical working life from their equipment.
