Doghouses

Marathon's Stationary or Self-Contained Compactors equipped with a Doghouse with Side Door is ideal for ground loading applications. This type of hopper offers a totally enclosed charge box and a lockable door latch for added control and security. Requires access interlock.

The door can be placed on the left, right side or both sides for convenient loading. The Doghouse Unit can be furnished “knocked down” and prime painted, completely assembled for mounting and prime painted, or already mounted and painted the same finish as the packer. Requires access interlock.

A Doghouse with Rear Door shown on a Marathon RJ-250SC Roll-Off Self-Contained, is ideal for applications where the unit is picked up at the packer end and space limitations may prevent loading from the side. Requires access interlock.

The Barn Door or Storm Cellar Door style Doghouse is available in side feed, rear feed (pictured), or both, to accommodate your particular loading needs. It can be used on the Dual Recycling Compactor (DRC II) when two separate feed openings are required. Requires access interlock.

The Mailbox Style Doghouse is a Marathon innovation that is ideal for apartment complexes and convenience centers. The hopper door pulls down similar to a mailbox for loading. The compactor automatically cycles after the hopper door has been opened and closed six times. The RJ-250SC with Mailbox Doghouse shown is installed at an apartment complex.

The Telescoping Chute/Doghouse is another Marathon innovation that was designed for self-contained compactors installed in an enclose. The chute "telescopes" out for loading and retracts for transport to the landfill. The RJ-250SC Self-Contained with Telescoping Chute shown is installed at an apartment complex. The chute extends to the wall of the enclosure. Tenants load waste through a access door on the outside of the enclosure.
