Hauler Benefits:

• The Vert-I-Pack (VIP) Vertical Compactor is designed to simplify compacted waste dumping, save driver time and substantially reduce maintenance cost. In fact, a front loader driver can attach and empty the container in less than 90 seconds.
• The new Reversible feature allows the unit to easily be converted to front or rear feed by moving the interchangeable bolt-on container stops. One compactor can be used for a variety of applications!*
• The telescoping legs allow the unit to adjust up or down to accommodate a 4, 6 or 8 cubic yard container. The VIP is now more versatile than ever!*
• Vertical compaction which eliminates all openings in the side of container from which waste material can leak or spill!
• Dumping is fast and easy because the refuse comes out of the same opening it went into!
• Elimination of more than a half ton of dead weight (compared to conventional self-contained compactors) which means fewer FL arm repairs.
• Location of the ram above the refuse which prevents trash and liquids from collecting behind the blade to foul up the cylinder or create damage when it freezes in the winter.
• Integral container guides which provide 3" vertical tolerance to make re-entry fast and easy!
• VIP Compactor makes dumping simple and quick. The illuminated green light is the driver's signal that the container is "ok" to be removed for dumping.
• Marathon's patented VIP-LOCK^® (Patent # 5025721) positive container lock-in device prevents container "walking." The container device "rides over" the compactor device as the truck moves the container into position. In the fully inserted position, the compaction force inside the container prevents the container from moving.
• The VIP uses more than 13 tons of crushing power forcing the ram 18” into the container. Between uses, the ram seals off the container and applies constant pressure on the refuse–increasing compaction and reducing spring-back.

User Benefits:

• Marathon's variety of "Low Profile" Vert-I-Packs range in size from 3 to 8 yards. These VIP's are available with feed heights as low as 44 7/8" and with front, rear or side feed.
• The VIP (your silent housekeeper) tidies up your refuse disposal area – no more of those unsightly open containers to draw scavengers and vermin, not to mention your local health inspector! Your refuse stays inside the unit, not strewn all over. You won't be paying for your neighbor's refuse – only your own – since the VIP is key operated for controlled usage.
• The VIP stores your waste in an ozone rich atmosphere (with optional ozonation device) which cancels repugnant odors and virtually eliminates insects and their larvae – even under the most demanding conditions. For estimating purposes, before survey has been conducted, a 4:1 compaction ratio is a good average. Much higher rations have been achieved in field test and will depend on the type of refuse being compacted.
• The VIP is a real space saver – more than 13 tons of crushing force reduce the contents of many open containers into 1 VIP container! Imagine the time saved by your hauler each time he picks up a VIP instead of all those open containers!
• The VIP has no heavy or clumsy lids to open and close – just a door that's as easy to open as your car door!
• The VIP controls employee pilferage – optional security kit (for rear feed and side feed units only) enables the unit to be fed from inside the building, eliminating the temptation to employees to put merchandise into a box, stash the box in the trash container and return at night to retrieve YOUR merchandise!
• The VIP saves time and worry for both you and your hauler by eliminating weekend overflow – your hauler doesn't have to schedule those expensive weekend pickups!

The compact design of the VIP FL/3 Portable Packer allows it to be used inside a building. The compaction container can then be rolled to a truck accessible area.
