Compact Bin Lift Build for Restricted Access Collection

This recent bin lift conversion is proof that small-scale doesn’t mean small-impact. Built on an Isuzu Grafter SWB chassis, this compact 3.5t tipper features an integrated 150kg low-height bin lift – perfect for accessing narrow streets, tight estates, and pedestrianised areas where a standard refuse vehicle simply can’t go.

Tailored for waste management tasks in space-restricted locations, this build supports practical daily use, while still delivering the safety and compliance expected of full-size fleets.
