Together, we enable you to ...

... run faster collection and transport cycles

Move more containers with fewer trips: PALFINGER container change systems (hookloaders and skiploaders) are designed for efficient movable-container workflows in waste and recycling operations.

... improve recycling output & recovery

Support sorting and recycling processes with consistent feeding, fast cycle times, and accurate placement. Keep materials moving smoothly through the yard for higher recovery rates.

... safer handling and faster route turnaround

A controlled lift reduces swinging, improves positioning, and helps keep the unloading zone predictable. This increases operational safety and enables faster, smoother turnarounds—especially in dense urban environments and high-frequency collection schedules.
