For around 6 months now, twelve new STUMMER vehicles have been on the road for Brantner green solutions – customised to meet the needs of the Krems-based waste management company’s circular economy.

Twelve vehicles in 24 months – we can easily manage that anyway! But the STUMMER team is a little proud of these. Because the MEDIUM XL and X4 for Brantner green solutions are by no means off-the-shelf products. “We customised them to meet Brantner’s individual needs,” explains STUMMER Production Manager Robert Streif. In general, the collaboration with Brantner has been a very fruitful one for years and is characterised by an ongoing exchange of experience and many reciprocal impulses.

Brantner green solution has now expanded and modernised its fleet with the collection heroes for a wide variety of applications. The delivered fleet includes two-, three- and four-axle vehicles with different types of containers: from 120-litre containers to 7-cubic metre skip containers, but also a beam container for hand loading of bags as well as vehicles with ZOELLER Delta automatic lifters, which empty 2-wheel containers particularly efficiently.

Laser without show, but with a lasting effect

Our laser-controlled payload optimisation system is an eco-hero in a class of its own. In all MEDIUM X2 and X4 of the new generation, it controls the discharge wall and regulates the pressure. The result: ideal, homogeneous compaction of the collected recyclables. The ejection plate is readjusted with every load. This means that the payload can be increased by 20 per cent when collecting fractions such as plastic and lightweight packaging. At the same time, the hydraulic pressure for compaction has been reduced by 30 per cent. This is not only much more economical, but also more ecological. The higher payload means that fewer collection journeys are needed to cover a disposal area, which also reduces CO₂ emissions and fuel consumption. Robert Streif: “That pleases us, the waste disposal company, the customers and especially the environment.”
