Shantui has shipped a hydraulic trash compactor to a customer in Algeria, one of its newer offerings as a result of its product diversification.

SR32YR trash compactor is built with a fully hydraulic drive from Rexroth, which combines with electronic controls in the cab for smooth and precise operation. It is equipped with an 11m³ blade, ideal for levelling debris, and built with a Cummins 335hp engine.

The machine sold in Algeria is performing well with customers in the market, due to its reliable performance and ease of maintenance, and this particular shipment is one of five that have been exported to the region in the past year, said a spokesperson for the company.

The compactor is built with an enclosed machine frame, preventing solid materials from damaging key parts. The parts have a modular design to ease maintenance if faults occur. The ROPS-equipped cab is enclosed and fitted with an air filter and deodoriser, to provide a safe and comfortable environment for the operator.

The SR32YR is one of Shantui’s more recently developed products, and is an example of its commitment to both diversification and improvement of core technology.

In China, Shantui’s name has long been synonymous with the word ‘bulldozer,’ and the company is the world’s largest maker and seller of brand name dozers. Shantui has also extensively diversified its line of construction machinery and vehicles. The range includes wheel loaders, road rollers, truck cranes and motor graders, as well as forklifts, excavators and cement handling machinery.
