Our contracts are designed to keep your compactor performing at its best, with regular inspections and expert guidance that minimise downtime and extend the life of your equipment. By choosing our Zoeller service contracts, you invest in a proactive maintenance strategy that enhances the value and longevity of your compactor.
Material quality and structural integrity
Optimal material choices
Selecting the right materials is crucial for extending the lifespan of your compactor and lowering maintenance costs. For the hopper, 8mm Hardox steel is ideal due to its superior resistance to wear and corrosion, surpassing the standard 4mm steel in durability. Similarly, a 5mm Hardox steel compactor floor provides a good balance between toughness and cost efficiency.
Structural reinforcement
Incorporating reinforced ribs throughout the compactor structure offers critical support for handling intense compaction forces. This reinforcement is essential for achieving high payloads and prolonging the equipment’s operational life.
Hydraulic system and maintenance
Efficient hydraulic system
Proper performance hinges on a well-matched hydraulic system and control valves. Mismatched components can lead to inefficiencies and increased maintenance needs. Opt for bearings that are easily accessible for manual or automatic lubrication to avoid the high costs associated with replacement. Self-greasing bearings, while convenient, can be challenging to maintain if they fail.
Corrosion prevention
Effective corrosion control involves a thorough process, starting with shot blasting and followed by applying a high-grade undercoat and final paint coat. This multi-step approach provides robust protection against rust and greatly extends the compactor’s service life.

Detailed service and maintenance guidelines
Lubrication
Proper lubrication is critical for maintaining compactor functionality. For units in daily use, lubricate all moving parts, including cylindrical roller bearings, support plate systems, tailgate hinges, drive shafts and ejector plate guide rails. Follow the service manual’s lubrication schedule, clean grease nipples before application and ensure thorough greasing of all bearings.
Hydraulic system
Perform visual inspections to identify leaks and check the condition of tubing and cables. Regularly monitor oil levels and quality, noting any discolouration or deposits. Replace the return filter insert with each oil change and use an external circulation filter periodically. Conduct pressure checks to verify the proper operation of the compaction mechanism and pressure switches.
Structural inspections
Regularly assess the compactor’s structural components. Examine the superstructure for signs of corrosion or deformation and check the condition of retaining joints and buffers. Inspect the ejector plate system for wear, ensuring cleanliness and lubrication. Review the tailgate, safety legs and locking mechanisms for proper function.
Electrical system
Maintain the electrical system by inspecting cables for damage and ensuring secure fastening. Test control blocks, proximity switches and control panels for functionality. Verify that all lighting systems, including turn signals and work lamps, are operational.
Safety devices
Regular checks of safety devices are crucial for reliable operation. Inspect warning stickers, collision avoidance systems and emergency shutdown mechanisms. Ensure safety legs and step monitoring systems are in good working order.
