The register lists a five-cylinder engine of 9,291 cm³. Against a kerb weight of 14,660 kg and a gross vehicle weight of 26,500 kg, this leaves a payload of around 11,840 kg. The vehicle is 9,800 mm long, 2,550 mm wide, has a wheelbase of 5,300 mm and runs on eight wheels; its permitted top speed is given as 90 km/h.
The name Variopress points to a versatile compaction body for waste collection, fitted to chassis in this weight class to compact household or bulky waste. The eight-wheel chassis with a 5,300 mm wheelbase provides the axle-load reserve needed for the compaction body and its load during daily collection rounds. Driving a vehicle in this class requires at least licence category C.
When buying a used refuse-collection vehicle with a compaction body, the condition of the hydraulic system for the hopper and press, the seals on the compaction chamber, and the function of the safety devices at the hopper matter most. Add to that corrosion on the frame and body caused by leachate, and a check of the braking system under the heavy daily load of stop-and-go operation.
