K-PAC by New Way makes remarkably long-lasting compactors and containers

K-PAC by New Way Trucks offers a full line of self-contained and stationary compactors, as well as commercial containers with units for nearly every multi-family, commercial and industrial application. K-PAC’s compactor lineup boasts unrivaled longevity, unmatched compaction rates and features the deepest ram penetration in the industry.

It’s not often that equipment in our industry lasts considerably longer than what is considered standard, but New Way compactor and container brand K-PAC’s customers have come to expect just that. While bargain brands rely on foreign raw materials and componentry, all K-PAC equipment is entirely made in America using U.S.-graded steel. This adherence to quality without compromise has resulted in properly maintained units that some might consider obsolete still faithfully doing their jobs.

K-PAC manufacturing operations are strategically located in central Iowa with new facilities in Mississippi to minimize lead times and serve a growing customer base from coast to coast. K-PAC’s well-respected distributor network provides after-sales support and service throughout the United States.

K-PAC also offers a stocking program for customers needing equipment in a pinch. K-PAC’s stock inventory of large self-contained, front- and rear-load containers and apartment compactors is ready to deliver immediately.

Sister company New Way Trucks is well known for being the most customization-friendly refuse body manufacturer, and the same holds true for K-PAC’s product lineup.

Self-contained compactors

K-PAC’s self-contained compactor lineup features units with the largest clear-top chamber of any self-contained compactor in the industry, many exclusive features and options, high-tail designs ideal for dock and chute-fed applications and tall liquid retention heights that assure leakproof performance. In addition, K-PAC offers front- and rear-load units with low, 40-inch loading heights, automatically cycling packing panels and mushroom-stop safety features.

Using the same curved wall technology found in New Way Trucks, K-PAC compactors boast added strength, improved compaction, fewer air pockets, less potential for rust and leaks, as well as a lighter weight for more carrying capacity.

Stationary compactors

K-PAC’s stationary compactor lineup includes apartment compactors designed to do big jobs in small spaces, 2-cubic-yard “Stubby” units engineered to take up minimal space fitting snuggly against any structure, standard receiver boxes on compactors ideally equipped for solid waste and recyclables alike and a versatile compactor that works seamlessly with front-load, rear-load and roll-off systems that thrive in sites of any size.

Roll-offs

K-PAC heavy-duty rectangular and tub-style roll-offs are incredibly durable and come in a variety of configurations, including all standard rail with a main rail width of 36.25 inches, cable, hook-lift and dual lift. Twenty-, 30-, and 40-cubic-yard units are standard. Specialty 10- and 15-cubic-yard units are available by request.

Dumpsters

K-PAC rugged front- and rear-load dumpsters are built to last and are available for quick delivery.

  • Front-load dumpsters come in slant-top and flat-top configurations and are available in 2-, 3-, 4-, 6- and 8-cubic-yard sizes.
  • Rear-load dumpsters are available in 1.5-, 2-, and 4-cubic-yard sizes.
