All Precision Series compactors feature Wastequip’s 24-volt Guardian Control System with Automatic Maintenance Scheduling (AMS).

As with the 265XP and 265IP models, Wastequip’s state-of-the-art 245IP Precision Series Compactor is equipped with these features:
 
  • 24-volt Guardian Power Unit with AMS that alerts operators when maintenance is due and Watch Dog timer that prevents motor burnout;
  • heavy-duty ratchet binders with 1-1/4-inch thick hooks and greasable fittings;
  • controls with push-button start;
  • 57-second cycle time;
  • ultra-high molecular weight (UHMW) precision-guided ram glides smoothly;
  • large, removable rear and side access panels;
  • available in standard and HD models; and
  • backed by a three-year structural, one-year parts and one-year labor warranty. 
 
“Wastequip is extremely excited to introduce the third model of our Precision Series line—the 245IP two-yard stationary compactor,” says Kirk Warren, product manager for Wastequip’s containers and compactors division. “We’re confident that we’re bringing the world’s best compactors to market. After carrying out exhaustive research and competitive benchmarking, we invested in designing the Precision Series line as a family of application-specific compactors. This new model is compact and is perfect for handling dry waste.”

The company says the 245IP Precision Series Compactor is ideal for supermarkets, shopping malls, hospitals, office buildings and retail establishments.
