Curbtender - Model Quantum -Small Rear Loader
The Quantum is the US Waste Industry’s favorite small rear loader. It’s unique packing mechanism utilizes a patented “swing panel” instead of a “slide panel.” This key design change allows the packer to clear more trash in a shorter amount of time and with a smaller hopper requirement. The net result is a faster, lighter rear loader with industry leading legal payload. It’s hopper is also wide enough to receive commercial rear load containers without the use of a “flared hopper” modification. The Quantum is rated for high compaction, making it a mighty little packer!
Fast Packing
When paired with the proper engine and transmission, the Quantum can quickly complete its pack cycle in as little as 13 seconds. This is thanks to its unique patented packing mechanism which utilizes a “swing” design rather than “slide” design. As a result, the Quantum can process up to 4.5 cubic yards of trash in one minute.
High Compaction
The Quantum leads its industry peers with a compaction rating as high as 1,000 pounds per cubic yard when properly spec’d.
Legal Payload
Thanks to its unique tailgate design and body weight, the Quantum has the industry’s best weight distribution and legal payload capacity for small rear loaders.
Fuel Efficient
The Quantum’s lighter weight body and faster cycle times create less power demand on the truck chassis compared to its peers; helping keep fuel costs in check.
Flexible Options
Quantum units can also be equipped with many available options such as:
- Variety of Cart Tipper Models and Brands
- Roll Bar for Commercial Container Collection
- 4,000 LB Hydraulic Drum Winch for Commercial Container Collection
- Hardox Hopper Liner Kit
- Optional Hooklift Mounting
Capacity
Quantum is available in 6, 8 or 10 cubic yard models. Need more capacity? Check out the Quantum MD or Quantum XL which offers larger cubic yard models.
Chiseled Body
Curbtender’s unique chiseled body side wall adds increased strength compared to a roll formed side wall. The result is a more durable, longer lasting body that can withstand the Quantum’s high compaction forces.
Curved Floor
Curbtender’s unique floor design provides liquid sump.
Rust Resistance
Curbtender utilizes a highly durable zinc based prime coat on its Quantum to give customers superior rust resistance over the life of their truck. Curbtender’s top coat paint has industry leading hardness, chip resistance, and chemical resistance. Competitors use automotive style finishes which simply don’t hold up for customers in winter climates, or operating on gravel roads, or near the ocean.
Commercial Containers
The Quantum is purpose built to accept commercial dumpsters. Its 70” wide tailgate width allows efficient collection of small commercial dumpsters without worry of trash overflowing or slow loading. Competitor models frequently use a “hopper flare” to accommodate dumpsters on their smaller tailgate.
Tailgate Clearance
The unique design of the Quantum tailgate allows the operator to traverse up to a 15 degree incline. This superior ground clearance on the tailgate ensures less scraping of the road surface than its competitors.
Bumper Pads
The Quantum comes equipped with large rubber bumper pads when commercial container handling options are selected. This ensures the packer can take the years of abuse created by collecting dumpsters.
Auto Lock
No more messing with turnbuckles at the landfill. The Quantum features an auto-locking tailgate which securely tightens the tailgate against the body seal.
Dual E-Stop
Curbtender has implemented dual emergency stop switches as standard on the tailgate of all Quantum models.
Tailgate Guards
As an option, Curbtender can provide tailgate side guards to further separate the operator from the load sill, packing panel, and debris.
MOL System
For Canadian customers, or those desiring two-hand operation, Curbtender has multiple MOL (Ministry of Labor) safety control systems available.
Camera System
All Quantum units come equipped with a rear back up camera as a standard option. Units can be equipped with rear view color camera systems as an optional feature.
Lights
As an option, Quantum units can be equipped with a wide variety of LED strobe lights and work lights.
