Paired with an Allison 5-speed automatic gearbox, the Mini Olympus 8 delivers smooth, responsive handling and reliable operation, even in stop-start traffic conditions. Inside the cab, operators benefit from practical features such as a USB radio, halogen headlights, and a rear-view camera system for enhanced safety and convenience.

At the heart of this vehicle is the Dennis Eagle Mini Olympus 8 body, offering an impressive 8.0m³ hopper volume and a robust 6:1 compaction ratio—allowing it to handle demanding waste collection operations efficiently. Designed with a Ros Roca integral bar lift capable of lifting up to 500kg, the vehicle supports one-man operation and a rapid 15-second cycle time, helping to maximise productivity on every route.

Despite its powerful capabilities, the Mini Olympus 8 operates with low noise levels, making it suitable for early morning or residential collection schedules.
