By Categories: NewsPublished On: Thursday 1 May 2025

Dennis Eagle has unveiled the Olympus Midi, a versatile and compact refuse collection vehi­cle body for the 12-16 tonne cat­egory, including popular chassis from DAF and Renault Trucks.

The 2025 Olympus Midi is offered in three variants with ca­pacities of 9.8 m³, 10.8 m³ and 11.8 m³. Thanks to its wheel­base starting at just 3.25m, and width of 2,350mm for the DAF variant, the Olympus Midi offers a tight turning circle said to make it ideal for navigating congested streets or rural lanes.

The body is constructed from hard wearing materials, includ­ing Hardox 400 steel. The Midi has a compactor speed of 17 seconds, says Dennis Eagle, and the widest tailgate hopper in its class.

Design elements, such as a short rear overhang, have re­duced weight and help to enable a maximised payload capacity, says the manufacturer. Opera­tors can choose from multiple bin-lifting configurations, and the Midi also features new LED lighting to ensure that operators and the vehicle itself are always clearly visible.

Dennis Eagle’s sales and mar­keting manager, Lee Rowland, said: “With its compact size, advanced technology and indus­try-leading durability, the Olym­pus Midi is a welcome addition to our family.”
