Frequently Asked Questions

The Qube Products are an improved compaction method. It has never been practiced before commercially before now. The Qube Products compaction method is ideologically the opposite of modern refuse equipment design.

For compaction at a customer’s site our current equipment uses 3 phase 10-hp power. New installations can utilize single phase power. Current mobile refuse collection equipment, such as front loaders and rear loaders, use a power take off device from the engine rated at 60-80 hp. The Qube Trailer uses a mobile power unit with a 10-hp. motor.

Waste materials are emptied into the Qube Trailer using an opening at the top. The blade moves the material into the body and at the end of the cycle, the opening is sealed. The variables of airborne debris and open containers are a moot point.

​

This differs vastly from the process of emptying containers where waste materials from containers free fall while emptying into the front loader. Debris can become airborne. Also, there are times when the lids of the containers are left open and the container then becomes a source for birds and rodents to feed and move about uncontrolled.
