Easy Loading/Unloading
Kyokuto Kaihatsu newly releases “4-ton New Style Garbage Collector.”
Kyokuto Kaihatsu Kogyou Co., Ltd. (Head office: 6-1-45, Koshienguchi,
Nishinomiya-shi, Hyougo Prefecture, President of the company: Mr. Katsushi
Tanaka, Manufacture and Sales of Special Purpose Vehicles andEnvironmental Equipments and Systems) developed a new model (brandname: “Press Pack”) of 4-ton press type garbage collector lately, and will puton the market from February 1, 2006.
From this new model, in addition to the curved surface body of the conventionalmodel, the tail gate also adopted the curved surface, and made it the design
which renews an image. Moreover, preeminent working efficiency wasrealized by carrying a full load of a mechanism which is original with Kyokuto
Kaihatsu. With its introduction into the market, we expect to attain the market
share of 25 % through our continuous sales promotion by the end of fiscal year
2007 (the term ended March, 2006: 20 % <the 3rd place of a domesticshare>) in the garbage collector market.
* A share is based on investigation of our company.
There are “press type” and “rotating plate type” in garbage collectors. A “presstype” is a system which compresses garbage with one plate reducing thevolume of garbage. Accordingly, even a large volume of garbage can beloaded. A “rotating plate type” is a system loaded while rotating two plates,
and is suitable for loading household garbage (packed in a bag).
●Characteristics(1) Easy loading/unloading:
The widest input slot of the industry of 4-ton vehicle class
The top of the industry
We secured the widest input slot width (1,710 mm) of the 4-ton class.

(40 mmwider than our company’s conventional.) This realized the fast efficiency
increase of loading work of garbage.
Moreover, the angle of aperture of the tail gate is increased by 5 degrees
compared with former at the time of discharging garbage and thus discharge
work of garbage can be performed by far more smoothly.
(2) Loading weight increase
Loading weight of domestic top class realized.
Various improvements were performed in order to collect much garbage
efficiently.
1) Improvement of a discharge board automatic retreat mechanism
Patent under application
The switch which changes the speed of discharge board automatic retreat
according to the kind and work situation of garbage was equipped as standard.
Thereby, garbage can be high-compressed according to a situation and thevolume can be reduced.
2) Improvement of an inching mechanism
The inching mechanism for compressing garbage with a press plate wasimproved. Thereby, press power increases and garbage can be compressedmore now.
3) The increase of the body capacity by design change body
Each model capacity: Increase by 0.2 m3.
4) Press power increase by 20% by improvement of press cylinder
20% of press power increase(3) Friendly to environment
Improvement of work environment by original mechanism of Kyokuto Kaihatsu
The following improvements were added in order to prevent leakage of sewage
or a bad smell.
1) Epoch-making improvement of the stiffener form of the rear body
Patent under application
Form of stiffener for guiding sewage to a sewage tank is improved. Thisreduced scattering of sewage to a large extent.
2) Newly adopted all circumferential 360-degree tail gate seal rubber.
Patent under application
Seal rubber of the tail gate was made into all the circumferential 360-degree.
This made it possible to prevent sewage from scattering from the top cornerand from leakage of the bad smell.
By these improvements, sewage and a bad smell leak were almost lost andbecame more environment-friendly.
●Selling price
Recommended retail price to users: 4,523,000 yen to 5,795,000 yen(including tax) (Chassis price is excluded.)* The price changes with body capacity (7.0 m3 to 12.2 m3).
●Sales target
350 units per year
