Compactor FOB ranges by body volume and chassis, tender-file requirements, and the landed cost PSP operators should budget.
Compactor prices track two variables: body volume and chassis weight. A 5 m³ Foton on estate rounds and a 20 m³ HOWO on transfer runs are different trucks, different prices and different businesses.
FOB ranges by configuration (indicative)
| Configuration | Indicative FOB (USD) |
|---|---|
| 5 m³ compactor, Foton Forland/JAC light chassis | 13,000 – 19,000 |
| 8–10 m³ compactor, Dongfeng/Isuzu 4×2 | 22,000 – 32,000 |
| 12–15 m³ rear loader, Dongfeng 4×2 | 26,000 – 38,000 |
| 18–26 m³ heavy rear loader, HOWO/Shacman 6×4 | 32,000 – 48,000 |
Current factory listings cluster between USD 25,000 and 42,000 for the 8–18 m³ units most Nigerian PSP rounds use.
What moves the price
- Chassis brand — HOWO and Shacman carry a premium over Dongfeng and Foton, and parts availability in Lagos differs accordingly
- Bin-lift gear — 120L/240L/660L compatibility must match your LGA's bins; retrofitting a lifter costs more than ordering it
- Packer hydraulics — cycle time and crushing force decide rounds per day
- Sealing and sump — leak-proof tailgate seals matter on Nigerian roads and in tender inspections
Tender file, included
For LAWMA and state waste board bids we supply the technical file — specification sheet, hydraulics schematic, bin-lift certification — alongside the standard export pack. Ask for it with the quotation.
From FOB to Lagos
On a USD 30,000 FOB 12 m³ unit, all-in landed cost typically lands in the USD 39,000–47,000 range after freight, duty, levies, VAT and clearing — confirm current rates with your agent and get the landed-cost worksheet with your quote.
