Magnum X1 – The “Powerhouse” in Action

There are some vehicles you see just once—and instantly know: this one gets the job done. When a sofa is blocking the sidewalk or an old wall unit is left out for bulky waste, you need a truck that doesn’t just pick it up, but compacts it efficiently, too. That’s exactly what the Magnum X1 was built for.

Since its debut at IFAT 2024, the Magnum X1 has logged countless hours in demanding real-world use—moving ton after ton and proving that it doesn’t just look impressive, it delivers.

On route after route, whether in residential neighborhoods or industrial zones, the X1 has shown exactly what it was built for: lifting commercial waste and bulky loads, breaking them down, and compacting them to maximize payload. In endurance testing, it proved its worth with rugged construction and long-lasting performance—earning its nickname, “the powerhouse.”

Every hour on the job brought valuable feedback from the crews, which was fed directly into further development. The result: a vehicle fine-tuned in every detail to perform reliably, even under continuous operation.

Powerful in Action
The X1 has truly earned its nickname, “the powerhouse.” It tackles bulky loads that push other systems to their limits—from mattresses and doors to commercial waste and even entire pieces of furniture. An optimized crushing edge minimizes splintering, which not only improves safety for employees but also makes emptying easier further down the line.

Compared to its predecessor, the Magnum XXL, the X1 delivers a higher optimized payload, increased robustness, and greater container volume—all while keeping the same wheelbase.

Built for Everyday Use
Day-to-day operations quickly reveal where small design choices make a big difference. Deposits on guide and press plates, for example, can bring work to a halt. The X1’s closed design prevents such interruptions from the start. Its redesigned hydraulic system also shines in practice: efficient, energy-saving, and already engineered to integrate alternative drive systems with ease.

A real-world example: during a bulky waste collection in a densely built neighborhood, the X1 managed several additional loads in a single day—without needing backup from a second vehicle. The result? Time, cost, and resource savings across the board.

Flexible by Design
The Magnum X1 isn’t a one-trick specialist—it’s an all-rounder. In the bulky waste version, it handles oversized loads with ease. Outfitted with a commercial lifter, it proves its strength in industrial and commercial waste collection. And for those needing even more volume, the H version offers a body 200 millimeters higher.

This flexibility makes the X1 a natural fit in the Magnum family, where variable body designs allow fleets to adapt seamlessly—from flexible deployment planning to the use of alternative drive systems.

Balance of Power and Reliability
What makes the Magnum X1 stand out is its perfect balance of strength and dependability. It’s built tough enough to perform with confidence even after long workdays, efficient enough to deliver real-world results, and flexible enough to adapt to a wide range of applications. For crews in the field, that translates into fewer interruptions, fewer technical issues, and greater efficiency on every route.

A true partner in daily operations—a powerhouse you can count on.

The Magnum X1 reflects ZOELLER’s philosophy: technically advanced, field-proven, and sustainable. It brings together durability, efficiency, and adaptability—demonstrating just how much uptime modern technology can deliver. A genuine workhorse for today’s waste logistics.

Efficiency in Detail
The X1 is not only robust—it’s smart:

  • More capacity, less weight than the XXL – greater volume, improved efficiency.
  • Closed guide and press plates prevent build-up—ensuring clean performance in daily use.
  • Fraction preselection at the terminal allows for optimal loading density—maximizing efficiency.
  • Hydraulic system: energy-efficient, modular, and ready for alternative drives—built with the future in mind.
  • Durable components: premium loading cylinder and linearly guided press plate with long-lasting slide block guide—perfectly equipped for continuous operation.

Maximum Flexibility
The Magnum X1 delivers versatile performance across a wide range of applications:

  • H version: Body raised by 200 mm—perfect for additional volume needs.
  • Multiple rear section configurations: Tailored for different operational demands.
  • Broad scope of use: Equally effective for bulky waste as well as industrial and commercial waste.
  • Part of the Magnum family: Variable body designs, including options for alternative drive systems—ready to meet today’s and tomorrow’s requirements.
