Dennis Eagle has once again raised the bar in refuse collection vehicle (RCV) design with the introduction of the Olympus Midi. Filling the key 12-16 tonne category, the new Olympus Midi seamlessly completes Dennis Eagle’s impressive range, which now spans from 7.5 to 32 tonnes. Compact, versatile, and robust, the Olympus Midi is set to become the go-to solution for municipalities and operators looking for a smaller, high-performance vehicle that can tackle both urban congestion and rural lanes with ease.
Built Tough for Every Job
Engineered with durability and safety in mind, the Olympus Midi features the rugged construction and reliability that Dennis Eagle’s Olympus body range is known for. Built using hard-wearing materials such as Hardox 400, the Midi ensures long-lasting performance, even under the toughest working conditions. The vehicle’s robust design is complemented by heavy-duty connectors and wiring that guarantee outstanding durability, even in extreme weather.
What sets the Olympus Midi apart from its competitors is its ability to deliver exceptional strength and reliability without compromising on payload capacity. The vehicle’s short rear overhang reduces weight while maximising the payload, making it a standout in the 12-16 tonne category. For operators, this means superior load-bearing capacity while maintaining the high standards of performance expected from an industry leader.
Unmatched Performance and Manoeuvrability
The 2025 Olympus Midi comes in three variants with capacities of 9.8 m³ (OL-MIDI 10), 10.8 m³ (OL-MIDI 11), and 11.8 m³ (OL-MIDI 12), offering a range of options to meet specific operational needs. The Midi’s 3.25m wheelbase (on the OL-MIDI 10) and 2,350mm width (DAF variant) ensure outstanding manoeuvrability in even the tightest spaces. Whether navigating congested city streets or winding rural lanes, this RCV stands out for its superior turning circle and ability to reach places that larger vehicles simply cannot access.
Seamless Integration for Maximum Efficiency
Designed for integration with the most common 12-16t GVW chassis, including DAF and Renault, the Olympus Midi offers a seamless fit across various platforms. Dennis Eagle’s engineers have collaborated with chassis providers to ensure that the integration of body and chassis is efficient, resulting in an optimised vehicle that delivers high operational performance. This approach guarantees maximum efficiency across all aspects of the vehicle’s operation, from handling waste to minimising downtime.
A Sleek and User-Friendly Design
The Olympus Midi’s contemporary design is more than just aesthetically pleasing. It’s built with the operator in mind, incorporating user-friendly features that enhance operational efficiency. As part of the Olympus body family, the Midi includes advanced features such as the class-leading short rear overhang, which helps reduce weight and optimise payload capacity.
Equipped with a compactor speed of 17 seconds, the Midi ensures fast and efficient waste collection, while its widest tailgate hopper in its class facilitates smoother and quicker waste loading. The vehicle’s advanced ejector plate retention system also allows for efficient handling of various waste types, further improving the operational workflow.
Advanced Technology for Streamlined Operations
The Olympus Midi is equipped with a configurable HMI display that enables operators to manage key functions with ease. From bin lifter movements to the integration of body weighing systems, diagnostics, and even rear camera integration, the system ensures that operators have the tools they need for optimal performance. For fleet managers, the Terberg Connect telematics and remote diagnostics system provides invaluable insights into vehicle performance and maintenance needs.
For added versatility, the Midi offers multiple bin-lifting configurations, including an integrated multifunction bin lift, ideal for both 2- and 4-wheel waste collections. The Terberg OmniDEL or OmniDEKA automatic bin lift options further enhance the vehicle’s ability to manage various waste types and operations.
Efficiency at Its Core
Dennis Eagle has prioritised operational efficiency throughout the design of the Olympus Midi. The vehicle features pack-on-the-move technology, allowing packing cycles to be completed while the vehicle is in transit, saving valuable time during waste collection rounds. Maintenance has also been made simpler, with just two lubrication points for the body, reducing downtime and contributing to long-term operational savings.
The Olympus Midi’s single-person operation capability ensures that the vehicle can be operated by one person when required, making it ideal for routes with varying staffing requirements.
Safety as Standard
As with all Dennis Eagle products, safety remains a top priority. The Olympus Midi is fully compliant with EN-1501 and CE-approved, ensuring that it meets the highest standards in the refuse collection industry. New LED lighting improves visibility for both the operator and the vehicle, ensuring safety in low-light or high-traffic environments. The ergonomically designed cabin ensures a comfortable and safe working environment for operators, even during long shifts.
