Mainly motivated by a conjecture of Alesker and Verbitsky, we study a class of fully non-linear elliptic equations on certain compact hyperhermitian manifolds. By adapting the approach of Sz\'{ e}kelyhidi to the hypercomplex setting, we prove some a priori estimates for solutions to such equations under the assumption of existence of $\mathcal{ C}$-subsolutions. In the estimate of the quaternionic Laplacian, we need to further assume the existence of a flat hyperk\"ahler metric. As an application of our results we prove that the quaternionic analogue of the Hessian equation and Monge-Amp\`ere equation for $(n-1)$-plurisubharmonic functions can always be solved on compact flat hyperk\"ahler manifolds.
