This is the heart of the truck, consisting of hydraulically operated compacting plates or panels that press the waste together to reduce its volume.
The hopper is the initial loading area where waste is collected before being compacted. It can be loaded from the front, rear, or sides, depending on the design of the truck.
Garbage compactor trucks use a hydraulic system to power the compactor mechanism and other moving parts. This system requires maintenance to ensure proper functionality.
The rear compartment or hopper is sealed during transport to prevent waste from spilling out and creating litter on the road.
Some trucks are equipped with automated arms or lift systems to pick up and empty standardized waste containers, such as bins or dumpsters.
Garbage compactor trucks come in various sizes and capacities to suit different waste collection needs. Larger trucks can handle higher volumes of waste.
Compacting waste reduces the number of trips needed for disposal, saving time, fuel, and labor costs.
The sealed compartments prevent waste from littering the streets during transport.
Compacted waste takes up less space in landfills or disposal facilities.
Minimizing waste spills and leaks contributes to a cleaner and safer environment for workers and the public.
Reducing the volume of waste transported to disposal sites can lead to lower greenhouse gas emissions and less strain on landfills.
Garbage compactor trucks play a vital role in waste management systems, helping municipalities and other organizations efficiently handle and dispose of solid waste.
