Compactor Trucks | Urban waste collection, high-density areas | Compaction Ratio: 4:1 (ISO 14162) Hydraulic Force: 80 kN (EN 1315) Emission: Euro 5 (EURO 5 Compliance) Drive: 6x4 (enhanced traction) | ▲ High waste density reduces disposal trips Environmental compliance Robust durability | Higher upfront cost Requires skilled drivers for manual transmission |
Side Loader Trucks | Narrow streets, residential areas | Lift Capacity: 800 kg (ISO 1105) Emission: Euro 6 (lower NOx emissions) Transmission: Automatic (ease of use) | Maneuverability in tight spaces Lower emissions than Euro 5 models | Lower load capacity vs front loaders Higher fuel consumption |
Rear Loader Trucks | Medium-sized cities, mixed waste types | Compaction Ratio: 2:1 (ISO 14162) Drive: 6x4 (heavy-duty) Fuel Efficiency: 30% better than gasoline (ASTM D482) | Cost-effective maintenance Simple operation for non-specialized crews | Lower compaction efficiency vs compactors Higher emissions (Euro 5 only) |
Front Loader Trucks | Industrial zones, standardized bins | Lift Capacity: 1000 kg (ISO 1105) Bin Compatibility: Requires Euro-style bins (EN 845) Transmission: Automatic | Fast collection speed with standardized bins High payload capacity | Limited to areas with compatible bins Noisy operation (75 dB) |
Electric Garbage Trucks | Urban centers with emission restrictions | Zero Emissions: Meets Euro 7 equivalent standards Range: 150 km (EN 1668) Noise Level: 45 dB (quieter than diesel) | Environmentally friendly Lower operating costs (electricity vs diesel) | Limited battery range Higher upfront cost for charging infrastructure |
Compact Garbage Trucks | Small towns, rural areas | Load Capacity: 1.5 tons (ISO 3833) Drive: 4x2 (lightweight) Fuel: Diesel (cost-effective for short routes) | Ideal for low-waste areas Lower purchase/maintenance costs | Frequent trips needed for large volumes Limited hydraulic capabilities |
