Key Features of the 12m³ Compression Garbage Truck
1. Advanced Sealed Box Construction
The garbage box of this waste compactor truck is manufactured from high-strength Q345 manganese steel, with thickness options of 4-5mm for side plates and 5mm for bottom plates to ensure exceptional durability and corrosion resistance . The arc-shaped body design, formed through advanced four-axis rolling technology, eliminates welding seams that could potentially leak, thereby enhancing structural integrity and preventing leakage risks .
The 12 cubic meter capacity provides generous volume for efficient waste transportation, significantly reducing the number of trips required for large-scale collection operations. This large-capacity refuse compactor is engineered to withstand the rigors of daily use in demanding environments, from congested urban centers to heavy-duty industrial settings.
2. High-Efficiency Compression Technology
At the core of this refuse collection truck lies its sophisticated bidirectional compression system, which enables an impressive compression ratio of up to 1:2.5 . After compression, waste density can reach 600-800 kg/m³, maximizing each journey's payload capacity and reducing transportation costs .
The compression mechanism delivers powerful compacting force to effectively break down bulky items and reduce waste volume. With a single compression cycle time of just 20-25 seconds, this garbage compactor truck ensures rapid operation, allowing collection routes to be completed quickly and improving overall fleet productivity .
3. Intelligent Control Systems
This compressed garbage truck features advanced electro-hydraulic integration technology with PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) automatic control . The intelligent control system offers three distinct operation modes to suit various working environments :
Automatic mode: For routine collection operations with minimal operator intervention
