The invention of compressed garbage trucks

The invention process of compressed garbage trucks is a process that evolves with technological development and demand, as follows:

 The development of early garbage trucks: The earliest garbage truck appeared before the invention of automobiles, which was a carriage with a collection box. After the emergence of cars, open garbage trucks replaced horse drawn garbage trucks, but there were problems such as garbage overflow, uncontrollable odor and dust, which were later replaced by covered garbage trucks. The covered garbage truck consists of a waterproof box and a lifting and dumping mechanism, but loading garbage requires manual labor to lift the garbage bin to shoulder height, which is quite laborious.

The predecessor of the garbage compactor truck: In the 1930s, in order to save labor, the Dempster recycling station invented a garbage truck. Workers could use elevators to load garbage into containers and descend through electric rails, greatly reducing labor. The later appearance of external funnel garbage trucks made loading and unloading garbage more convenient and efficient, but also had problems such as garbage flying around, long loading and unloading time, and inability to load large amounts of garbage. The rotary garbage truck invented by the Germans can crush garbage with large volume through the screw device, but it has not been successful in the United States.

The birth of the refuse collection truck: In 1938, American Wood invented the rear compressed garbage truck. Combining the advantages of the external funnel garbage truck, the hydraulic cylinder was used to drive the garbage tray, making the compression capacity of garbage stronger and the carrying capacity of garbage truck larger. It was the first to use in Detroit, the United States, and played an important role in collecting commercial and industrial waste.

Improvement of waste compactor trucks: In early 1947, Parkmore manufactured side loading and unloading garbage trucks, consisting of durable cylindrical garbage collection units that push garbage through hydraulic cylinders or pressure plates, but cannot handle large amounts of garbage. In the mid-1950s, the front loading and unloading garbage truck invented by Dempster Truck Company had a mechanical arm that could pick up or put down containers, greatly reducing manual labor and having a larger carrying capacity.

With the continuous advancement of technology, rubbish compactor trucks are constantly improving and perfecting in their subsequent development. For example, some Chinese enterprises have independently developed a new generation of compressed garbage collection and transportation vehicles, which adopt advanced technology and processes to improve transportation efficiency, operational convenience, and operational safety.
