Construction 12m3 Garbage Compactor Trucks
Construction 12m3 Garbage Compactor Trucks are refuse collection trucks with a 12 m3 sealed body and a hydraulic packer that crushes waste as it is loaded. That size suits city districts, towns, markets and large sites where a small truck fills too fast but a big one cannot get down narrow streets. We build them in China and export them for councils, waste contractors and tender winners.
How 12m3 Garbage Compactor Trucks work
The crew tips bins or bags into the rear hopper. A packer blade then sweeps the waste forward and presses it against the load already in the body, so each trip carries far more than an open truck of the same size. At the tip, the body is emptied by an ejector plate or by raising the body, depending on the design. The packer runs off the truck engine through a PTO (power take-off), so no second engine is needed.
Typical build points
The specification table below lists the model data. Items marked as typical describe what this class of truck usually has, and we confirm each one for your order:
- Controls: PTO-driven hydraulic packer, driver controlled
- Mechanism: hydraulic packer-blade compaction mechanism
- Body: steel compaction body, wear-resistant packer plate
- Size range: this truck type spans 5-20 m³ compacted payload capacity, and this model is the 12 m3 option
If your routes need a little more volume, compare the 13m3 garbage compactor truck. For drain and septic work, see the 12000L sewage vacuum suction truck.
What city buyers usually ask us
Most enquiries for a compactor come down to a few points, and we recommend sending them with your first message:
- Left-hand or right-hand drive, and the chassis brand your fleet already runs
- The bin type your city uses, since it decides whether a bin lifter is needed
- Engine emission rules in your country
- The tender specification and delivery date, if this is a public order
