Construction 20m3 Garbage Compactor Trucks
Construction 20m3 Garbage Compactor Trucks collect city or site waste through a rear or side hopper and use a hydraulic packer blade to press it into a sealed 20 m3 body. This is the top size in the typical range, built for dense routes where every saved trip counts. We make them in China and export them to councils, waste firms and tender winners.
Why the largest body size
Each trip to a tip or transfer station costs fuel, driver time and wear. A 20 m3 truck holds more compacted waste per round, so fewer runs are needed on long routes or where the tip is far from town. It suits large cities, industrial zones and bulk debris from building sites. On tight streets, a smaller truck may still be the better choice.
How the compaction system works
Waste goes into the hopper, and the packer blade sweeps it forward and squeezes it against the load inside. The packer runs off the engine through a PTO (power take-off), and the driver controls the cycle. At the tip, an ejector plate or a tipping body empties the load.
Typical build points
The specification table below lists the model data. Typical items show what this truck type usually has:
- Controls: PTO-driven hydraulic packer, driver controlled
- Mechanism: hydraulic packer-blade compaction mechanism
- Body: steel compaction body, wear-resistant packer plate
- Range: this type spans 5-20 m³ compacted payload capacity, with this model at the top
Ordering 20m3 Garbage Compactor Trucks
We recommend sending your bin type, drive side, road limits and emission rules with your first message. For smaller routes, compare the 13m3 garbage compactor truck, or see the 15000L sewage vacuum suction truck for drain work. For a tender, send the spec and deadline and we match the build and papers. We ship from China to Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana and beyond, and confirm the spec, Incoterm and delivery date before production, as shown on our shipping and export documents page.
