Construction 5m3 Garbage Compactor Trucks

Where 5m3 Garbage Compactor Trucks work best

A 5m3 body is the entry size in the compactor range. It suits old town centres, hospital grounds, universities, resorts and smaller towns with short routes. Because the packer squeezes the load, the truck carries more waste per trip than an open tipper of the same size, and the closed body keeps litter and smell off the road.

Many fleets run a few of these small units to feed a transfer station, then move the waste on in larger trucks.

How the compaction system works

Details are in the specification table below. For this type of truck, the usual set-up is:

• a PTO-driven hydraulic packer, driver controlled from the cab or the rear
• a hydraulic packer-blade compaction mechanism that sweeps and presses each load
• a steel compaction body with a wear-resistant packer plate

The wider compactor range typically spans 5-20 m³ of body volume; this model is the 5 m³ version. These build points are typical for the class and confirmed at quotation.

What we confirm with buyers

We confirm the bin-lifter type your city uses, the chassis make, and whether you need left- or right-hand drive. Buyers usually ask us for a spare hydraulic seal kit to travel with the truck, since seals are the most common wear part.

Larger sizes and related vehicles

For longer routes, compare the 12m3 garbage compactor truck or the 13m3 garbage compactor truck. All sit in our construction machinery and municipal vehicle range.
