Construction 5m3 Garbage Trucks
Construction 5m3 Garbage Trucks are light waste collection trucks with a closed 5 cubic metre steel body and a hydraulic packer. They collect bins or bagged waste from homes, shops and public sites, then tip the load at a depot or landfill. We build them in China and export them for municipal and private fleets.
Who buys 5m3 Garbage Trucks
Small towns, district councils, housing estates, ports, factories and aid projects are the usual buyers. A 5 m³ truck needs a smaller crew and less fuel than a large compactor, and a driver with a standard truck licence can often handle it. It also fits under low gates and inside tight yards.
For a new service, a few small trucks can cover more streets at once than one large truck, and the fleet keeps running if one unit is in the workshop.
Body and packer set-up
The specification table below has the full list. On this class of truck you can usually expect:
- a PTO-driven hydraulic packer, driver controlled
- a hydraulic packer-blade compaction mechanism at the rear
- a steel compaction body lined with a wear-resistant packer plate
Across our garbage truck range, body volume typically runs from 5-20 m³, and this listing is the 5 m³ size. The build points above are typical and are confirmed at quotation.
Points to settle before you order
We recommend sending the bin sizes you use and the typical daily tonnage per route, so we can confirm this size is right. We also confirm the drive side, the chassis brand and the paint colour or livery your council needs.
