Construction 8m3 Garbage Compactor Trucks

Why choose 8m3 Garbage Compactor Trucks

An 8m3 compactor is a good size for narrow streets, old town centres and small councils. A shorter body turns more easily and can reach lanes that a 12m3 or 13m3 truck cannot. Fewer trips to the dump site mean less fuel, less road wear and more time on the collection round.

Common uses:

• daily kerbside and market waste rounds
• collection from bins at schools, clinics and camps
• hauling light debris away from building sites

Typical packer set-up

The specification table below lists this model's data. For this type of truck, the points below are typical and confirmed at quotation:

• a PTO-driven hydraulic packer, driver controlled
• a hydraulic packer-blade compaction mechanism
• a steel compaction body, wear-resistant packer plate
• a range of about 5-20 m³ compacted payload capacity across the family, with this model at 8m3

The PTO (power take-off) runs the hydraulic pump from the truck engine, so the packer needs no separate power unit.

What we check with buyers

We confirm the bin type you use, since the lifter must match your bins or skips. We also check the chassis make, steering side and the rear or side loading layout. Buyers usually ask us for seals on the tailgate to stop leachate leaking on the road, and we recommend a spare set of packer wear plates with the first order.

Export supply

We export these trucks to importers and contractors in Nigeria, Kenya and Ghana, with the invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and bill of lading ready for customs. Read about Incoterms and export documents or the certification documents buyers can request.
