Garbage Truck Body Features

Hydraulic compactor garbage truck bodies offer maximum efficiency and capacity benefits in waste collection operations. By compressing the waste, these systems increase the usable volume, reduce collection frequency, and lower operational costs.

For household waste, the average compaction ratio ranges between 5:1 and 6:1, allowing more waste to be collected in each round.

At BDB Metal, our hydraulic garbage compactor bodies stand out with their high-performance components and durable construction. These systems are especially preferred in dense urban collection operations, offering eco-friendly and practical solutions.

Key Features:

• Hydraulic Compaction System: Compresses waste to reduce volume and increase transport capacity.
• Automatic Tipping Mechanism: Allows for quick and easy unloading.
• Leak-Proof Welded Structure: Prevents waste liquids from leaking.
• High-Strength Material Use: Resistant to impact and wear, using Hardox and ST-52 steel.
  • Body Panel Thickness: Typically 3–4 mm for the roof and side walls, and 4 mm for the floor.
  • Compaction Plates: Manufactured from 5–8 mm thick Hardox 400-450 grade steel.
• Integrated Rear Door: Facilitates efficient loading and unloading of waste.
• DIN 30700 Compliant Lifting System: Fully compatible with 120/240 liter plastic bins and 400L, 770L, 1100L waste containers.

These features ensure that BDB Metal’s refuse truck bodies provide not only operational convenience but also long-term reliability and compliance with international standards.
