How a Bin Truck Works
Rear Loading Refuse Trucks
The bin truck travels down a residential Street it’s stops for a short while allowing time for the sanitization engineers to bring the individual rubbish bins to the back of the garbage truck and empty the bins into the hopper at the rear of the vehicle.
A hydraulic mechanism in the back of the truck then scoops the trash or refuge from the hopper into the compacting section inside the truck . The Mechanism then compacts the refuge to reduce the space which it takes up in the back of the truck. This is the cycle that continues until the body of the truck is full.
The driver then takes the truck to the garbage dump site/landfill, and again with hydraulic mechanisms, as the back of the truck is lifted up the compacting panels are moved out of the way and the compacted garbage is pushed out of the rear of the truck onto the Landfill.
Front Loading Refuse Trucks
In the case of front loading garbage trucks, the garbage collection hopper is in the front of the vehicle and the sanitation engineers empty the rubbish bins into the hopper once it is full, the driver then operates hydraulic arms which lift the hopper up and over the cab of the vehicle dumping the garbage into the back compact the section. As the truck moves along the streets hydraulics in the back of the truck compact the garbage.
And as in the rear loading truck once the compactor section is full the driver then returns to the refuge landfill and in the same fashion has the rear loading garbage truck empties the compacted refuge on to the landfill.
How does garbage truck compactor work?
Modern garbage trucks normally have two main moving parts when it comes to the compaction process. there is the blade and there is the bulkhead.
the blade operated by hydraulics cause or sweeps the garbage from the hopper into the body of the garbage truck and then presses it this compacting the garbage up against the bulkhead.
and has more garbage is placed into the hopper so the blade will then true that new garbage into the back of the vehicle and pressurize it up against the bulkhead. has the blade forces more garbage into the body it will overload the relief valve on the hydraulic cylinder which controls the bulkhead then the bar kid moves forward away from the blade.
if the blade comes across an object which is cannot Compact it’s simply forces the bulkhead further back into the body of the truck. and if it gets to a point where It cannot compress anymore a relief valve reduces the hydraulic pressure in the system and nothing happens.
when the truck returns to the Landfill to empty its contents the compression blade as it is also known will be raised out of the way with the tailgate section so the bulkhead can then slide the load out of the body of the truck with ease.
How much does garbage truck weight?
On average a fully laden garbage truck to the legal limit is plus minus 51,000, and when empty it is in the region of 33,000 pounds.
that these weights don’t always determine how much garbage can be collected as where the plays a big role in the weight of the garbage.
most of the time residential garbage is outside and if it should be raining the night before or snowing this can really affect the weight of the refuge, thus the garbage truck will not be able to collect as much garbage as it would have if it had not rained or snowed.
How wide is garbage truck?
Dimensions of the average modern garbage truck
Rear Loading Trucks
The average height is ±3.35m
The average length is ±7.56m
Front Loading Trucks
The average height is ±3.80m
The average length is ±8.76m
Who designed the first garbage truck?
In 1937, a gentleman by the name of George Dempster was the first person to invent a garbage collection system into which waste containers could be mechanically tips into the back of the truck.
It was George Dempster’s naming of his own containers ”dumpster” which then coined the dumpster phrase from then on.
The next big Revolutionary update to how garbage trucks handled refuse was in 1938 when Garwood load packer designed a compactor to be implemented into the garbage truck.
even though it was quite a primitive design it managed to double the trucks garbage collection capacity. the garwood load packer used hydraulics to Compact the refuge in the back of the refuge truck.
In 1937, George Dempster invented the “Dempster-Dumpster” system in which wheeled waste containers were mechanically tipped into the truck. His containers were known as “Dumpsters”, which led to the word “dumpster” entering the english language.
In 1938, the Garwood Load Packer revolutionized the industry when the notion of including a compactor in the truck was implemented. The first primitive compactor could double a truck’s capacity. This was made possible by use of a hydraulic press which compacted the contents of the truck periodically.
