Start From The Containers Not The Truck
The bin lifter is the part of the body that has to match your city first. Measure the containers already in service, including the lifting bar or comb, and specify the lifter around them. A body that cannot lift the containers you own means manual loading on every round.
Compaction Decides Your Trip Count
A compaction body reduces the number of runs to the landfill. The further your transfer point sits from the collection area, the more compaction is worth. On short routes inside one district, a smaller sealed body may serve you better than the largest available.
Sealing And Leachate Drive Public Complaints
Most complaints about collection vehicles are about drips and smell rather than capacity. A sealed tailgate and a leachate tank keep liquid inside the body between the collection point and the discharge point.
Match The Chassis To Your Streets
Narrow residential streets and market districts need a shorter wheelbase, even at the cost of body volume. Arterial and transfer work can carry the larger chassis. We build compaction bodies on SHACMAN and DONGFENG chassis among others.
