Comparison

How It Compares With the Alternatives

4x2 roll off truck with 10cbm box	Lower payload and smaller capacity but better turning radius in tight urban areas
Self-loading garbage truck with front loader	Higher initial cost and more complex maintenance, but better for mixed waste with high density
Standard dump truck with container lift	Less stable during lifting and no safety valves, higher risk of container drop

Operating Notes

Use Guide

Confirm left or right hand drive chassis at order stage to match local traffic rules
Do not exceed 18,000 kg payload to avoid chassis and axle damage
Use only the designated manhole or pump inlet for filling to avoid overpressure
Engage hydraulic locks before moving the truck with a container on the hook
Inspect hydraulic hoses and valves weekly for leaks or wear
Drain any water from the system before freezing temperatures to prevent damage
