How Does a Rear Loader Garbage Truck Work?
You want the best. The best trucks. The best service. The best support. We deliver.
Let’s solve your biggest waste management problem—step by step.
Problem: Waste Is Piling Up. Your Collection Costs Are Spiraling. Trucks Keep Breaking Down
Waste keeps growing. Streets are crowded. Traditional garbage trucks just can’t keep up.
- Inefficient loading means your crew spends too much time at every stop.
- Overflowing bins cause complaints from residents and businesses.
- Old trucks break down again and again, eating your maintenance budget.
Let’s Look at the Data:
| Issue | Traditional Trucks | Rear Loader Garbage Trucks |
|---|---|---|
| Collection Time per Bin | 5–10 min | 2–4 min |
| Compaction Ratio | 2:1 (or less) | Up to 4:1 |
| Waste Trips per Day | 6–8 | 2–4 |
| Average Lifespan (years) | 7 | 10+ |
| Common Downtime Event | Hydraulic failure, bin jam | Rare (advanced hydraulics) |
| Cost of Maintenance /yr | $10,000+ | $5,000–$7,000 |
Agitate: Old Trucks Waste Time, Money, and Reputation
Imagine:
- Your workers struggle with heavy bins.
- The compaction doesn’t work.
- Waste spills onto the street, drawing complaints and safety risks.
- Your competitors use advanced trucks, finish rounds faster, and win new contracts.
Meanwhile…
Broken or outdated trucks:
- Burn more fuel (8–12 liters/hour).
- Need frequent repairs.
- Increase labor costs.
- Make you lose trust.
Customers are demanding environmentally friendly, efficient and reliable service. Local government rules are becoming strict on emissions, recycling and waste isolation.

Solution: Rear Loader Garbage Truck—Innovation That Changes the Game

How Does a Rear Loader Garbage Truck Work?
Step 1: Manual or Semi-Automatic Loading
Your workers load bins or bags into a rear hopper. Some models offer semi-automatic arms to save labor.
Step 2: Powerful Hydraulic Compaction
A hydraulic press compacts the waste inside the hopper. This reduces volume by as much as 75% (4:1 ratio) , allowing more room for more waste.
Step 3: Safe, Reliable Transport
The garbage is tightly contained—no spills or leaks. It’s transported in a leak-proof storage body to the landfill or recycling center.
Step 4: Quick, Clean Unloading
At the site, the tailgate opens and the hydraulic push plate empties the compressed waste in minutes.
Data-Driven Efficiency:
- Each rear loader can handle 8–10 tons of waste per trip .
- Reduces landfill trips by 30% in real city deployments.
- Fuel costs drop by 15% using GPS-optimized routes .
- Adoption rate: 60% of municipalities prefer rear loader trucks [Industry Data].
