Garbage trucks, also known as trash trucks or refuse trucks, are specially designed vehicles used for collecting and transporting municipal solid waste from residential, commercial, and industrial areas to disposal sites.
The world's largest garbage truck, the Liebherr T 282B, has a payload capacity of over 360 metric tons and is used in large-scale mining operations to transport waste rock and ore!
Garbage trucks play a crucial role in waste management by keeping cities clean and sanitary, preventing pollution, and reducing the spread of diseases caused by untreated waste.
Modern garbage trucks are equipped with advanced features such as hydraulic compactors, automated lift arms, and GPS tracking systems to improve efficiency, safety, and environmental performance.
Garbage trucks come in different types and configurations, including front loaders, rear loaders, and side loaders, each designed for specific collection routes and waste volumes.
