![]() Typically an Automated Side Loader uses specialized wheeled carts compatible with the truck’s automated lift. An Automated Side Loader only needs one operator, where a traditional rear load garbage truck may require two or three people, and has the additional advantage of reducing on the job injuries due to repetitive heavy lifting. Using a continuously reciprocating wall within the loading hopper, the waste is forced through an aperture into the main body and therefore compacted towards the rear of the truck. Lift-equipped trucks are referred to as automated side loaders. Side Loaders are loaded from the side, either manually, or with the assistance of an automated lift. When the body is full, the compaction wall moves all the way to the rear of the body, ejecting it via an open tailgate. Most of the newer packing trucks have “pack-on-the-go hydraulics” which lets the driver pack loads while driving, allowing faster route times. ![]() Once the waste is dumped, it is compacted by a hydraulically powered moving wall that oscillates backwards and forwards to push the waste to the rear of the vehicle. Once it gets to the top the container is then flipped upside down and the waste or recyclable material is emptied into the vehicle’s hopper. The waste container is then lifted over the truck. The truck is equipped with automated forks on the front which the driver carefully aligns with sleeves on the waste container using a joystick or a set of levers. If you were starting a garbage company, what kind of truck is best to own? Would it be a Front Loader, Side Loader, Rear Loader or Grapple Truck? The answer depends on a lot of factors.įront Loaders are generally service commercial and industrial businesses using large waste containers with lids known as front load dumpsters. ![]()
