Packer Garbage Trucks For Sale

Packer Garbage Trucks vs. Roll-Off Garbage Trucks

Roll-off garbage trucks are the other garbage truck subtype for sale on MDTrader.com. Instead of big compacting refuse bodies, these garbage trucks have a tipping truck bed with a hydraulic loader arm or a winch and cable designed to load and unload large, roll-off garbage and recycling containers.

Roll-off trucks are often used to pick up garbage and material waste on construction jobsites, as well as the largest containers used at retail locations. A driver can drop off a container at a site and then pick it up at predetermined intervals or once it is full. The driver then hauls the container to a waste or recycling center, unloads it, and either leaves it onsite, takes it back to the previous site, or delivers it to a new location.

Battery-Electric Garbage Truck Applications & Benefits

As waste disposal companies and municipal refuse fleets look to decrease their carbon footprints, they are increasingly looking to replace traditional diesel-powered garbage trucks with zero-emission electric trucks. A prominent example is Mack’s LR Electric, which matches the performance of standard garbage trucks but reduces carbon emissions and produces much lower levels of ambient noise.

Garbage and recycling pickup routes are a good fit for electric trucks that use regenerative braking to recapture battery energy, as such routes require a truck to make dozens, if not hundreds, of stops per day. With the right planning, an electric truck can also be recharged over a refuse disposal crew’s lunch break.
