Types of Garbage Trucks Explained
Garbage trucks are not one-size-fits-all vehicles. Different collection environments require different truck designs to ensure efficiency, safety, and cost control.

Rear Loader Garbage Trucks
Rear loader garbage trucks are loaded from the back and are widely used for mixed waste collection. Their flexible loading method allows operators to handle bagged, loose, and bulky waste.
Side Loader Garbage Trucks
Side loader trucks use hydraulic arms to lift standardized bins automatically. They are ideal for residential areas with consistent container placement.

Front Loader Garbage Trucks
Front loaders are commonly used for commercial waste, lifting large containers over the cab and dumping them into the hopper.
Matching Truck Types to Applications
Choosing the right truck type improves route efficiency, reduces labor costs, and minimizes equipment wear.
