ISUZU Garbage Compactor Truck compactors are essential garbage transfer vehicles in urban environments, with high transportation efficiency and safe and convenient operation. The upper body of this type of special vehicle consists of four key structural components: garbage bin, bucket assembly, barrel mechanism and hydraulic system, which all play a vital role in the garbage compression and transportation process.
1. Garbage bin structure
The garbage bin is the main load-bearing unit. The large compactor is made of durable 16Mn steel plate (8mm, 5mm and 4mm thickness respectively) and reinforced with 16-gauge low-alloy channel steel; the standard model uses 12-gauge low-alloy channel steel with 5mm/4mm steel plates. This optimized steel frame combines lightness and structural integrity, maximizing internal capacity while lowering the center of gravity. The bottom channel steel is both the connection base of the structural components and the support platform of the push plate mechanism. The fully sealed bottom design effectively guides corrosive liquids and working water to the dedicated sewage tank, preventing container/chassis corrosion and roadside leakage during transportation. The entire assembly is firmly mounted on the truck chassis through a reinforcing beam connection.
2. Bucket assembly (waste loader)
The bucket system, as the main loading mechanism, integrates several coordinated components: a rigid frame skeleton with guide rails, a curved bucket, a scraping element, and a special slide equipped with eight high-strength, low-friction rollers on each side. These rollers enable smooth micro-vibration, which significantly reduces guide rail wear during long-term operation. The assembly contains a negative pressure plate and a lightweight cover layer to improve operating efficiency. At its bottom, a special sewage collection box automatically collects liquid waste during compaction and can be drained fully automatically or manually during unloading. This comprehensive design ensures reliable waste intake while maintaining clean operation.
3. Bucket flip mechanism
Commonly known as the flip mechanism, this component offers three configurable options to adapt to different municipal waste bins: a standard bucket mechanism (suspended bucket device), a flip mechanism customized to a specific waste bin design, or a roll-over system. This versatile subsystem is activated during vehicle travel to secure the waste bin and automatically retracts when not in use to maintain standard travel clearance. The mechanism’s intelligent design allows for seamless transitions between waste collection and road transport modes, with special attention paid to synchronization with vehicle movement to ensure operational safety and efficiency.
4. Hydraulic Power System
The hydraulic system is at the heart of the compaction truck’s operation and includes a large-capacity fuel tank, multi-stage filtration system, gear-driven oil pump, precision multi-channel control valves, check valves, heavy-duty cylinders, and an enhanced pipe network. Power comes from the truck’s main engine and is transmitted through a power take-off (PTO) that drives a hydraulic gear pump. This carefully designed system delivers the powerful power required for waste compaction and mechanical component operation while maintaining energy efficiency. The integration of specialized valves and controls allows for precise management of compaction cycles and component movement, ensuring optimal performance during demanding collection routes.
These four integrated systems work together to provide municipalities with an efficient waste management solution that combines rugged construction and practicality. From the corrosion-resistant waste bin to the wear-minimized bucket assembly to the powerful and precise hydraulic system, each component has been carefully designed to balance performance requirements with long-term durability. This comprehensive approach enables refuse collection vehicles to meet the demanding requirements of an urban environment while maintaining high operational efficiency and reliability.
