The vehicle measures 2500 mm in width and 3200 mm in height, creating a solid and spacious platform for the rear compaction body while still remaining suitable for city waste collection routes.
The truck operates with a gross vehicle weight of 18,000 kg, supported by a curb weight of 9,800 kg and a rated payload capacity of 8,070 kg, which allows it to transport substantial waste loads during daily operations. Designed for professional sanitation fleets, the vehicle runs on diesel power and complies with Euro VI / China VI emission standards, ensuring both performance and environmental responsibility.
Capable of reaching a maximum speed of 98 km/h, the truck can move efficiently between collection zones and disposal facilities. Its durable construction and strong chassis configuration make it a reliable solution for municipalities, environmental service companies, and large industrial waste management operations.
Features
High-Performance ISUZU Diesel Engine
Powering the vehicle is the reliable ISUZU 4HK1-TCG60 turbocharged diesel engine, a well-proven power unit designed to deliver strong performance and long-term durability under demanding working conditions.
This inline four-cylinder engine features a 5.193-liter displacement, producing a maximum power output of 151 kW (205 horsepower). The engine generates an impressive 650 N·m of torque, ensuring smooth acceleration and strong pulling capability even when the vehicle is fully loaded with compressed waste.
Operating at a rated speed of 2600 rpm, the engine provides consistent power delivery while maintaining fuel efficiency, making it well suited for the stop-and-go driving patterns commonly encountered in urban sanitation operations.
Durable Manual Transmission System
The truck is equipped with the ISUZU MLD-6Q manual transmission, a reliable gearbox engineered for heavy-duty commercial applications.
This 6-speed manual transmission provides six forward gears and one reverse gear, allowing drivers to maintain optimal engine performance across various driving conditions. The system uses a dry single-plate clutch, which offers smooth gear engagement and dependable durability during continuous operation.
The transmission system works seamlessly with the diesel engine to deliver efficient power transfer, ensuring the truck maintains strong performance even when navigating crowded city routes or traveling to waste processing facilities.
Large-Capacity 12 CBM Compactor Body
The rear body of the truck features a 12 cubic meter compactor garbage container, designed to maximize waste collection capacity while maintaining efficient space utilization.
Constructed from high-strength carbon steel, the compactor body uses 4 mm thick side panels and a 5 mm reinforced bottom plate, providing excellent resistance against wear, corrosion, and structural stress caused by continuous waste compression.
The system delivers an effective compression ratio of 2.5:1, significantly increasing the amount of waste that can be transported in each load. This capability helps sanitation operators reduce the number of disposal trips while improving overall operational efficiency.
Efficient Hydraulic Compression System
The garbage truck is equipped with a powerful hydraulic compression system designed to ensure reliable and efficient waste compaction during daily collection operations.
The hydraulic system operates using a high-pressure gear pump and maintains a maximum system pressure of 16 MPa, which allows the compression mechanism to operate smoothly and effectively even when handling dense or bulky waste materials.
Control of the hydraulic system is available through dual operation modes, including in-cab control for the driver and rear control panels for sanitation workers. This flexible control layout improves operational safety and convenience during the waste loading process.
The system also includes double-acting hydraulic cylinders and a 120-liter hydraulic oil tank, which help maintain stable performance during continuous daily use.
Rear Loader with Automatic Bin Lifter
The truck uses a rear loading waste collection system, which allows sanitation crews to collect garbage efficiently from residential and commercial waste bins.
The 1.2 CBM rear hopper provides sufficient space for temporary waste storage before the compression cycle begins. Waste can be loaded either manually or through the integrated hydraulic automatic bin lifter.
The lifting system is compatible with several standard waste containers, including 120 L, 240 L, 660 L, and 1100 L bins, allowing sanitation operators to handle a wide variety of municipal waste collection systems.
The truck also delivers excellent operational efficiency with a loading cycle time of less than 25 seconds and a discharge time of less than 45 seconds, helping improve productivity during daily waste collection routes.
Strong Axle and Suspension Structure
The truck’s chassis is supported by a robust axle configuration designed to handle heavy loads and continuous operation.
The front axle supports a load capacity of 6,500 kg, while the rear axle is rated at 11,500 kg, ensuring reliable load distribution across the vehicle during waste transportation.
A durable leaf spring suspension system with an 8 / 10 + 8 spring configuration helps absorb road vibrations and maintain stability, particularly when the truck is carrying heavy compressed waste.
Heavy-Duty Tire Configuration
The vehicle runs on steel radial tires with a 10.00R20 specification, which are widely used in medium-duty commercial trucks due to their strength and durability.
With six operational tires and one spare, the truck maintains reliable traction and road stability across various road surfaces, including urban streets, industrial areas, and landfill access roads.
Fuel System and Braking Performance
The truck is equipped with a 200-liter fuel tank, allowing it to operate for extended periods without frequent refueling, which is particularly useful for large municipal waste collection routes.
The braking system uses air brakes, which provide strong and consistent stopping power for heavy-duty vehicles. Additional braking assistance is provided through a spring parking brake and an exhaust auxiliary brake, improving safety when the truck is operating on slopes or carrying heavy loads.
Advanced Safety and Control Systems
The ISUZU 12 CBM Compactor Garbage Truck is equipped with several safety features designed to protect both the driver and sanitation workers during daily operations.
Key safety systems include ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), which helps maintain vehicle stability during emergency braking situations. The truck also includes a hydraulic safety lock system that prevents accidental movement of the compactor mechanism during maintenance or operation.
Additional safety equipment includes a rear operation control panel, emergency stop button, rear working lights, warning lights, and a reverse alarm system, all of which improve visibility and safety when operating in busy urban environments or low-light conditions.
The ISUZU 12 CBM Compactor Garbage Truck offers a balanced combination of durable chassis engineering, powerful diesel performance, and efficient waste compression technology, making it an excellent solution for professional sanitation fleets that require reliable and high-capacity waste collection vehicles.
