The 8 CBM compactor body features a 2 CBM filler, allowing waste to be loaded and compressed through a coordinated hydraulic mechanism. The system operates at a rated hydraulic pressure of 18 MPa, with a filling cycle time of no more than 25 seconds, a filler lifting time of 8–10 seconds, and a discharge time of no more than 40 seconds under specified operating conditions.

Designed for convenient daily operation, the truck features an ISUZU NPR wide cab with three seats, air conditioning, power windows, and central locking to provide a practical working environment for the driver and crew. The reinforced U-profile parallel ladder frame, semi-elliptic leaf-spring suspension, hydraulic power-assisted steering, and dual-circuit compressed-air braking system support regular commercial vehicle operation. ABS is also specified as part of the braking equipment. For improved waste handling, the vehicle includes front and rear sewage collection capacities of 250 liters and 150 liters respectively, helping manage wastewater generated during collection and compaction. Buyers can compare this model with our garbage collection trucks to find a suitable solution for different collection volumes, chassis requirements, and municipal operating conditions.

Features

1. Reliable ISUZU ELF Chassis and Engine

The ISUZU ELF chassis provides a practical foundation for the 8 CBM waste collection truck, combining a compact overall footprint with the power required for regular refuse collection and transportation. Its 4KH1CN6HB engine produces 120 HP and 507 N·m of maximum torque, supporting frequent acceleration, repeated stops, and movement between waste collection points. The turbocharged and intercooled diesel engine uses a water-cooled four-cylinder design and has a displacement of 2.9 liters, while the Euro 6 emission specification is intended for markets with applicable low-emission vehicle requirements. The ISUZU five-speed manual gearbox offers five forward gears and one reverse gear, helping drivers adapt to changing traffic conditions and the demands of daily sanitation work.

2. Efficient 8 CBM Waste Compaction System

The 8-cubic-meter garbage container is designed to accommodate household refuse, commercial waste, and other suitable municipal solid waste collected from neighborhoods and public facilities. Its integrated compaction mechanism compresses waste as it enters the body, helping reduce the volume of loose refuse and improve the utilization of available container space. The 2 CBM filler provides the loading area for waste collection, while the hydraulic system coordinates the filling and discharge operations. With a specified filling cycle time of no more than 25 seconds, the truck supports repeated loading cycles during daily collection routes, although actual cycle performance will vary according to waste characteristics, operating procedures, and site conditions.

3. Hydraulic System with 18 MPa Operating Pressure

The truck uses an integrated hydraulic system rated at 18 MPa to operate the compactor body and associated loading mechanisms. Hydraulic power enables the equipment to carry out repeated filling, compression, and discharge movements, reducing the need for manual handling of collected refuse. The specified filler lifting time is 8–10 seconds, while the discharge operation takes no more than 40 seconds under the stated conditions. This coordinated working process helps sanitation crews maintain a consistent collection schedule and reduce delays at unloading locations. Regular inspection of hydraulic oil, pipelines, seals, and operating components is recommended to support reliable performance and extend the service life of the equipment.

4. Reinforced Chassis and Practical Suspension

The chassis uses a U-profile parallel ladder frame with a reinforced subframe to support the vehicle and its waste collection equipment during routine operations. The front suspension consists of eight semi-elliptic leaf springs, while the rear suspension uses a 10+6 leaf-spring arrangement to accommodate the demands of a commercial vehicle carrying waste and operating over different road surfaces. A 100-liter fuel tank with a locking fuel cap supports daily route operations, while hydraulic power-assisted steering helps the driver maneuver through residential streets, collection areas, and urban traffic. The vehicle is fitted with seven 700R16 tires, including the spare, with 750R16 tires available as an option according to the selected configuration.

5. Driver-Focused Cab and Safety Equipment

The ISUZU NPR wide cab provides three seats and practical equipment intended to support drivers and collection crews throughout the working day. Standard specified features include air conditioning, power windows, and central locking, helping create a more comfortable and convenient cab environment. The braking system incorporates dual-circuit compressed-air service brakes, a spring-energy parking and emergency brake operating through compressed air, and ABS. These features support vehicle control during regular road operation, while appropriate inspection, scheduled maintenance, and compliance with local vehicle safety requirements remain essential for safe service.

6. Integrated Sewage Collection for Cleaner Operations

Waste collection vehicles frequently handle refuse containing moisture and liquid residues, making wastewater management an important part of their overall design. This model is specified with a front sewage collection capacity of 250 liters and a rear sewage collection capacity of 150 liters, providing a combined stated capacity of 400 liters. These tanks help collect liquid generated during refuse handling and support cleaner operation around the loading and transportation process. Routine cleaning and inspection of the tanks, drainage paths, and seals can help reduce leakage, unpleasant odors, and unnecessary maintenance issues, particularly when the vehicle operates on routes with a high proportion of wet household waste.

7. Suitable for Municipal and Commercial Waste Collection

With its 8 CBM compactor body, 120 HP diesel engine, and compact ISUZU ELF chassis, this waste collection truck is suitable for organizations that need a practical vehicle for regular refuse collection in residential communities, commercial districts, industrial facilities, and municipal service areas.
