Tipper trucks and compactor garbage trucks both belong to heavy duty trucks, but they have completely different designs, working principles and application scenarios.
A tipper truck, also known as dump truck, is equipped with a tipping hydraulic cylinder. Its open cargo box can lift up to unload bulk materials quickly. It is mainly used to transport loose materials such as sand, gravel, soil, construction waste and mine ore. The cargo box is open or semi-open, without sealing and compression structure. It focuses on simple loading and fast dumping.
A compactor garbage truck is a dedicated sanitation vehicle. It has a fully sealed box and built-in hydraulic compression mechanism. It compresses municipal solid waste inside the tank to increase loading capacity. The sealed structure prevents sewage leakage and odor overflow. It is specially used for household waste, kitchen waste and urban refuse collection and transportation.
