What Are These Big Trucks?

Detachable Container (Roll-Off/Hooklift) Trucks

A roll-off truck ou hooklift truck takes big waste bins from place to place. It puts a bin down, goes away, then comes back for the full bin later.

How does it work?

  • O caminhão usa um hook ou cable.
  • The hook pulls a container up onto its back.
  • The frame tilts, so the bin rolls on.
  • The truck leaves an empty bin and takes a full one.

Where do you use these?

  • Construction sites
  • Factories
  • Landfill and transfer stations
  • Scrap metal yards
  • Demolition projects

These trucks move lots of big, heavy waste at once!

Traditional Refuse Trucks (Garbage Trucks)

A traditional garbage truck comes to your house or store. It empties bins into its body and squeezes the waste to make room for more.

How does it work?

  • There are rear loader, front loader, e side loader garbage trucks.
  • The truck lifts each bin.
  • It dumps the waste inside.
  • The waste gets pushed down by a compactor.
  • The truck goes to a dump and empties everything out.

Where do you use these?

  • Collecting from businesses
