![]() Since that time there has been little dramatic change. The 1970s also saw the introduction of smaller dumpsters, often known as wheelie bins which were also emptied mechanically. They do not become common until the 1970s, however. This was made possible by the availability of relatively cheap hydraulic presses.ġ955 saw the Dempster Dumpmaster the first front loader introduced. The first primitive compactor could double a truck's capacity. In 1938 the Garwood Load Packer revolutionized the industry when the notion of including a compactor in the truck was implemented. His containers were known as Dumpsters, which led to the word dumpster entering the language. In 1937 George Dempster invented the Dempster-Dumpster system in which wheeled garbage containers were mechanically tipped into the garbage truck. It solved this problem by developed a cable system that a could pull garbage into the truck. A more efficient model was the development of the hopper in 1929. The first technique developed in the late 20s to solve this problem was to build round compartments with massive corkscrews that would lift the load and bring it away from the rear. The main difficulty was that the garbage collectors needed to lift the trash to shoulder height. The covered vehicles were still modified dump trucks, however. These covered trucks were first introduced in more densely populated Europe than in North America, but were soon used everywhere. The open tops tended to drop waste and had poor odours. The 1920s first saw open topped dump trucks used for the purpose, but soon covered vehicles became used more often. Trucks were first used for this purpose soon after their invention. Wagons and other means had been used for centuries to haul away solid waste. Some larger landfills will have large contraptions that tip the entire truck, thus allowing the trucks to not have to carry their own method of emptying the garbage. Front loaders more commonly have a moving wall that pushes the garbage out. Most rear loaders lift the rear section so that the garbage will spill out. Garbage trucks empty their trash in landfills. There are also larger trucks that carry trash over long distances, usually modified dump trucks. This type of garbage truck requires only one arm-operator/driver but residents must position their wheelie bins carefully near the kerb and at least two metres away from nearby objects. Some side loaders are equipped with a mechanical remote-control arm that grasps a trash container such as a wheeled bin and empties it into the truck in the same manner as front loaders. Side loaders are versions of either front or rear loaders that lift small trash containers or have openings on either side to deposit trash.They are usually equipped with some type of compactor that will compress the garbage, and move it towards the front of the vehicle. Often (particularly in Europe) they have a lifting mechanism to automatically empty wheeled bins (from both residential and commercial premises) without the operator having to lift the waste by hand. They have an opening at the rear that a trash collector can throw garbage bags or empty the contents of trash cans into. Rear loaders commonly service residential areas.The dumpster is then lifted over the truck, until it is upside-down and the trash will then fall out into the receptacle. They have large prongs on the front which are carefully aligned with arms on the dumpster. ![]() ![]() Front loaders generally service commercial and industrial sites using dumpsters.There are three basic models of garbage truck: They are a common sight in most urban areas. Parts include a mix of standard, sloped, solid, transparent, technic axles and connectors, and notch hinges.A typical front loader garbage truck in North AmericaĪ garbage truck, known as a dustcart or dustbin wagon in the United Kingdom, is a truck specially designed to haul waste to landfills and other recycling / disposal facilities. Construction techniques include standard stud on top mixed with studs not on top (S.N.O.T.). while maintaining a realistic part count. ![]() My goal was to create something aesthetically similar to the current line up of CiTY vehicles, but packed with as many functions and details as possible. This little project is my proposal for a CiTY theme front loader with dumpster - a great addition to any city collection!
