The question of how much garbage can be loaded in a garbage truck cannot be answered in one sentence.
1. What kind of garbage does this involve? What is the density of garbage?
Because garbage trucks are calculated according to m³. For example, if the density of garbage and water are the same, according to the formula: v (volume) = m (mass)/ρ (density)
It can be concluded that 1m³ of garbage = 1 ton of garbage
If the density of garbage is greater than that of water, then 1 ton of garbage is less than 1m³ of garbage. Similarly, the density of garbage is less than the density of water, so 1 ton of garbage> 1m³ of garbage. Therefore, we must know what kind of garbage is, wet garbage, dry garbage, other construction garbage, mine stone garbage, steel garbage, etc.
2. The garbage truck has different garbage loading capacity according to the tonnage of different chassis.
The chassis for small garbage trucks can load 4-8 cubic meters of garbage, the chassis for medium-sized garbage trucks can load 8-12 cubic meters of garbage, and the chassis for large garbage trucks can load 12-20 cubic meters of garbage above 20 cubic meters. A super large chassis is needed for special design and customization.
Then, the characteristic of compactor garbage trucks is that they can compress different types of garbage before transferring them. A 12m³ compactor garbage truck has a high compression ratio and a large loading capacity: the crushing pressure is 12 tons, and the loading capacity is equivalent to two and a half times that of the same ton of non-compressed garbage, that is, it can load 12 tons × 2.5 times = 30 tons.
But can a 12m³ compactor garbage truck pull up to 12 tons? This depends on the garbage you load. If you load household garbage, even if it is full, it is difficult to reach 12 tons. If the garbage is mixed with heavy garbage such as construction waste, soil, gravel, iron filings, etc., it can reach 12 tons if it is full.
