HOWO 18 m³ Rear Loader Garbage Truck
HOWO 6×4 Rear Loader Garbage Truck (15–18 m³)
The HOWO 6×4 rear loader garbage truck is engineered for efficient municipal waste collection and transfer. With a large-capacity compression body, high-strength materials, and a reliable hydraulic system, it ensures continuous and safe operation for urban sanitation fleets.
High Volume and Compression Efficiency
With a compaction volume of 15–18 m³ and a compression ratio of 3.5:1, this truck achieves an effective load of up to 10,100 kg. The optimized structure provides increased waste density, reducing transport frequency and improving efficiency.
Durable Construction
The body is built from Q345 high-strength steel, with 5 mm thick side plates and 6 mm bottom plates for superior durability and long service life, even under frequent heavy loading operations.
Advanced Hopper and Tailgate Systems
Equipped with a 2.4 m³ swing-type hopper and a tailgate with six-point hydraulic locks and double-lip rubber sealing, the system ensures leak-free operation and safe maintenance with mechanical support rods and safety interlocks.
Efficient Hydraulic and Control Systems
The hydraulic system operates at a pressure of ≥16 MPa and a flow rate of 80 L/min, providing powerful, smooth, and responsive compaction. Operators can control the system from the cab, side control panels, or through a manual multi-way valve, ensuring flexibility and safety.
Fast and Reliable Operation
The truck features an optimized working cycle: compression ≤24 s, lifting ≤15 s, and discharge ≤55 s. This enables faster turnaround and higher productivity in waste management operations.
Safety and Auxiliary Systems
Equipped with hydraulic locks, back-pressure valves, mechanical support rods, and emergency stop buttons, the vehicle guarantees operator safety and system reliability under all working conditions.
Flexible Compatibility
The integrated hydraulic bin lifter is compatible with 120L, 240L, and 660L garbage bins, meeting diverse waste collection needs across residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
Optional Feeding Mechanisms
Customers can choose between a triangular bucket or swing arm feeding mechanism, allowing the vehicle to adapt to different urban waste management systems.
Reliable HOWO 6×4 Chassis
Built on the HOWO ZZ1257 chassis, powered by the MC07H.35-60 engine (257 kW / 350 HP) and HW19710 10-speed gearbox, this model offers strong torque, stable power output, and excellent performance for long-term municipal use.
Comfortable and Ergonomic Cab
The HW76 extended cab includes air conditioning and ergonomic design, ensuring operator comfort during extended shifts and enhancing driving safety and efficiency.
