This Mercedes-Badged garbage truck — also commonly referred to as a refuse collection vehicle — is a rear-loading compactor built for municipal and commercial waste collection operations. Mercedes is a globally recognised manufacturer of heavy commercial vehicles, supplying trucks across logistics, construction, municipal services, and many other industries. This particular example pairs a Mercedes chassis with a Terberg RosRoca Olympus 23W superstructure, producing a purpose-built machine for high-efficiency refuse collection on urban and suburban routes.
The Terberg RosRoca Olympus 23W body offers a cylindrical-form construction specifically engineered to maximise volumetric capacity, rated at 23 cubic metres. The loading floor is keel-shaped and includes an integrated floor channel and collection tray to contain spillage and liquids. Compaction cylinders are positioned outside the rear loader, a design choice that keeps them away from the waste stream and simplifies maintenance access. The body is compatible with DIN, ETB, and comb (kam) lifting systems, making it adaptable to a wide range of bin types in use across European waste collection networks.
Loading is semi-automatic via the Terberg system and includes a Single-Man-Trade lifting function, which allows a single operator to handle collections without an additional crew member at the kerb. The Auto Gather function extends this capability further by enabling automatic recording and emptying of four-wheel containers via the comb attachment. The foldable DIN arms add operational flexibility and help reduce the vehicle's profile when not in use. A rear-view camera is fitted to the superstructure to assist the operator during reversing, and the system includes automatic lifting when the vehicle moves both forwards and backwards, reducing manual intervention during the collection cycle.
The chassis runs on three axles. The front axle is a steering axle with a maximum axle load of 7,500 kg. The primary rear axle is a driven unit with a differential lock and a maximum axle load of 11,500 kg, reduced through single reduction, and is rated at 13 tonnes on the technical specification. The second rear axle is also a steering axle with a maximum axle load of 7,500 kg. Tyre size across the vehicle is 315/80-22.5, fitted with twin rear tyres. Overall dimensions are recorded at approximately 10 metres in length, 3 metres in width, and 3.6 metres in height. The cab seats three occupants, the engine displacement is listed at 10,677 cc, and the payload capacity is stated at 10,470 kg, with a kerb weight of approximately 15,530 kg. Transmission type is automatic.
The vehicle is equipped with air suspension on the rear axle or axles, an aluminium fuel tank, a 12-volt connection in the cab, remote central locking, a roof hatch, a sun visor, warning lights, electric windows, cruise control, and a camera with monitor in the cab. It meets Euro 6 emissions standards. This unit was previously used as a rental vehicle in Germany, registered under the plate KLEAN229, and is dated 2024. General, technical, and visual condition are all reported as very good.
