This 2009 Mercedes Actros 3236 L 8x2/6 is a used garbage truck — also commonly referred to as a refuse collection vehicle — offered for sale in Belgium at €32,292. Garbage trucks are purpose-built municipal and commercial waste collection vehicles designed to collect, compact, and transport solid refuse from kerbside or container points to disposal or processing facilities. Mercedes is a globally recognised manufacturer with a long-established presence in heavy commercial transport, producing trucks that serve logistics, construction, municipal, and utility sectors across the world.
The truck is configured as an 8x2/6 with two steering axles, one of which is a trailing rear steered axle and one a forward-steered leading axle, a layout that improves manoeuvrability and distributes axle loads effectively for urban refuse collection routes. It is fitted with a Schörling body and a Zöller lifting and tipping mechanism, which is the rear-loading compaction and bin-lift unit used to collect and compact household and commercial waste into the body.
The cab is well equipped for operational comfort and driver welfare. It features a comfort seat, a double bench seat, and seat heating, along with electric mirrors that are also heated, electric windows on both sides, a rear cab window, and a sun visor. Air conditioning is fitted as standard, and cruise control is included for longer transfer drives. The transmission is Mercedes' Telligent automatic gearbox (second generation), which provides automated gear changes suited to frequent stop-start urban cycling.
Safety and driveline management systems include ABS anti-lock braking and ASR traction control, along with a differential lock and a constant throttle retarder for controlled deceleration. A power take-off is fitted to drive the body's hydraulic compaction and lifting system. The suspension combines leaf and air elements, and the truck carries the low-noise classification G1. Additional practical features include fog lights, a rotating beacon, lateral aluminium underrun protection, a roof hatch, an exhaust routed high, and a green environmental badge (Umweltplakette), confirming compliance with the relevant emissions standard for access to German low-emission zones.
