This 2009 Mercedes garbage truck — also referred to as a refuse collection vehicle — is a purpose-built municipal waste collection machine designed to gather, compact, and transport household or commercial refuse. Mercedes is a widely recognised manufacturer of heavy commercial vehicles, supplying trucks and specialist bodywork to local authorities, waste management contractors, and utilities operators across Europe and beyond.
The cab is configured for the crew that typically accompanies a refuse vehicle on its round, with a comfort seat for the driver alongside a double bench seat for additional operatives. Occupant comfort is well catered for: the seats are heated, there is air conditioning, and the cab features electrically operated mirrors with heating, electric windows on both sides, a roof hatch, and cruise control. Safety systems fitted include ABS anti-lock braking and ASR anti-slip regulation for traction control.
The drivetrain is equipped with an automatic gearbox and a constant throttle device, along with a power take-off to drive the bodywork. Exhaust routing is high-mounted, which is characteristic of vehicles working in pedestrian environments. Suspension is air-sprung for ride comfort and load levelling, and the rear axle is hydraulically steered — a configuration that aids manoeuvrability on tight residential streets. Lateral aluminium step guards are fitted for crew safety. The body is a Zöller Medium XL unit with a Zöller hopper/tipping mechanism for bin-lifting operations. Additional working-environment equipment includes a rotating beacon and the vehicle meets the German low-noise classification G1. Rotating-light equipment, raise-and-lower functionality, and a green environmental badge complete the specification. The truck is offered in used condition at € 23,652.
