This 2011 Mercedes garbage truck — sometimes referred to as a refuse collection vehicle — is a purpose-built waste collection machine used for the kerbside collection and compaction of municipal or commercial refuse. Mercedes is a well-established manufacturer with a long history of producing commercial vehicles, trucks, and vans that serve industries ranging from logistics and construction to municipal services worldwide.
The truck is built on a Mercedes Sprinter 513 CDI 4x2 chassis and is fitted with a Contex Pressmüllaufbau compaction body of approximately 6 cubic metres capacity, making it well suited to smaller collection rounds, urban streets, or sites where a full-size refuse lorry would be impractical.
The cab is configured with a double bench seat and features electric mirrors, electric windows on both the left and right sides, and ABS anti-lock braking as standard. Traction control (ASR) is also fitted, improving stability and grip on slippery or uneven surfaces. Drive is transmitted via an automatic gearbox, which is a practical advantage for stop-start refuse collection work. A power take-off (PTO) is installed to drive the bodywork's hydraulic compaction system. Visibility and safety on the road are supported by a rotating beacon light.
Additional practical equipment includes a storage box (Staukasten), leaf spring suspension, underbody protection, and side aluminium step guards to protect the vehicle during kerbside operations. The truck carries a green environmental badge, confirming it meets the relevant emissions standard for access to low-emission zones.
This used garbage truck is offered at €17,172.
