This Scania P 280 6x2 Euro 6 is a used garbage truck — also commonly referred to as a refuse collection vehicle — built in 2015 and offered for sale at € 49,500. Garbage trucks of this kind are purpose-built for the municipal and waste-management sectors, collecting, compacting, and transporting household or commercial refuse from kerbside to disposal facility. Scania is a well-established Swedish manufacturer with a long history of producing heavy commercial vehicles, including trucks and specialist bodywork platforms, for demanding operational roles across Europe and worldwide.
The bodywork is a VDL Translift IES E MAXX side loader, making this a kerbside collection unit that lifts and empties wheeled bins automatically from the left or right flank of the vehicle. The superstructure is equipped with a double grabber and a diamond take-up mechanism, which together handle the automated gripping and tipping of containers. An extendable rear bumper and an onboard storage box complete the body equipment. Payload capacity is stated at 12,660 kg, with a maximum load capacity of 13 tonnes.
The chassis runs on three axles in a 6x2 configuration. The front axle carries a maximum axle load of 9,000 kg and is fitted with 385/55 22.5 tyres; notably, it is rated at 9 tonnes, a heavier-duty specification than is common on comparable trucks. The first rear axle is the driven axle, rated to 11,500 kg and shod with 315/70 22.5 tyres on twin (super-single inner/outer) fitment. The second rear axle is a liftable and steering tag axle, rated at 7,500 kg and fitted with 385/55 22.5 tyres; this trailing steer axle improves manoeuvrability on tight residential routes and can be raised when the truck is running unladen. Rear suspension is pneumatic (air suspension). Transmission is automatic. The engine displaces 9,291 cc across five cylinders and meets the Euro 6 emissions standard.
The cab is a day cab with seating for two. Cab equipment includes a central armrest, roof hatch, roof-mounted spoiler, air horn, and a camera system with monitor to assist the driver when operating the side loader or reversing. Warning lights are fitted as required for refuse collection work. The vehicle was originally operated as an ex-municipal fleet unit and is described as being in good general, technical, and visual condition throughout.
The odometer reads 159,334 km — low mileage for a 2015 refuse truck — and tyre profiles are recorded at 50% on the front and first rear axle and 60% on the liftable rear axle.
