This Volvo Geesink Norba 250 is a used garbage truck — also commonly referred to as a refuse collection vehicle — built in 2019 and available in very good general, technical, and visual condition. Garbage trucks of this type are purpose-built for the collection and compaction of municipal and commercial waste, operating on regular collection routes and returning to transfer stations or landfill sites for emptying. Volvo is a well-established Swedish manufacturer with a long history of producing heavy commercial vehicles, including trucks and specialist chassis widely used in waste management, construction, and logistics.
The body fitted to this vehicle is a GeesinkNorba RL 200 rear-loader unit with a compaction body capacity of 14.5 cubic metres. The loading equipment is a GeesinkNorba L 200 lifting and tipping unit, designed to receive and empty standard waste containers at the rear of the vehicle. A hydraulic winch is also fitted, adding versatility for recovery or container-handling operations. The body is mounted on a day-cab chassis, making this a straightforward urban and suburban collection vehicle.
Drive is transmitted through an Allison automatic gearbox, which is a widely trusted choice in refuse vehicle applications for its durability under the repeated stop-start demands of collection work. The vehicle is a two-axle configuration. The front axle is a steering axle with a maximum axle load of 8,000 kg, fitted with 385/55R22.5 tyres. The rear axle carries a maximum axle load of 11,500 kg, is equipped with a differential lock, and runs on 315/70R22.5 twin tyres with single reduction gearing. Rear air suspension is fitted, which helps protect the body and chassis from the repeated shock loads associated with waste collection cycles and also contributes to ride comfort on varied road surfaces. An automatic lubrication system is noted, along with a power take-off to drive the body hydraulics.
Overall dimensions are recorded at 783 cm long, 254 cm wide, and 350 cm tall, with an overall length of approximately 8 metres and an overall width of approximately 3 metres. The engine displacement is 7,698 cc. Payload capacity is stated at 8,520 kg, with a total load capacity of 9 tonnes. The vehicle is described as a former rental unit and was previously operated in a rental fleet context. Cruise control, fog lights, and a CD radio are among the cab features noted.
