This 2014 Volvo is a used garbage truck — sometimes referred to as a refuse collection vehicle or dustcart — designed for the collection and compaction of municipal solid waste. Volvo is a globally recognised Swedish manufacturer with a long-established presence in heavy commercial vehicles, including trucks built for demanding urban and industrial service environments.
The body is a Zoeller unit of type MED XL with a 25 m³ compaction body, offering substantial capacity for a single collection run. Loading is compatible with KAM, DIN, and ETB bin-lifting systems, giving it flexibility across a range of standard container types encountered in municipal refuse collection. A Welvaarts onboard weighing system is fitted, allowing payload to be recorded at the point of collection — a common requirement for waste management operations tracking tonnage per route. The vehicle is rated at a payload capacity of 9,503 kg, with a recorded gross vehicle weight of approximately 17,497 kg.
The truck is configured on a three-axle chassis. The front axle carries a maximum axle load of 8,000 kg with steering capability. The first rear axle is fitted with a differential lock and carries a maximum load of 11,500 kg through a single-reduction arrangement. The second rear axle carries a maximum load of 7,500 kg and is also a steered axle, aiding manoeuvrability in tight urban environments. Tyre size across all axles is 315/70 22.5, fitted as twin rear tyres. Overall dimensions are recorded at approximately 10 m in length, 3 m in width, and 3.6 m in height.
Power is provided by a six-cylinder engine with a displacement of 10,837 cm³, meeting Euro 6 emissions standards. The Volvo Engine Brake (VEB) is installed, providing engine-based retardation to assist with controlled deceleration, particularly useful on loaded downhill runs. Transmission is the Volvo I-Shift automated gearbox. The fuel system comprises a 405-litre aluminium tank alongside a 90-litre AdBlue tank to support the SCR aftertreatment required for Euro 6 compliance.
The cab is a day cab seating two, equipped with rear air suspension, a central armrest, a roof hatch, a roof spoiler, a toolbox, warning lights, and a reversing camera with monitor. An Audio Advanced package is also included. General, technical, and visual condition are all rated as good by the seller, and the vehicle carries registration number 86-BFF-2.
