Side-loading garbage trucks with MK-x554-xx body series with a modernized pressing mechanism (with a pendulum plate), with an automatic control system for pressing process. Frameless body design. The compression ratio - up to 6.

Simplicity of design, accessibility to the units for maintenance, the highest specific pressing pressure of 0.5 MPa, the presence of an automatic control system (hereinafter ACS), ensuring ease of operation make the garbage trucks reliable and highly productive in operation.

The body of the vehicles is made of high-quality low-alloy structural steel 09G2S, which facilitates its construction without loss of strength. In the front part of the body there is a press chamber, which has a reduced overall width (by 800 mm), sufficient for collecting waste accumulated in containers of all existing standards up to 1300 liters. The press chamber has a simpler, more reliable and repairable design compared to the previous models.

The pressing plate is mounted on hinges in the upper part of the press chamber. Hydraulic cylinders for the plate drive are located outside the press chamber, performing backward and rotary movements. The press chamber is closed with a lid from above. A semi-circular tailboard with increased capacity (up to 0.9 m3) is pivotally fixed to the rear part of the bunker; it is opened with hydraulic cylinders.

In the transport position, the tailboard is pressed against the bunker along an inclined surface (to improve the tightness of the body) and locked with clamps. A P-shaped rubber seal is fixed at the bottom of the tailboard, ensuring the tightness of the body due to the tight fit of the tailboard to the body. When pressing waste, moisture is released, the tightness of the body is ensured by the height of the rubber seal of the tailboard (1500 mm).

The body is pivotally mounted on the subframe. The body has a U-profile base resting against the subframe. Waste is unloaded using a dump truck. The body lifting mechanism is driven by double-acting hydraulic cylinders.
