Municipal vehicles of the MK-XX43 series, rear-loading MSW garbage trucks, are designed for mechanized collection of garbage from containers installed on stationary sites. They are well adapted to work in cramped conditions and can be used also where there is no containerized system of household waste collection.

Garbage trucks of MK-XX43 series are automobile chassis on which a frameless box-shaped body with an articulated tailgate is mounted. The bodies of this type of vehicles have two versions of 18m³ and 21,6m³ depending on the chassis used. The body is a welded frameless metal structure of an oval shape in cross-section, consisting of steel sheets, channels and steel square tubes in the base and closed front and rear contours. Inside the body there is an ejector plate consisting of a steel plate reinforced with profiles and a frame with guide elements.

In the lower part of the plate there is a central pivot for mounting the double-acting telescopic hydraulic cylinder. During the loading it serves as a resistance element against the pressure of the pressed waste. When the tailgate is open, it performs the unloading of the waste from the body. In the lower part of the tailgate there is a loading hopper, where MSW from containers is transferred. In the tailgate there is also a waste compacting mechanism consisting of a feed plate (carriage), with which the rotary pressing plate (knife) is articulated. The hydraulic cylinders are used to drive both elements.

The loading of the waste into the receiving bucket is carried out manually or mechanically by means of a gripper, which ensures the unloading of the contents of containers in accordance with EN 840-1, DIN 30740, DIN 30700, EN 840-2, EN 840-3 standards. Inside the body there is an ejector plate moved by a hydraulic cylinder, which is its movable front wall. The hydraulic system is of the HDC type (Heavy Duty Components) consists of top quality components (fittings according to DIN 2353 and tubes according to DIN 2391). All components are from leading European manufacturers.
