Frequently Asked Questions

Expert answers to common questions about rear loader garbage trucks

What is the compaction ratio of Kademe rear loader garbage trucks? +
Kademe rear loader garbage trucks achieve a compaction ratio of 5:1 to 6:1 for domestic waste. This means that 5 to 6 cubic meters of loose waste can be compressed into 1 cubic meter of compacted volume, significantly reducing the number of trips to disposal facilities and lowering operational costs.
Which chassis brands are compatible with Kademe garbage compactor systems? +
Kademe systems are compatible with leading chassis brands including Ford Trucks, Mercedes-Benz, MAN, Iveco, Scania, Isuzu, and Otokar. This flexibility allows municipalities and waste management companies to choose chassis based on their preferences, local service availability, and budget requirements.
How long does a complete compaction cycle take? +
The complete compaction cycle takes between 20 to 35 seconds depending on waste density and volume. This fast cycle time ensures maximum productivity during collection routes, allowing operators to service more containers per hour and complete routes more efficiently.
What container sizes can Kademe rear loaders handle? +
Standard systems handle 120L and 240L plastic bins, as well as 0.4, 0.8, and 1.1 m³ metal containers in compliance with DIN 30700 and EN840 standards. Optional arm lifter or winch systems can handle larger containers from 3 to 8 m³, providing versatility for different waste collection scenarios.
What capacity should I choose for my municipality? +
Capacity selection depends on several factors: 6-8 m³ models are ideal for narrow residential streets and historic centers; 10-15 m³ models suit mixed urban environments and standard municipal operations; 18-22 m³ models are best for industrial zones, highways, and long-distance routes. Consider daily waste volume, route characteristics, and distance to disposal facilities when selecting capacity.
What material is used in the construction of the hopper body? +
The hopper body is manufactured from high-strength ST-52 (S355J2) steel. The floor plate is 3-5mm thick, while side walls range from 3-5mm depending on the model. This robust construction ensures exceptional durability, resistance to wear and corrosion, and long service life even under heavy-duty municipal waste collection operations.
Are Kademe rear loader garbage trucks environmentally friendly? +
Yes, Kademe trucks feature leak-proof designs preventing liquid waste spillage, optional wastewater tanks (80-150L) for hygiene compliance, and recyclable waste compartments supporting waste separation. High compaction ratios reduce fuel consumption and emissions by minimizing trips to disposal facilities, making them an environmentally responsible choice for modern waste management.
What is the hydraulic system operating pressure? +
The hydraulic system operates at 170-190 bar working pressure, powered by a hydraulic pump with 36-90 cm³/rev capacity running at up to 1500 rpm. The system includes an 80-240L oil tank and is driven by a PTO unit operating at 750-1500 rpm, ensuring reliable and continuous performance for all compaction and lifting operations.
Does Kademe provide after-sales service and spare parts? +
Yes, Kademe is recognized as an industry leader in after-sales service support. We maintain a comprehensive service network, provide genuine spare parts, and offer technical support to ensure maximum uptime for your fleet. Our ISO 9001 certified manufacturing and CE certified products are backed by expert maintenance teams.
What is the return on investment for a Kademe rear loader garbage truck? +
Kademe rear loaders deliver excellent ROI through: reduced fuel consumption (fewer trips due to 5:1-6:1 compaction), lower maintenance costs (durable ST-52 steel construction), increased productivity (20-35 second cycle times), and extended service life (robust engineering and quality materials). Total cost of ownership is significantly lower compared to standard waste collection vehicles.
