The origin of hook arm garbage trucks

hook arm garbage truck, also known as carriage detachable garbage truck, is closely related to the continuous progress of garbage truck technology. Below is a detailed introduction to its development process:

Origin and Early Development of Foreign Countries

-1930s America: After the birth of automobiles, early garbage trucks were mostly open type, which had many problems during transportation, such as easy spillage of garbage and inability to effectively control odors and dust. Later on, covered garbage trucks emerged, equipped with waterproof enclosures and weight lifting dumping mechanisms. However, this type of garbage truck requires workers to lift the garbage bin to shoulder height when loading garbage, which is very labor-intensive. In order to save labor, George Robidenpost established the Dempster recycling station in 1935. They used elevators to load garbage into containers covered by garbage trucks, and then lowered the garbage bins through electrical levels. This measure greatly reduced labor by 75%.

-Innovation in the 1950s: In the mid-1950s, Dempster Truck Company invented the front loading and unloading garbage truck, which was the most advanced garbage truck at that time. It is equipped with a robotic arm that can easily pick up or put down containers, greatly reducing human labor intensity. This garbage truck has a very large capacity, capable of carrying 35-40 cubic meters of garbage, and performs well in handling commercial waste.

Technological development and application promotion

-The application of hydraulic technology: The key to detachable container garbage collectors lies in the use of hydraulic systems. The application of hydraulic technology makes the operation of garbage trucks more precise and convenient, enabling rapid loading and unloading of garbage. The initial design of the hook arm car was relatively simple, mainly relying on mechanical transmission to drive the steel wire hoisting mechanism, and lifting one end of the cargo box through rod support. With the continuous advancement of hydraulic technology, fully hydraulic system hook arm trucks have gradually replaced traditional mechanical transmission hook arm trucks and become the mainstream products in the market.

-Intelligence and environmental protection: With the continuous development of technology, hook arm garbage trucks are also constantly upgrading. Today's hook arm garbage trucks are equipped with advanced sensors, monitoring systems, and digital control modules, achieving intelligent management. These intelligent devices can monitor the real-time operation status of garbage trucks, improving the efficiency and safety of garbage transportation. At the same time, the hook arm garbage truck has also made significant improvements in environmental protection, such as adopting a sealed compartment, effectively preventing secondary pollution caused by garbage during transportation.

The Development of Chinese Hook arm Garbage Trucks

-Initial stage: The development of garbage trucks in China started relatively late, and it was not until the 1980s and 1990s that the first truly meaningful garbage truck appeared. At that time, the appearance of garbage trucks was very simple, similar to tricycles. The chassis used was the Shanghai 581 three wheeled chassis, with a load capacity of less than 3 tons, and loading and unloading garbage relied entirely on manual labor. This type of garbage truck not only has low efficiency in transporting garbage, but also easily causes secondary pollution.

-Rapid development stage: With the rapid development of China's economy and the continuous improvement of environmental awareness, hook lift garbage trucks have been widely used and developed in China. In recent years, many well-known hook arm garbage truck manufacturers have emerged in China, such as Cheng Liwei and Di Cheng. These enterprises continue to increase their R&D investment, introduce advanced production technology and equipment, and improve the quality and performance of their products. Nowadays, there are more and more types of hook arm garbage trucks in China, and their technological level is also becoming more advanced, which can meet the needs of different customers.

summarize

Hook arm garbage trucks originated from the continuous improvement of garbage trucks abroad, especially the application of hydraulic systems, which made the loading and unloading of garbage trucks more efficient and convenient. Although the development of hook arm garbage trucks in China started relatively late, they have also experienced rapid growth in recent years with the increasing demand for environmental protection and the continuous advancement of technology. In the future, with the continuous innovation of technology, hook arm garbage trucks are expected to continue to make new breakthroughs and developments in performance, functionality, and application areas.
