Body’s main components are the hopper (Figure 1-3), the packer (Figure 1-3), the 2 packer cylinders
(Figure 1-4), the crusher panel (Figure 1-3) and the tailgate (Figure 1-5).
The hopper is the area of the body where the waste is dumped. The packer is the piece of equipment
that pushes the waste into the body. Retraction and extension of the packer are made possible by 2
double-acting cylinders. The crusher panel is used to crush large pieces of waste materials. The
tailgate is the rear door that prevents waste from exiting the body during collection. At landfill site, the
tailgate is fully raised to enable the discharge of the waste.
