K-7 Refuse Truck
Efficient refuse collection is vital to the health, as well as to the attraction of our cities. In recent years, many household items have been made available in easily disposable packs, cartons or aerosols, adding somewhat to the chores of the dustman and presenting a new problem to the vehicle designer. Today, household refuse loaded into the vehicle by mechanical means and then compressed in the lorry by a plate moving towards the bulkhead. Shelvoke and Drewry have been in the business for many years and their vehicles are employed by many municipalities. Of light alloy construction, the body tips the refuse at he final disposal site.
