The Optimizer
TM
is a front load refuse collection vehicle. It picks up dumpsters from two to
ten cubic yard volume and dumps their content into its body. Once the body is full, all its
content is unloaded on a waste management landfil. This vehicle is conceived to be
operated by only one person at a time and uses a series of hydraulic, pneumatic,
mechanic, and electrical systems to perform its work routine.

Product Overview

being the area of the body receiving the waste, the packer being the element that
compresses the waste in the body and the tailgate being the component allowing waste to
either stay in the body or to come out when unloading.
