Generally speaking, a side loader can refer to three entirely different things.
Still, the most common side loaders are garbage trucks, and that is what this web page is all about. Replacing the once common rear loading dump trucks, side loading trucks take a lot of the unpleasant work out of trash collection. Featuring a large hydraulic arm or "boom," these garbage trucks simply pull up along side a trash can and use the hydraulic system to lift the trash can and dump it into the trailer for compaction. This makes the job of a trash collector infinitely more comfortable and keeps unpleasant lifting and physical contact with trash to a minimum. Because side loaders are so convenient, they have revolutionized the trash collection industry. Most cities have converted entirely to trucks that use hydraulic systems in the front and sides. Today trash collectors rarely have to leave the cab of their trucks and almost never have to lift a garbage can. Side Loaders for Sale.
