SHACMAN L3000 4x2 210HP Skip Loader Garbage Truck 10m3

Technical Specifications

One Truck, Several Containers, No Waiting

▶ A skip loader works differently from a compactor: the container does the waiting, not the truck. An empty 10 m³ skip is set down at a housing estate, a site gate or a market, and the truck moves on to the next point. When a container is full, the driver returns, hooks the chains, and the swing arm lifts it onto the subframe; the loaded skip is then swapped for an empty one on the same visit.

The lift is hydraulic and deliberate. Twin cylinders, one along each side of the frame, push the arm through its arc, and the chains keep the container level as it rises. The rear stabilizer legs take the load off the springs during the lift, so the chassis stays planted on uneven ground. A mechanical lock plus a hydraulic lock hold the container on the subframe, and the operator works the valve bank behind the cab where the arm and container remain in view.

The chassis is the SHACMAN L3000 4x2 with a 210 hp badge, a day cab and an 18,000 kg gross weight rating. That is enough for a 10 m³ steel skip plus the arm and subframe, while keeping the truck narrow enough for compound roads and municipal alleys. Side guards, mud flaps, a rear ladder and marker lights in protected housings are part of the road equipment. Container count, waste density, collection radius and unloading point are the four numbers that decide how many skips to order with the truck.

Before You Order

• Count the collection points and decide how many containers you need. One truck can serve several skips, and the container count is usually the smallest number that keeps every point covered between visits.
• Tell us the waste type and density. Construction rubble, household refuse and green waste load the arm differently, and the container plate thickness and hydraulic pressure are set from the heaviest expected load.
• Describe the ground at each point. Rear stabilizer legs need a firm surface; on soft or sloping ground we confirm pad size and whether the lift should be done with the truck on level ground.
• Ask for the container drawing and hydraulic schematic. The skip is a separate asset that outlives the chassis, so its hooks, chains and door arrangement should match the way your crews load it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a container swap take?

About three minutes for a trained operator: position the truck, hook the chains, lift the loaded skip, set it down and pick up the empty one. Ground conditions and traffic at the point affect the real cycle more than the hydraulics do.

Can the truck carry more than one container?

It carries one container on the subframe at a time, but you can order several 10 m³ skips with the truck. The spare containers stay at the collection points, which is what removes the waiting time.

Is the container open or sealed?

The standard skip on this build is an open-top steel container for bulky household, commercial and construction waste. Sealed or lidded containers for wet or odorous waste are available as an option; tell us the waste type before the container is built.
