As the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia continues to modernize its urban infrastructure under Vision 2030, the demand for efficient waste management has never been higher. This training session focuses on the "Refuse Collection Vehicle" (RCV), a cornerstone of modern city sanitation.

Before starting the shift, operators must inspect hydraulic hoses for leaks, check the sewage tank capacity, and ensure the "Emergency Stop" buttons are functional.

• Align the vehicle with the waste containers.
• Engage the Power Take-Off (PTO) system to provide hydraulic power to the packer.

• Secure the bins onto the lifter (hanging bucket or triangle lifter).

• Once waste is in the hopper, the Slide Plate moves down, and the Sweep Plate rotates to "bite" the trash.
• The waste is then pushed into the main body against the Ejection Plate, which provides back-pressure to ensure high-density compaction.

At the landfill, the tailgate is lifted hydraulically, and the ejection plate pushes the compacted waste out from the front to the back.

Never attempt to clear a jam in the hopper while the PTO is engaged. Always use the safety locking bars when performing maintenance under a raised tailgate.

In the international market, this vehicle is known by several names. Understanding these terms is vital for procurement and technical communication in Saudi Arabia’s multicultural workforce:

Refuse Collection Vehicle (RCV) or Waste Compactor.

• "Bin Lorry" (UK/European influence)
• "Trash Truck" (North American influence)
• "Refuse Packer" (Commonly used by Chinese and Asian manufacturers)

In Saudi Arabia, they are often simply referred to as Sanitation Trucks or Compactors.

• Dongfeng (东风): Known for its "Tianjin" and "Dollicar" chassis, Dongfeng is the most common brand in Saudi Arabia due to its excellent balance of power and maintenance ease.
• FOTON (福田): Popular for light and medium-duty compactors, often used in the narrow streets of older urban districts.
• Shacman (陕汽): Specializes in heavy-duty 6x4 and 8x4 chassis for large-scale waste transfer operations.
• Sinotruk (Howo) (中国重汽): Highly regarded for their robust engines and ability to operate in the extreme heat of the Middle Eastern desert.
• Chengli (CLW) (程力): The largest specialized vehicle manufacturer in China, known for customizing the "upper body" (the compactor unit) for various chassis types.

When on Site Training in Saudi Arabia , Shine Wang said The corrosive nature of salt water is a major reason why Dongfeng Road Sweeper Truck are loaded "under deck" (inside the ship) rather than on top.

Salt water isn't just water; it is a chemical cocktail that can ruin a truck in a single voyage if not protected.
