Transfer Trailers

The Transfer Trailer design with the rolled walls and roof provides a smooth transition for material to be compacted into the trailer and ejected at landfill. The design allows for the trailers to be structurally strong while keeping the tare weight down to increase payload. The inclusion of the Hardox 450 grade material in the wall and roof increases the strength, wearability and durability of the trailers which enables the trailers to withstand the harsh working environment and the wide range of material that will be compacted into the trailer. The ejection blade is driven by a hydraulic system that includes a multistage cylinder that extends to push the blade and eject the material.

OGTEC is committed to providing high-quality, efficient, and reliable solutions for all your Transfer Station needs.

Role Of Waste Transfer Trailers In Transfer Station

Streamlining Waste Transport

One of the primary functions of a transfer station is to move collected waste from local areas to regional processing or disposal facilities. Without large trailers, collection trucks would need to travel long distances, which is time-consuming and costly. Waste transfer trailers streamline this process by consolidating waste into bulk loads, allowing fewer trips to be made while covering larger volumes. This improves overall logistics, reduces fuel consumption, and ensures that waste leaves the station in an organized and timely manner.

Keeping Operations Uninterrupted

At busy transfer stations, time is everything. If waste is not cleared quickly, trucks face delays, and the station risks becoming congested. Transfer trailers resolve this issue by promptly moving waste away from the unloading area, ensuring that incoming trucks can drop off loads without waiting. This continuous movement of material keeps the station organized, prevents bottlenecks, and allows staff to focus on handling waste more efficiently.

Protecting the Environment During Haulage

During transport, waste can produce unpleasant odors, liquids (known as leachate), or even loose debris that may scatter onto roads. Specialized transfer trailers are engineered to minimize these risks through sealed containers, leak-resistant floors, and tarp systems that secure waste. By containing and safely transporting materials, trailers help stations comply with strict environmental regulations. When paired with Industrial Shredders for Waste Management, they further reduce risks by ensuring that oversized or hazardous debris is compacted before transport.

Managing Different Waste Types

Waste entering a transfer station is not uniform; municipal solid waste, recyclables, green waste, and construction debris each require unique handling. Transfer trailers are versatile enough to accommodate these different streams with specialized designs, whether handling bulky debris, mixed municipal waste, Textile Recycling, or Organics Recycling streams that require containment and quick turnaround. This flexibility allows one facility to manage multiple waste types without having to invest in several transportation systems. As a result, stations can operate more cost-effectively and meet diverse disposal requirements.

Reducing Pressure On Collection Trucks

Collection trucks are designed primarily for neighborhood pickups, not for long-distance hauling. If these trucks were used to travel back and forth to disposal sites, they would quickly wear out, leading to higher maintenance costs and shorter lifespans. Transfer trailers alleviate this burden by taking over the long-haul journeys. This means collection vehicles only need to service local routes before returning to their communities, while trailers handle the bulk transportation. This division of roles keeps fleets in better condition and lowers overall operating expenses.

Customized Recycling Solutions Tailored To Your Needs

At OGTEC, we understand that every recycling and waste management operation has unique requirements. That’s why our transfer trailers are designed with versatility and durability in mind, offering a range of options that can be customized to suit your specific needs.

Flexible Sizes and Configurations

  • Body Sizes: 53m³ to 65m³ (usable)

Our trailers are available in a wide range of body capacities to suit different operational needs. Smaller capacities are well-suited for urban transfer stations with frequent trips, while larger capacities provide maximum efficiency for regional or high-volume facilities.

  • Configurations:

    • Tri-axle: Offers excellent maneuverability and stability, ideal for standard transfer operations.
    • Quad-axle: Designed for heavier payloads, providing better weight distribution and durability.
    • Road Train: Built for long-distance hauling and large-scale waste movement, maximizing capacity in extended transport systems.

Alongside tri-axle, quad-axle, and road train setups, we also provide ejection blade trailers designed for efficient unloading and reduced downtime during transfer operations.

Key Specifications

Our trailers are engineered to withstand heavy-duty use and harsh environments. Some of the standout features include:

  • Durable Build: Constructed with a Hardox 450 body and a 350-grade floor for superior strength and wear resistance, making them ideal for heavy loads such as Skip Bin Material Recycling.
  • Efficient Rear Door System: Hydraulic operation enables a rear door cycle time of just 15 seconds, improving turnaround speed.
  • Powerful Pump Capacity: Compatible with prime movers running at 100L/min for consistent hydraulic performance.
  • Multiple Door Options: Choose from top-hinged or side-hinged rear doors with manual or hydraulic operation.
  • Optimized Blade Cycle: Ejection blade trailers complete a full cycle in 4–5 minutes, ensuring quick and reliable unloading without the need to tip the trailer. This makes them ideal for facilities with height restrictions or uneven ground, where traditional tipping trailers may not be suitable.
  • Balanced Weight: Starting tare weight from 11,000kg, designed to maximize payload while minimizing empty trailer weight.
  • High Working Pressure: Operates at 2,100 PSI (144 bar) to ensure reliable power in demanding conditions.
  • Advanced Cylinder System: Five- or six-stage telescopic cylinders with a center support frame for smooth ejection.

Optional Enhancements

To provide even greater control and convenience, we also offer a selection of optional add-ons:

  • Lift the axle for better load distribution.
  • CCTV camera and monitor system for safe, precise operation.

On-board weighing system to monitor payload in real time.
