MERCEDES-BENZ ECONIC Trucks For Sale in COUNTY CARLOW

Mercedes Econic Refuse Truck Review

The Mercedes Econic range is intended to be an efficient and modern entry in the Mercedes-Benz family of commercial vehicles. And since it comes with the option of a refuse body, it can be used for the collection of waste by organisations that require such duties to be executed by a vehicle which will last for years without becoming a burden. The low-entry cabs are perfect for waste collection because they allow operators to climb in and out without being overly fatigued, giving it the edge over other older machines. And with a host of cutting-edge technology included to improve safety and productivity, the Econic refuse trucks are one step ahead of the competition. This applies to used models just as much as new variants, since Mercedes-Benz endeavours to keep its vehicles at the forefront of engineering innovation.

On Board Weighers

Modern features available on the Econic range include a system that relays information about the weight of the load that is on board at any given time, monitoring each of the individual axles to ensure that operators have real-time updates about how much material has been collected and when the capacity is close to being reached. Because these trucks also feature wiring to facilitate the integration of reversing cameras, used models can often come with these additions to make things even safer. The driver is given an excellent view of their surroundings even without cameras on board thanks to the panoramic windscreen and well-positioned and easy-to-adjust mirrors. Adverse road conditions can also be tackled with ease thanks to ESP, ABS and various other automated safety systems that keep the Econic refuse trucks on the right track.

Strong, Alloy Cabs

Modern Econic refuse models come with cabs that are built using alloy frames, and this means they are light while still being very strong, ensuring that they meet current regulations for protection during collisions. The doors open inwards, meaning that operators not only have easy access thanks to the height of the entry points, but will not have any issues getting in and out when space around the vehicle is tight. Low- and high-roof models are available, with the latter offering integrated overhead lockers so that the crew can keep belongings and equipment stored safely when they are out on the road. Meanwhile, additions such as the electronic sunblind and the impressive ventilation systems mean that everyone who is on board will be comfortable and content, whatever the weather.

The refuse body of the Econic range of trucks can come with bin lifts built to handle trade bins, wheelie bins or a combination of the two. This means you will need to check which type of lift is included when buying used to make sure a truck fits your needs. You should also ensure that these hydraulic systems, as well as any other mechanisms, are working correctly. Ex-council examples of the Econic refuse truck range are a feature of the second-hand market and make it simpler to secure a well-maintained model from this respected Mercedes-Benz group of vehicles.
