If your business deals in waste collection, you have to invest in a particular type of heavy duty vehicles known as garbage trucks or refuse trucks. Also known as trash trucks, buying these vehicles can be confusing, owing to the wide range of options in designs, brands, and features. One of the other considerations is related to the choice between new and refurbished vehicles. In this post, we will offer a few tips for buying refuse trucks for your business. Types of Trucks Depending on your business operations, you have to decide on the type of refuse trucks required. If you are into commercial waste pickup, it is best to invest in front loaders that will easy the process of collection. Rear loaders are also a good option for the same purpose. For residential waste removal, side loader trucks are a better choice. If the lanes are too narrow, side loaders will still allow easy pickup from a large number of houses in a short time. Why Opt for Used Refuse Trucks? Refurbished refuse trucks cost a lot less than new models, and you can expect to buy something better for the same price. The only aspect that you must understand is maintenance. For a new truck, you will be paying a bigger price upfront, but there is an assurance of service and performance, at least for the next few years. With used trucks, you don’t have to pay a heavy initial price, but with regular use, there might be some extra expenses on repairs and maintenance. Depending on your needs and budget, a refurbished model may be just what you are looking for. Also, if you are looking for an additional vehicle for certain days, it is best to choose a used one. Look for Dealers If you are buying a restored and used trash truck, you need to be extra cautious about the dealership. Pick a dealer that directly works on the refurbishing process. The concerned agency must offer assurance on the entire restoration process and should provide sufficient details about the history of the vehicle. It is also wise to take a vehicle inspector along, so that you check for significant signs of damage, accidents and other specific issues. Apart from checking the exteriors of the car, it is also wise to look under the hood to know the exact engine and chassis number. Just like you would do extensive research before buying a used car, the same rules apply for used refuse trucks. As a customer, you need to be more prudent and careful, as the purchase directly impacts your business operations. There are a few small things that you may consider before making an investment. Besides proper maintenance, the truck should have low mileage. If possible, it is worthy to consider complete reconditioning and painting of the vehicle. Some dealers may offer additional assistance with financing, so before you check with lenders, make sure to check with the concerned dealership. Don’t hesitate in seeking multiple quotes for different vehicles to know the options better.
