How Commercial Tilt & Cube Trucks Work
These clever trucks operate on a brilliantly simple principle that saves backs and boosts efficiency. Cube trucks feature four wheels with a rectangular or square design for stable, level transport of materials or waste. Tilt trucks, meanwhile, have a sloped front that pivots on an axle—once wheeled to the dumping point, you can tip the entire container forward, allowing gravity to empty the contents without manual lifting. Most models feature ergonomic handles and smooth-rolling casters that allow a single person to maneuver loads that would otherwise require multiple staff to lift—turning what was once a two-person faff into a one-person task!

Top Tips for Using Commercial Tilt & Cube Trucks
To get the best from your trucks, establish clear weight limits and train staff properly—many injuries happen when overloading. Implement a regular cleaning schedule using pressure washers or industrial cleaners, particularly for food waste applications. For tilt trucks, always use the foot brake when tipping to prevent runaway accidents. Consider investing in truck covers or lids to contain odours and prevent pests, especially if storing trucks outdoors between collections.
