How many collection trucks' worth of garbage does a transfer trailer hold?

∙ 13y ago
Depends on the specifications of the collection trucks, as well as the dimensions of the trailer, and tare weight of the vehicle. Weight wise, a transfer truck, at best, could legally haul the weight of the payload of three tandem axle collection trucks - collection trucks are quite heavy, so transfer trailers often are, as well.
