This chapter introduces the overview, structure and principles, overall design, container-handling device and control system, technical standards and professional performance tests, and the selection of hook-lift waste trucks. First, this chapter presents an overview of hook-lift waste trucks, describing their functions and features, classification, and use, as well as the development trends in this type of vehicle. Second, it explains the structure and working principle of hook-lift waste trucks, covering the main systems and their operating mechanisms. Third, the overall design of hook-lift waste trucks is discussed, including special performance parameters, structural dimension parameters, and mass parameters. Fourth, it details the container-handling device and control system, focusing on the hydraulic system—such as determination of system parameters and selection of main components—and the control system, including its function, use, and main components. Fifth, the chapter outlines technical standards and professional performance tests, addressing inspection regulations like delivery inspection, parameter measurement, and performance inspection and testing. Finally, the selection of hook-lift waste trucks is considered, with emphasis on the selection of chassis and the arm pulling device.
