E-Rickshaw Garbage Vehicle 12V/48V DC Power Pack
An E-Rickshaw Garbage Vehicle is a compact, electric waste-collection vehicle widely used for door-to-door garbage collection in urban and rural areas. The 12V/48V DC Power Pack is the heart of the hydraulic system in these vehicles, used to power lifting, tipping, and compaction mechanisms.
Lifting Hopper or Garbage Bin: Raises or tilts bins for easy unloading.
Tipping the Load Bed: Tilts the garbage container for dumping waste.
Operating Hydraulic Cylinders: Controls hydraulic movement for compaction or door opening.
Compact Design Use: Suitable for narrow lanes and congested areas where big vehicles can't go.
Energy-efficient Waste Management: Works using the vehicle's battery power.
Compact but Powerful: Performs mechanical functions with limited space and energy.
Low Maintenance: Minimal components compared to combustion-powered systems.
Eco-Friendly: No fossil fuel usage, contributing to clean urban environments.
Enables Mechanization: Reduces manual labor in waste lifting and unloading.
Electrical motors, hydraulic pumps, reservoirs, valves, cylinders, and fittings are procured.
Steel or aluminum reservoirs are fabricated.
DC motors are fixed onto pump brackets.
All components are assembled on a common baseplate.
Motor, pump, reservoir, and valve manifold are integrated.
Hydraulic lines are tested for pressure and leakage.
Electrical wiring for control switches is connected to the vehicle battery.
System is tested under simulated load conditions.
Leakage, back pressure, flow rate, and actuation time are measured.
Component | Function |
---|---|
DC Motor (12V or 48V) | Converts electrical energy into mechanical power to drive the hydraulic pump. |
Hydraulic Pump | Draws hydraulic fluid and creates flow under pressure. |
Oil Reservoir | Stores hydraulic oil for circulation. |
Solenoid Valves | Controls flow direction in hydraulic cylinders. |
Relief Valve | Protects system from over-pressure. |
Directional Control Valve | Directs oil to extend or retract cylinders. |
Hoses & Fittings | Carry pressurized fluid to actuators. |
Mounting Plate/Frame | Structure to hold and mount the power pack on the vehicle. |
Battery Operated: Uses the same battery as the vehicle; no need for external power.
Smart Integration: Can be automated or manually controlled via toggle switch.
Compact & Lightweight: Designed for small electric vehicles.
Eco-Friendly: Zero emissions and supports sustainable waste management.
Easy Maintenance: Modular components allow easy replacement and repair.
Low Operating Cost: No fuel cost; very efficient in power use.
Application Area | Function |
---|---|
Municipal Garbage Vehicles | For tilting bins and unloading waste. |
Small-Scale Waste Collection Units | Mechanization in narrow lanes. |
Society Waste Collection | Community garbage transport. |
Smart City Vehicles | Integrated into smart waste management fleets. |
Compact Utility Vehicles (CUVs) | Where compact hydraulics are essential. |
Mechanizes Waste Handling: Reduces dependence on labor.
Improves Hygiene: Eliminates need for manual waste unloading.
Boosts Efficiency: Faster unloading = more trips per day.
Reduces Carbon Footprint: Fully electric operation.
Empowers Urban Sanitation Workers: Easier, safer waste handling.
12V: Lower power consumption, used in small tipping vehicles.
48V: Higher force output, used in vehicles with heavier payload.
Yes, with a custom frame, hydraulic cylinder, and proper wiring.
Directly connected to the e-rickshaw battery system.
The 12V/48V DC Power Pack is a crucial innovation in modern, sustainable waste management systems, especially when used in E-Rickshaw Garbage Vehicles. It enhances operational efficiency, reduces manual workload, and supports environmentally friendly garbage disposal.
With India's growing focus on clean cities, electric mobility, and smart waste collection, such compact hydraulic systems are no longer optional—they're essential. Affordable, robust, and designed for tough urban conditions, the DC power pack represents the future of decentralized and sustainable sanitation solutions.
