Spools work hand-in-hand with hydraulic components, most commonly cylinders. They maintain the movement necessary for the waste collection process by utilizing a push-pull method. This allows the hydraulic cylinders and other components to function properly when a garbage truck is grabbing and lifting a container. It can also help with tilting the container to collect the waste and setting it back down on the ground. Some spools are designed for the hydraulic components within the compactor as well to help with waste compaction. The spools available at Wastebuilt® are designed by Leach and McNeilus, which are two of the leading brands in the industry. Additionally, all items are tested and vetted by Wastebuilt® to ensure the spools are high-quality equipment that are reliable and consistent.
