The Titan Advantage

Competitor Trucks: Average weight of 35,000 lbs empty, with loaded weights around 60,000 lbs

Titan Trucks: All trucks weigh less than 26,000 lbs empty - approximately half the weight of competitor trucks

What does this mean for you?

Vehicle weight is the main factor in road deterioration. These effects multiply with frequent stopping and turning. At 40k-60k lbs, garbage trucks significantly contribute to residential road wear.

Our single rear axle design eliminates the destructive "tire scrub" of tandem axle trucks - especially damaging to cul-de-sacs.

If you want to preserve your community streets or save money on private road maintenance, Titan is the clear choice.
