With Hardox® In My Body™ and Amrep’s industry-leading design, these truck bodies are built to handle the most challenging jobs while minimizing downtime and maintenance costs. Trust the proven strength and extended service life of Amrep’s Hardox® refuse bodies to keep your operation running efficiently and reliably.

Why Choose Amrep® By Wastequip® Garbage and Recycling Trucks? 

The Amrep by Wastequip line of garbage and recycling trucks lasts the longest under high-stress environments. The Hardox® In My Body program certifies Amrep By Wastequip as the only US manufacturer and one of only two garbage and recycling truck manufacturers in the world to use the premium Hardox® steel in their refuse bodies. In addition, Amrep is the only manufacturer in the world that manufactures its entire body with Hardox, rather than just for portions of the truck builds. Hardox® wear plates extend the useful life of a truck body by increasing its resistance to blows and dents, which is especially critical for vehicles like garbage trucks that operate in harsh conditions. Known for their rugged construction, these Hardox-built trucks are designed to withstand heavy loads and rough use, making them particularly popular in environments with high equipment wear demands. Therefore, Amrep trucks often require fewer replacement parts over time.

Amrep by Wastequip’s strength in customization provides a significant competitive edge. Customizable body designs, including for non-CDL trucks, loading mechanisms, and waste-specific configurations, enable operators to optimize truck build specs based on route demands. This means Amrep trucks can be adapted to the specific waste collection needs of any municipal or private hauler requirements. Whether for residential or commercial use, these fully customizable garbage trucks are the perfect solution for anywhere, no matter the challenge or the diversity of routes. MTech is proud to partner with a complete solutions provider like Amrep and proud to provide the full comprehensive offering line-up of front, automated-side, manual-side, and rear-load trucks.

Amrep trucks contain features that enhance safety and efficiency, such as automated loading systems to reduce manual labor, advanced operator controls, and eco-friendly elements. As the industry’s leading electric garbage and recycling truck manufacturer, Amrep by Wastequip also integrates alternative fuel options, efficient hydraulic systems, and compacting mechanisms that reduce fuel consumption and emissions. This aligns with environmental standards, making our trucks ideal for both refuse and recycling operations.

Amrep By Wastequip trucks are the most cost-effective and reliable option, with solid performance and lower maintenance costs. Hardox® wear plates increase load-carrying capacity without a corresponding increase in gross vehicle weight. By eliminating the need for some reinforcement, trucks built with this revolutionary material may also use less fuel. If you’re looking for a cost-effective and reliable solution, Amrep by Wastequip trucks are the best choice for waste and recycling applications.

Amrep by Wastequip integrates practical and tested solutions, such as automated loading and efficient compacting mechanisms, rather than adding an extensive suite of unnecessary technologies. This helps extend route capacity, allowing more pick-ups before a truck needs to unload, improving efficiency without adding the complexity of some advanced systems. This simplicity also makes Amrep trucks more user-friendly and accessible. They are simple to use, reliable, and highly durable, making them ideal for efficient waste and recycling management.

MTech provides quick access to service options and offers maintenance where trucks are used most heavily. We stock the parts you need and offer parts delivery and on-site service for all makes and models. Garbage and recycling trucks are constantly used, and we understand that downtime can be costly. Our trucks are built with ease of maintenance in mind, simplifying repairs and replacements for the MTech service team.

What is Hardox® In My Body™?

Hardox® In My Body™ is a globally recognized quality certification that guarantees products are crafted using premium Hardox® wear plates. Known for its superior durability, strength, and wear resistance, Hardox® steel is the gold standard for industries requiring high-performance materials. Products bearing the Hardox® In My Body™ mark meet stringent quality and performance criteria, ensuring reliability in demanding applications like refuse trucks and other heavy-duty vehicles.

Amrep by Wastequip has been a pioneer in adopting Hardox® wear plates for refuse bodies, integrating them into production in 2001. Today, Amrep is the only refuse truck manufacturer in the world to use Hardox® 450 wear plate throughout the entire body shell—covering the hopper, body, and door—making it the strongest refuse body in the industry.

How can it keep my truck body from blowouts?

Amrep’s use of Hardox® wear plates throughout the entire body shell delivers unmatched durability, effectively preventing blowouts and structural failures. Here’s how Hardox® offers superior protection:

Hardox® wear plate absorbs impacts far better than standard steel, preventing structural fractures that could compromise a refuse truck body during demanding and abusive operations. It takes on heavy blows without denting or cracking, further extending the truck body’s life.

Amrep utilizes Hardox® 450—an abrasion-resistant steel with a nominal hardness of 450 HBW—throughout the hopper, body, and door. This uniform reinforcement in all critical areas eliminates weak points that can lead to blowouts, ensuring excellent yield and tensile strength that keeps the structure intact without deforming.

Hardox® steel is engineered to withstand intense wear, reducing erosion from abrasive and heavy loads. Its extreme resistance to wear extends the service life of the equipment by two, three, five times, or more—keeping truck bodies intact for longer with minimal maintenance.

Hardox® bodies are both lighter and more durable. The core strength of the material eliminates the need for reinforcing beams on the outside, reducing overall weight while increasing load capacity.
