Emerging Trend in the Waste Collection Sector: Visual Proof Is Becoming Essential

More and more municipalities and waste collection companies are now requiring visual proof of container pickups. This growing demand aims to improve operational transparency, reduce disputes over missed bins, and strengthen public trust.

Video confirmation lifting system for garbage trucks

A video confirmation lifting system for garbage trucks uses cameras to visually record each container pickup, providing proof of collection and enabling remote verification. These systems can help optimize routes, improve billing accuracy, and resolve potential disputes.

Here’s how such a system works:

Onboard Cameras

Cameras are installed on the truck—typically at the rear and sides—to capture images or video of each container being lifted.

Data Recording and Storage

The footage is recorded and stored along with metadata such as date, time, location, and container ID (if an identification system is used).

Remote Access

Authorized personnel can access the recorded data via an online platform to verify pickups, resolve issues, and optimize operations.

Benefits

Proof of Pickup:
- Images and videos serve as tangible proof of waste collection, useful in case of disputes with clients or suppliers.
Route Optimization:
- Analyzing recorded data can help optimize collection routes and reduce mileage.
Accurate Billing:
- Data can be used for precise billing based on the number of pickups, volume of waste collected, or other criteria.
Real-Time Tracking:
- Systems can enable real-time tracking of truck location and collection status.
Improved Safety:
- Cameras can help identify hazardous situations and improve safety for drivers and operators.

Related Technologies:

Video lift confirmation systems can be integrated with other technologies such as GPS tracking.

Alltech Group’s NBS System: A Complete Solution

To meet this growing trend, Alltech Group offers a proven technological solution: the NBS high-definition camera system, paired with a robust recorder. This system captures each container pickup in real time, providing timestamped and archivable visual proof.

But that’s not all: the system can support up to 4 cameras, covering not only the pickup zone but also the truck’s blind spots, enhancing maneuvering safety and overall operational visibility.

Key Technical Features:

1080P AHD cameras with infrared vision and heated housing, ideal for winter conditions.
Waterproof high-definition monitor with quad display for simultaneous multi-angle viewing.
DVR recorder for secure video archiving.

Already Trusted by Industry Leaders

The NBS system is already in use at Service Sanitaire J.L.R. Cloutier, a major player in the field. To date, over fifteen trucks have been equipped by Alltech Group, with custom configurations based on vehicle size and type. Some trucks are fitted with two cameras, others with three or four, depending on operational needs.

Lubrication of Hydraulic Hammers: Two High-Performance Systems Available at Groupe Alltech

What If Lubrication Became a Performance Lever?

On the job site, every minute counts. And yet, something as simple as lubrication can make the difference between a high-performing tool… and costly downtime. At Groupe Alltech, lubrication isn’t just a detail. It’s about optimization, durability, and above all, solutions tailored to real-world conditions.

Two Approaches, One Goal: Protect Your Hydraulic Hammers

1. The Allfett ALL-10 Electric Pump

Designed for operators who want full control, this pump is installed on the excavator and feeds the hammer through a dedicated line. The result? Precise lubrication, managed from the cabin, and simplified maintenance. Ideal for those using multiple interchangeable tools.

For more information about the ALL-10 electric pump:

2. The Alltech A2 Hydraulic Pump

Autonomous, rugged, and mounted directly on the hammer, it delivers continuous lubrication without relying on the excavator’s system. It’s the perfect solution for extreme environments where reliability is non-negotiable.

Why Does It Matter?

A well-lubricated hammer means:

Less premature wear
Fewer unexpected breakdowns
Less downtime
And most importantly… more productivity

Available at Groupe Alltech and it's distributors

Both systems are available at Groupe Alltech, along with expert guidance to help you choose the best fit for your needs. Whether you're a contractor, operator, or fleet manager, we’ve got what you need to go further, longer.
