Refuse collection equipment runs on tight schedules and repeated cycles. Hydraulic, electrical, structural, and body-related problems can take a truck out of service and disrupt an entire route.
Municipal Equipment, Inc. repairs refuse collection bodies and dump bodies throughout Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana, and Ohio. Our technicians work on multiple body configurations and equipment brands, including units that were not purchased from MEI.

Service for All Refuse Body Configurations
Different refuse bodies use different loading systems, hydraulic circuits, controls, and safety components. MEI technicians have experience servicing a wide range of refuse collection equipment, including:
- Front loaders
- Rear loaders
- Side loaders
- Automated and semi-automated collection bodies
- Residential and commercial refuse trucks
- Dump bodies and related hydraulic equipment
Our technicians evaluate the full system instead of replacing parts based on symptoms alone. This helps identify the actual cause of the problem and reduces the risk of repeated failures.
Refuse Body Repairs
Common repair needs include hydraulic leaks, slow or inconsistent operation, damaged cylinders, electrical faults, worn pivot points, body damage, and control system problems.
MEI service capabilities include:
- Hydraulic system troubleshooting

- Electrical and control system diagnosis
- Packing blade and ejector system repair

Mobile Service Across Four States
MEI currently operates 16 mobile service trucks, with two more being added. Mobile technicians can perform many inspections, hydraulic repairs, electrical repairs, and maintenance services at your location.
Field service can reduce towing and transportation needs. It can also help return a truck to its route faster when the repair does not require full shop equipment.
For larger repairs, MEI service facilities provide the space, lifting equipment, welding capabilities, and tools needed to complete the work properly.
Parts in Stock for Common Repairs
MEI maintains a large inventory of refuse collection equipment replacement parts. That inventory covers many common hydraulic, electrical, mechanical, and body-related repairs.
When the required parts are in stock, technicians can often complete repairs without waiting for another shipment. This helps limit downtime and keeps the repair process moving.
Weekend On-Call Support
Refuse collection schedules do not stop when the workweek ends. MEI offers weekend on-call support for service scheduling and emergency situations.
Our team can review the equipment problem, determine the best service option, and coordinate the next step based on technician and parts availability.
Extend the Life of Your Refuse Equipment
Timely repairs and regular inspections can extend the working life of a refuse collection body. Worn pins, leaking hoses, damaged wiring, loose mounts, and small structural cracks can lead to larger repairs when they are not addressed early.
MEI technicians can identify wear, recommend repairs, and help you plan maintenance before a problem takes the truck out of service.
When Replacement Makes More Sense
There is a point when repair costs, structural condition, age, and parts availability make replacement the better decision.
MEI can help evaluate the condition of your equipment and provide repair recommendations. When the body or truck has reached the end of its useful life, our sales team can also help you find new equipment that fits your operation and budget.
