English term or phrase: squeeze truck

I'm having trouble with the term "squeeze trucks" in the following sentence: "Tires and batteries from trucks, "squeeze trucks", and cars are recycled"
It's from a document explaining the efforts of a company towards protecting the environment.
My guess is that it is a "camioneta" (Argentina) or "troca" (Mexico).
I'd really appreciate any help. Thanks in advance!!!

O tal vez mejor, de acuerdo con la observación del colega Gebauer, "encogibles" sería una traducción más precisa.
