@Binboy97 I don't have anything of Mosman Veg unfortunately, I did try to get the action on video previously, but things didn't work out. I don't really have any plans to return to Mosman anytime in the near future, but I can tell you the truck is a JP5 / ACCO from 2005. However, I've videoed the Lane Cove green-waste which is basically the same as Mosman, only key difference is the engine under the cab.
Yeah!! One of those ASLs w/fold up doors that nobody knows the reason for!! Heeyyyy, I'm diggin' that startup shot from above and then all of a sudden the fricken bin goes under the truck!! How many times have you seen that happen before?? Did you get the greens there too or no? I gotta say this was a pretty enjoyable vid with all the weird 2 level streets and stuff (+ the LE-like chassis)...so this one gets a fav in addition 2 the normal 5 stars!!
lol Well in Mosman this LE concept actually fills its purpose... lots of getting in and out at this place! Yeh was a bit of a surprise when the bin rolled underneath, never seen that before, so was just as entertaining lol I would've gotten the greens, but the driver wasn't very comfortable with the videoing because they do a few sketchy things during the run lol I wasn't fussed though, nice guy and stuff + I should be getting the same stuff in Lane Cove. Thanks a million! =]
No prob, really like vids like this when the background is unique/different (5:50!).
Whoa, Aussie driver who isn't comfortable with the video?! That's a first...or so it seems. What 'sketchy' things do they do?? Makes one suspicious...
Nice one Mitch, I haven't seen an LE Chassis for a long time, they have to be a unique chassis. I noticed that the seating position is different to the old International ACCO LE's. The older LE ACCO's had the driver just about standing while in the Iveco's, the driver is more sitting down. Nice truck and it works and sounds quite nice. The cab I noticed is missing the sun guard, usually only FL's don't have that, do you know why?
Yeh they're very very rare these days... Willoughby and Ashfield are the only other councils I know of to have them, but Ashfield won't soon. I noticed on the older trucks that the seat is almost vertical! lol Imagine having to drive like that?! This driver has told me that even with his seat, when he goes down hills, he has to support himself with the windscreen lmao Yer the sunguard's just missing, these trucks get battered a lot... you'll see it's present in a clip of the bottles video.
Nice vid dude! Interesting to see URM trucks with way better artwork. These Low Entry Cabs look interesting and I found out the name of a company that does the Low Entry conversion on the Accos. Also, this truck looks weird because it's missing the external sunvisor on top of the cab. Anyways, looking forward to the bottles!
Thanks. Yeh it sucks seeing the exact same scheme on all their trucks with the exact same words (except the council names + logos)... to be honest, I think this is the only truck that actually has something interesting on it! haha I was thinking about whether or not Acco did the conversions themselves - what's the name of the company? lol Yer these trucks get pretty battered, only noticed the sun visor was missing when I took a picture of it...
... you'll see one clip in my bottles video (it's hard to miss; the sunshine stands out from all the rainy clips) that the sunvisor is actually still intact... wonder how it came off? Also from memory I thought you said you liked the 4x2 side loaders... got footage of one in action which will follow the bottles video.
Oh ok maybe I was thinking about someone else? Unfortunately the 4x2 has the standard chassis... URM only has 3 of the low-entries, all found in Mosman. Cheers for the company name, they must've been doing it for a while seeing the featured Acco.
Nice truck, those small bins can be alot of pain though. That claw was the same on our genV in holroyd before the claw would wobble to much. Im not a big fan of open doors. Do you know why they are open?
Yeh I wouldn't want to driver in a low-entry truck... would be too uncomfortable and the view around the truck is terrible when you're sitting down that low. They have these low-entries because a lot of the bins in Mosman are commonly obstructed (particularly by cars), so it just makes it easier + faster to get in and out of the truck.
Cheers. I don't see URM buying anymore new SLs as the current contracts don't end for a while + doubt they'll buy new trucks anyway with how cheap they are, and the five GenVs we have in Warringah will be the only ones! Though, I'm told North Sydney's contract is going for renewal, so if URM gets that again there will probably be new trucks. What I do know after speaking with my supervisors is that URM's going to be buying some new Maxipaks for their C&I work =]
Have you got a video of The Mosman Veg if you do could you upload it on Sunday if you don't have a video of it could you get one?

LOL the bin rolls under the truck. I remember posting a video where a driver knocks down a bin and it landed where the tire would probably hit it.
Great video overall. I cant believe I missed it. I'm kind of behind on my Subscriptions. 5 stars and a fav.

Hmm... Interesting. Probably just lose bolts. Anyway, I actually prefer the 6x4 trucks, but the 4x2 should be interesting. Is it also Low Entry?
Aussierefuse 2 years ago
The company that does the Low Entry conversion is called PJ Green Agricultural Engineering.
