F**ken hell you've videoed some mad trucks! It was cool enough watching the SEC, then we've got this old Volvo with that extremely awesome engine sound (btw is it a Cummins?) which was priceless to listen to =] I loved the roadside shot with the different dumping perspective, but those numerous pack cycles were fantastic, even seeing the blade stop through that small aperture in the body. Also thanks for the closer views of the lifter, makes sense how everything works and latches. Top job again!
@MitchellM15 Thanks! comments like yours are why I still do all this :D Not sure on the engine, though cummins is likely what it is. The roadside shot was a last second idea that turned out really well I think. I happened to see the opening in the body where the packer shortly after I began that clip and thought "how convenient is that?" There used to be 3 more cities south of here that used commercial side loaders, but they were taken over by..pains to say it but... republic. traditional FLs..
@3amrepmike3 Well whatever that engine is, it falls under my favourite sounds list :P Should we be surprised to see something different go when a big player takes over? I was surprised enough when I saw that WM Rotopress the other day, trying something different and "foreign"!
IMO i enjoyed the pakmor more. loved how the top would open as he brought up the dumpster. reminds me of the IFL PWS used to have. and sweet looking volvo grill
i wonder if they use this truck for residential or just commercial. garbagekid1 has one in action doing residential but on the beach :P
@TheTrashman97 thanks! yea, I saw the pakmor on the beach with the custom grippers from amrep too. Its pretty cool. I enjoy this one for the top door also, sure adds some additional excitement to an already awesome process (IMO)
Well this truck is pretty darn cool. Do the resi grippers close a tiny bit near the beginning of the cycle, or come out or something? Noticed that both with dumpster going up and it going down on the 2:04 stop. Either way I like how loose that whole piece is, just this giant chunk of metal that kind of sways around (like just after 3:27 lol)
Is this operated by a joystick? Wonder how this would get to be after running one for a while. Wouldn't seem so unusual as it is to us now...great vid!
@Trashman242 I think he had them open just a tiny bit so they were flopping around a little, or the joints are just worn out on this truck since its so old. They dont play any part in the dump cycle from what I saw. You know, I didnt see how it was controlled. but looking at the approaching shot in the last clip, it looks like he had his hand on a joystick in the center console. Personally, I think I wouldnt mind driving one of these. Sure as hell beats pushin dumpsters all day long!
yes the fun does go on! ;D thats pretty cool that you got both one w/o a hopper cover and one with kind of crazy to see the way the "grippers" lock on the way up when you see it from a distance it's like "how the heck do those things grab a dumpster?" loved the shots great camera work mike some people (aka the residents) just dont realize how lucky they are to see specific trucks like that amrep and this every week! awesome post!!!!
@garbagekid1 haha I think about the residents being lucky all the time when I find an awesome truck LOL oh, and the things that latch down on the dumpster to hold it in, those arent the grippers I'm talking about ;) thanks for the compliments :D
And you knock my sox of again! WOW! Will the CSL (commercial side loader) footage never end!? I hope not! This pak-mor is a nice truck! Again, fantastic work on this one!
@CurottoCanMaster82 the mythbusters proved its not possible to knock someones socks off.... NAH just kidding haha would you be happy if I said that I have more CSL footage?
@3amrepmike3 DARN! Oh well. Well, lets make a video response if another comes out and see what my response is......lol To make it easier, heck yeah! I would certainly love to see more of this! This method of trash collection has really grown on me over the last few months and since this method seems to be leaving, it makes it even more special!
holy fuck going after the commerical side loaders is see god this truck is beast can't beast damn that Volvo sounds nice this is going on the favs great work Mike
@AlliedWaste76 thats the whole reason we went here. All the videos I have of a commercial side loader are the same Co, same place and on the same day lol thanks
Excellent footage! lol those tiny dogs barking in that alley, its like what the heck are they going to do. These Pak-Mor CSLs collect down in Texas where i go to visit, except on a Peterbilt chassis. Hopefully next time i go there, it will be collection day. Pretty neat being about to see the packer on these machines.
@JaccobDalton yea it is pretty neat seeing everything working. Hope you can find the ones in Texas for sure, these would look sick on a Peterbilt! 320 or not a cabover? I laugh at dog logic too. haha
