The spare trucks have come from all over the shop. Gosford, Ashfield, and a couple of others, but i'll have to remember them!!!!! LOL. And did the driver tell you his name?
Great work Mitch! Looks like "Big Bertha" is well suited for greens collections. This truck is certainly a nice old one and looks like the driver was a good driver. But I noticed that the engine doesn't rev as high when the arm is moved as some of the other ACCO's from around the same time. This is a MKIV body isn't it but you know how you said that it was a recycler body, was this the MKIV recycler body before the newer MKIV recycler body came out with the raised hopper floor?
I think it might actually be a MkIII, or some kind of later MkIII model... just a gut feeling. I thought the first MkIV models already had the raised hopper floor? Not totally sure... a good question!
WOW ! i believe you! but i thought they were bought by Pacific waste and then Pacific waste Was bought buy allied waste so now allied owns all three.(allied,Pacific and BFI)
Don't forget these are the Australian operations, we don't get AW over here. Now that you mention Pacific, we also had a company called Pacific Waste Management (PWM) a few years ago, which also got bought by SITA.
From what I remember, the arm is supposed to reach approx 1800mm on these ones, but after checking MJ's site, I read that their newer models can reach up to 2600mm! - atleast that is what it says.
Wow 2600mm that's about 8 and a half feet.... that's pretty good! Just for fun, I compared it to the Labrie (they claim to have the longest reach on the market) and the Labrie will reach 12ft or about 3658mm. Interesting info on those trucks, thanks for sharing!

I reckon Labrie has that record for longest reach, just seeing how their arm slide has two stages!
