Did he miss a bin at 0:22? These Hurstville trucks r as old as the old Cleanaway trucks that use to work in Knox. I have no vids of them but I do have photos.
my favorite bit is when the rubbish fell into the truck, truly amazing, long live the Raptor, with its mighty total weight holding capacity and great km's to the liter , never will they be another truck with its reputation for carting someone's trash to another destination, forever their while be a place in my heart for this great piece of machinery, close to the 8th wonder of the world
I sure don't understand how that sounded any bit like a Peterbilt but ok..Excellent post, very neat operation! How long have these been (their arms, rather) been operated by a hydraulic cylinder? In other words, are the newer models still or no?
This was their first type of grab lifter to be used on their ASLs, until the new lifter with rotary hydraulics came out in 2001. You can tell the obvious advantage with the new arm is that it's much simpler with none of those excess wires sticking out of the arm, and it doesn't take 3 individual cylinders just to raise/lower the arm. This old lifter isn't made anymore, becoming very hard to find...
Why did he skip that second bin at the beginning? Anyways loved the huge line of carts @ 4:00. Great job on the recycling. 5 stars, a fav, and feature.
You can betya they're old, starting to screw around now as well =] Yeh they'll be keeping these for the next 9 or so months... should last until then.
The truck sounds like an airliner Boeing 747.
