I wonder how often the garbage bins have to be replaced because they are being assaulted?

I wonder why it's called the crocodile?

[wastemanagementdude]

I rread somewhere that it is called the Crocodile because the lifter design came from Australia so they wanted to name it something that relates to Australia. This truck is not actually a Crocodile but it has the same lifter as one. I will try to get a video of one of the actual Crocodile trucks.

Doesn't the Crocodile also have a Pendulum Packer? Cause I saw a Crocodile on google and it has a Pendulum Packer. Glad America has this great arm, I think its way better than the new Labrie Automizer arm!!

No, the crocs got a ram like most others - think this particular model is a full-eject version. The only ASL with a pendulum that I know of in America is the Pendpac!

The Leach Crocodile also has a Pendulum Packer, but sadly no-longer made.

Oh OK! Probably originates with the old Raptor arm! Not much of a difference! Is it the Wittke Croc or LEACH Croc - I forgot!

[Trashman242]

both! haha

Albuquerque New Mexico. This video was taken near my house in a part of town called the South Valley.

I like the arm on the truck! Reminds me of the old Superior Pak Raptor Arm with the hydraulics - very much the same! Perfect Angle!

That arm is exactly like the arms that we have in Australia!! Nice vid!!
