Heil Rapid Rail 2638 Flipping Lids!! Part 1 (Wed Route)

[DisposalAmreps]

1:08 rapid rail in the backround!

[Trashman242]

Um, ewww. I always thought these had a sort of high pitch, but seeing that recycle truck, that one's sound was just annoying!! No wonder the driver isn't friendly. Why'd he skip bins on that first shot? To be honest, I didn't see much of a difference in the sounds before, but now it's glaring obvious haha. They each have that whining sort of higher tone, but the 2638 has it with a deeper pitch in the background, I'm sure it's better watching in person. Thanks for the footage!!! Another fav

@Trashman242 Yea the older ones are definatly more fun to watch and nice to hear. They will all be gone soon though. 2011 there getting new trucks. Not sure if there getting rid of them in the beginning or end of 2011 however.

Rapid Rails do tend to destroy most 90-ish gallon carts. Wonder if 300 grippers would work.

[3amrepmike3]

@RainbowDisposal 300 gallon grippers are even more brutal on 90 gals ironically. Watch Jason6689s old rapid rail videos from long ago. It punches holes right through his rehrig. (shocking i kno) NAAAT! but they are very mean grippers lol. The 300 gal grippers pinch the 60 gal ssi in Whittier. I cant imagine what they would do to 90 gals... They s there ALL Roto and RMI. Consolidated buys 90 Roto for that because they know injection of any kind will be limited in their lifespan. Even the ssi.

@lahluv thanks!

[lahluv]

@3amrepmike3 your welcome

[KennysTrucks]

Awesome! Glad you found him! You were right, RR's do destroy cans! 

[3amrepmike3]

@KennysTrucks lol yup thats why they should have stayed with Roto. 27 years old and 90% are still strong!

[KennysTrucks]

@3amrepmike3 Haha, yup, just like Turn-Key's, except they went out of business.

Nice video!, just a bummer how some of the carts featured in this video have lid flip stoppers. 

[3amrepmike3]

@tharealsteven I LOVE lid stops. They have had them in my city since I was a child and my area is one of very few in california with lid stops so its pretty cool. The lid stops making the lids flip back shut is what brings back so many memories from when I was a kid. They used to do that every single week.

[JaccobDalton]

[JaccobDalton]

[3amrepmike3]

@staintedcards NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!NOOOONOO­NONNNO!O@@N!N!ON1ON1ON!N!NOOOO­OOOOOOO! can you tell im not looking forward to that? That means no more single axle rapid rails and bridgport rangers and no more good carts! Injection molded shit! fuck, this sucks. I really wanted to see there trucks in person before this kinda thing happened.....

[staintedcards]

@3amrepmike3 LOL they had a big city meeting and folks werent very happy im thinking its gonna come down too burrtec and WM yeah even upland they got shitty trucks mostly all autoreach for trash and some old ass curratto trucks they still use those big ass WM green bins for green waste guess WM didnt want em back you should go and jack one for your collection lol

[3amrepmike3]

@staintedcards lol if clairmont get different carts rolled out ill be really sad. I will go "borrow" a bunch from there that I have wanted for many years.

[ASLman237]

Great vid like and fav

[3amrepmike3]

@ASLman237 thanks

[legodude24652]

awesome video! not as many lid flips as the Tues. route, though!

[3amrepmike3]

@legodude24652 yea he tries not to flip them thats why. The drivers are asked not to flip them I was told but when they do flip them they dont get into trouble I dont believe.
