Burwood Garbage

[TheBrodra]

Nice truck. I like the colors on it. Are you going to take footage of yourself on your new job?

[MitchellM15]

@TheBrodra Yes for sure, got a couple of mates on here who'll help with that too :)

[Sean12325]

Nice truck, but wonder if there was anything stuck in the first bin. I reckon the drivers new at the job because hes very slow with the claw and driving

[trashy0240]

Love the sound of this one. Great find !

You know how that the MJ GenV Rotagrab arm is a lot lighter and therfore faster than previous rotagrab arms. Would it be made out of Aluminium because it isn't powder coated like the older rotagrabs? But I assume that the previous rotagrabs were made out of a powder coated steel by the look of them.

[MitchellM15]

Mmm... I'm not totally sure to be honest. I thought they would've used some kind of steel again or some alloy... dunno about aluminium, they'd need something stronger wouldn't they?

[macdonaldjohnstonfan]

Yeah, I was thinking like an alloy, but I'm not sure either. But with the arm not painted or powder coated it just seems like it would be an aluminium alloy because it doesn't rust. But yeah, they would need something stronger than just aluminium.

[macdonaldjohnstonfan]

@MitchellM15 Yeah Aluminium isn't strong enough as you said. It has to be a composite alloy (Blend of different metals). So it must have aluminium in it and probably titaneum. Because I am just wondering because the new Rotagrab is left unpainted, however it would still be treated for weather. But the new alloy must allow it to not be powder coated. When you mix Aluminium with another metal like titaneum it dramatically increases in strength.

Very new looking truck, the arm practically looks stainless steel or something LOL! Also the cab makes it obvious...What year would you saw this truck is? 5 stars!

[MitchellM15]

Would definitely be an 08 model.

[macdonaldjohnstonfan]

Nice one Mitch, looks like a very new truck, good driver too, and love the sound of it!

[dazza99687]

maybe i should have flashing lights on my lifter, maybe that will stop dick heads walking under a raised bin and i wont bring it down on his head.

[MitchellM15]

haha Lately I've been hearing about idiots walking under the lifter - how thick can someone get? Are you back with SMS now?

[amrepmike33]

man this is a nice truck!

ive seen in many ausie vids that if they don reach all the way around the bin it doesnt grab it right... thats one nice thing about the carts and trucks here. the carts are typically rounded and the grabbers on many trucks have rolers at the tip so if it doesnt fully wrap around the cart it slides foreward into the grippers. do anny trucks down there have the rollers? i dont think it would help much anyway cuz all the square bins lol

anyway... great vid

[MitchellM15]

Ahh so that's the purpose of those rollers! Thought they were for decoration, jks :D Don't know of any ASL down here with rollers... but like you said, wouldn't help much anyway.

[macdonaldjohnstonfan]

The grabbers in Australia open and close a different way the the American grabbers. In general the Australian grabbers are more complex. But the MacDonald Johnston grabbers are the more complex ones and mould and wrap around the bin where as the Superior Pak and Compaction Systems grabbers are more like the American grabbers, but a still a lot different. But rollers I just can't see the how much the would help over here.

[amrepmike33]

yea most trucks here have a solid grabber, some have the double jointed grabbers that kinda fold up when stowed away, all the starr trucks have the folding grabbers, yea the rollers would be no help on square bins but here we have almost all round carts so it help grab them

[Aussiegarbo13]

Awesome! wow was that day like afew days old or something? not a scape of dirty on it :D also was there another guy in there with the driver? Great Work!

[MitchellM15]

Yer probably when I shot it, shouldn't have been anymore than a month old? Think that was the driver's son or grandson with him...

[Aussiegarbo13]

ohh ok, wish a family member of mine was a garbage collector, id go with him everyday :D

[chillin626]

nice! is this the area where everyone puts their carts on just one side of the street? really like the line of carts. 5 stars

[MitchellM15]

Nup, this was from an apartment.

[tharealsteven]

Got the ol Nylex bins XD, good vid

[trashy0240]

How many bins can these MJ side loaders get in one load ??

[MitchellM15]

With 240L's could be between 300 and 400, with 120L's could be between 700 and 800.

[aussiegarbo79]

wow very cool footage
