This truck is just awesome. I love that packer design! So quiet. I had to crank up the sound on my stereo just to hear the audio. :-P Though that might have been a video issue.

The Scorpion is the best ASL I've seen yet, and I've seen a lot of designs!
Very well done video too.
Hope you all do very well with this design and I look forward to seeing many of them on the streets soon...;)

use a mack or condor chassis they have very good turning

I totally agree, this would be a perfect fit for LA.

I think this would be a great truck for L.A. Citys streets and alleys. It would also handle all the trash I hope they look in to buying one.

Love that one! No large private hauler has had the opportunity to demonstrate this product. Smog has nothing to do with a Refuse Body--chassis portion of unitized system. This product meets height and weight requiments very well, and price point is very attractive. This product allows for more axle variations also, due to the hoist cylinder design--clean chassis rails. Weight foward design allows for even shorter CT for better turning. Ask SCORPION operators for accurate information...
Looks like a great hopper and lifter design. The lifter is similar to a Heil Rapid Rail and that design has proven to be very reliable. I also like the Rear Loader style packer, very good idea. This looks like a very efficiant and relable truck and I hope to see WM of Rio Rancho NM or even the City of Albuquerque NM buy a few.

That is very positive. Never pass up an opportunity to move foward! Keep in mind SCORPION is the body portion. The customer will specify the chassis. It will run, drive, turn etc just like their other units. With a SCORPION body mounted on it, their production will increase, and their CPM (cost per mile) will decrease. Our minimal Horsepower draw will increase their fuel economy tremendously!
