E-Z Pack Goliath Rear Loader

A video of an E-Z Pack Goliath rear loader collecting along with 4 or 5 satellite trucks. Most homes here have walk up service.

Sorry probably dumb question, but what is walk up service?

[georgewuzheer]

@funnyent Not dumb at all. :) Walk up service is when instead of bringing their cans to the curb, residents leave them at the side of the house. The collectors then either carry the cans to the truck, use satellite trucks like the ones shown here, use large barrel looking container on their backs, or a wheelbarrow/wagon. My City of Coral Gables video shows the wagon method.

notice at around 1:20 how if the hopper was any fuller the sweep would have pushed all of the trash on the ground. There is a reason EZ Pack is the ONLY mfg. who still uses a free floating blade. And with a load edge 3" higher than a McNeilus or Heil you would be wore our on routes with heavy items/extras. I like how they also don't have L.E.D.'s on this unit as it's only been standard equip with good mfg. for 5-6 years now...

@clowntownify The hopper is actually much deeper than it looks, I thought this was a poor design too at first glance. That part at around 1:20 was a huge pile, at least 4 cy. yds. worth, and any other truck would have trouble packing it all in one cycle. The swing blade design allows for a lot less wear parts, and a smoother packing cycle. And I'm pretty sure LEDs are still not standard on most bodies, all the smaller local haulers' new trucks still have incandescents.

So they have how many sat trucks? 5 for one route?

[georgewuzheer]

Yeah I think it was five.

this is the stupidest way of collecting solid waste.... i have ever seen.. very unefficent

[Trashman242]

Awesome work, very cool system with all the satellite trucks which I assume are owned by the city, as is the truck? It's also neat how the tipper bodies are controlled by the guy operating the RL.

What's that large black box on the side of the tailgate of the EZ Pack that you can kind of see around 4:50? Thank you for the post.
