Pittwater Units (Paper Recycling)

Here is URM's big Pittwater side loader collecting the paper from some units in Mona Vale during the 08/09 Christmas holidays. Initially, I thought this was an early MJ recycle side loader, but upon close inspection it turns out that this truck has a DART body on the back, just with the dividing walls and inner tailgate removed. Knowing this I now get the idea that this truck was bought off a Sydney council where split bins were previously used. The chassis is an old International and it has got a nice, smooth sound to the engine. You should also see the true speed of the arm attached to the side of this truck, it bloody flies!

Hope you enjoy the footage, please rate and comment, thanks to the driver.

Body Make: MacDonald Johnston
Model: 29m MkIII SPORT : DART Body
Chassis: International Acco
Council: Pittwater Shire
Contractor: United Resource Management (URM)
Collection Type: Paper & Cardboard Recycling

Really glad the driver moved that cart at 1:25... would have been bad if he took that line down. Great catch!

Well good thing they fixed it, but I'm glad you got it on film when it was like this though haha--entertaining to watch! Hmm, I'd appreciate the pics if it's not too much trouble, would help me see the similarities I guess, or else maybe you could just mention what's unique about the body exterior on this/DART vs. newer MJ ASLs..? Thanks for the answers Shando/Mitch!

[MitchellM15]

lol That's one of the uniforms URM has available to wear on route, deceicing hey? hehe I'd prefer the fluoro shirt though.... suits the job =] Like Shando said, when I say the DART body is similar to this, I refer to the exterior design features - basically identical. If you want I can send you a pic of a DART to compare with this truck and you'll definitely see what I mean. Thanks for the comment and no probs about the questions :)

Yeh I loved that forceful smash upon raising! Guarantees nothing will get stuck :) It's caused because the arm's wobbly and contacts the top/side of the hopper entrace... then the lip of the bin gets stuck, which is why he extends+retracts to release. When I videoed it a month later it was all fixed up as you'll see in the bottles video when I upload it.

awesome video man, really like this truck. hope its retirement aint too soon aha. and yeah it does look like an old DART. guud video Mitch :)

[laserkeyboard]

i dunno bout the other questions because YT wont let me watch this video for some reason, but what Mitch means by identical to the old DART, is that the design (exterior) of the body and the exterior of the hopper area are identical to the old DART's :) if you get that lol.

[Trashman242]

Also, just wondering, was the driver by any chance wearing shirt/tie?? Almost looked like it lol!! Executive manager, drivers the truck for fun hahaha!

One other question (last one--sorry!), why do you say this would be identical to an old DART? Not sure I understand...

Now that I'm done...awesome units vid, certainly a fav with 20 stars :D
