Miami Automatic Side Loader Garbage Truck

Yes, thats right, my first ASL Video.

Actually its in Homestead, but its all pretty much the same now.

Missed this truck last month on our last visit. Got another chance to catch this one, only to forget my camera. Had to borrow one, thats why the video quality is not the same as my others.

I was hoping that Miami Dade still had the old Peterbilt conventional cab rearloaders they used to have. Looks like they've upgraded the fleet nicely tho.

Thanks for all the kind comments, stay safe - enjoy!

Wow thats pretty impressive! I have never seen anything like that before, over here in the UK they have a crew of 3, 4 or even 5 sometimes. They have to drag the wheelie bins to the back of the truck where there are normally 2 stations for lifting the bin, then they take the bin back to the drive of the house.

Out of interest if one of the bins was not close enough for the truck to reach would the driver get out and push it closer or would he just leave it there?

These grabers can telescope a good distance. If it couldnt reach most drivers would get out and push the bin closer. Just to maintain good relations with the client. If it was a constant problem, the driver may start leaving it to make his life a little easier. Same applies if the bin is too close to a car or something that can be damaged, the driver may leave it. Now a crew of 4 or 5 is Impressive! Most of our rearloaders are crews of 2 including the driver! Thanks for watching!

do u know if miami has rear loaders

[jeepman65]

When I lived there, thad some really old Peterbilt conventional cab rear loaders. 3 man crews. When I left last time, I saw an old peterbilt cab over on the highway. Looked like a leech body. Didnt get a good look, he was headed south, we were headed north.
