Truck wheelie

As seen in my videos #146-147, my collegue and I were trying to find a good container for a wheelie last sunday.
Today, tuesday the luck was better - I've posted two other vids with these food waste containers (#94 and #96), but this is so far the best.
Notice that he does NOT lift the tag axle this time - no tricks to help it go up.

lol... Well in my country is called a tri or dual axle lol... plus our fleet does not use winchs, we use cable pull system backed by hydrological rams. Its a little confusing to explain how it works, but basicly the cable loops around the rails and as the hydro's extend the cable rises up the rails in turn bringing up the bin towards the cab.

Over here it's a "treakslet" (three-axled). The winch is powered by hydraulic oil by the way.

it happens to me all the time in my peterbuilt when I get a heavy 40 yard on...

[Griffencph]

I believe this is 22 m3, I think it's about 28-29 yards (?).

That's more than enough when it's Food waste. For a 40 yard of that, you'd need a semitrailer to go legal and a winch worth talking about :-)

Any particular reason for using roll offs with the old wire system, here in Sweden they pretty much got outdated already in the late eighties. Everybody uses the hook system here.

[Griffencph]

1) most of our containers are not designed for hook.

2) I know a few things I can easily so with a wire truck, but I can't figure out how to do it with a hook truck.

Low gates or basements don't allow a hook pointing up in transport position. There might not be room to point the hook backwards either.

Hooks usually tilt the containers more than wires, with more risk of the load to fall off.

I know there are many advantages to hooks, but not the most important ones yet.
