OMG this is S69BDU the company i work for (smurfit recycling) bought this in 2003 and run it until 2009 when the engine gave in, it now is in our mechanics yard still being cannibalised for spares even though there have been signs of it finally being repaired for resale, most likely export as another of ours (K978AFC) was recently exported to nigeria

@joecb1000 Thanks for the update on this truck. We rarely ever know what happens to these after the video was shot.

@joecb1000 i think its because of the age ive sean a much newer Norba before which was a RL-300 body from perrys recycling doing cardboard .

[joecb1000]

@ClassicRefuseTrucks Yeah no problems :) seeing how much it was struggling here its not suprising it really wasnt good at all at packing cardboard and paper only
