Republic Services: Heil DuraPack 7000

Here we have a shiny new Heil DuraPack 7000 body, riding atop a CNG powered Mack MRU, with Alan (FormerWMDriver) behind the wheel.

Alan's obviously just a natural garbo :P Very squeaky arm on this truck and still very new, or is that just a characteristic of Heil ASLs? haha Looking at this though, the job seems to easy up there - come to Warringah where there are cars parked everywhere and where residents sandwich the bins together :D

@MitchellM15 All the Formula 7000s sound like this, new and old.

For some reason I lost half the audio after 2:47, only hearing the rest of the video out of one speaker...maybe it's a problem on my end, but it works fine when I play part of the video before 2:47..??

Anyways nice work, thank you for doing this since Alan won't be allowed to film on the job. This way we can finally see him at work. And he's definitely a pro with that arm, F7000 BEATS PYTHON

@Trashman242 I have the audio problem too, these clips were being all wierd during editing. This video is actually what I managed to scrape together from 2 days worth of crappy footage. First the camera was acting up, then the tripod, but to answer everyone who asked, I do plan to go back and get more, enough for a nice 20 min long video. Alan is very good on these trucks, there's this really cool trick he does I didn't manage to get footage of, next time for sure.

Phenomenal video! I am looking forward to seeing more soon. Is there any way you could get one of the Labrie top selects next time?

[georgewuzheer]

@mtr82952 Thanks! I'll definitally try. If I don't get the Republic Services Top Selects, there are a few other cities on my filming list that still use them, and actually sort the recyclables.

Excellence driven :D

thumbs up/fav, and well worth the wait! Excellent job to you both

[RecologySMCKid]

@georgewuzheer Not all of them,I have a video of one that barely squeaks if it squeaks at all. And it's 15 years old! Maybe they were designed better back then.

nice republic trucks

Nice! Allan is awesome at driving, good to see him in action. It seems the new 7000s aren't as squeaky and run smoother then the last batch purchased (like this one) don't you think?

[GodOfSwat]

@Trashman242 But Python beats 7000 at 300 gal carts. I still like Republic's new 7000s better though

@georgewuzheer because the arm isn't getting greased. My truck was doing the same thing and when I was told it needed grease really bad guess what? I keep it well greased now and it is completely silent.

Thank you! Look forward to more videos!

Wow, that's fast.... this guy gets it done! 'War of the worlds' comes to sanitation!

Does this guy wait for you to get the next spot, or do you just race ahead and wait for him to show up?!
