Got a nice surprise on one of my holidays at Nelson Bay when this truck pulled up down the road and swung into a driveway. I ran down as fast as I could and got there just as the forks entered the pockets of the first 1.5m.

Yer the chassis is, we're referring to FL as the abbreviation of "Front Loader"

Great video. That body looks so long compared to north american trucks. Mitchellm15 any idea on what kinda weight they can pack on there?

[MitchellM15]

Well I remember there's been times where one FL's taken a little under 20t when it was full (and these are kg). Basically this body and packer can take anything until it's full... very strong and powerful, doesn't give up!

ok, I did some research and found out they are actually front wheel drive only. That seems extremely odd for a large truck. Interesting
