The MetroPak is the McNeilus version of the Formula 4000 from Heil with some changes, new packer plate, new curved shell body. Retained the old classic tailgate with only some changes
Great video Christian, glad you were able to catch some footage of a unique republic truck like this compared to something common you’d see from them these days; furthermore, does this mean that curbside disposal is completely gone now? Is that ex Phoenix Volvo RR you filmed before completely toasted, or was it somehow miraculously the one deemed “still safe” to run? I’d be surprised to see the shape it was left in and compare it to this thing, because the hydraulics of this python seem to be a bit out of shape haha. Good stuff brother, hope all is well.
Killer video as always! glad this original still runs out in its hometown! Honestly sad to see so many small companies being bought out by corporate mega haulers. Wineburger being one of them. Nice work!
Truck sounds like it's got some issues, poor driver I'm sure he is ready to drive a new truck haha. Always love seeing the pythons that yard has over there, do you know how old this truck is? I hope you will film a new ZR from the yard, I'm curious to see how they run them over there. Always enjoy when you post.
The forks on this truck seem unusually long to me for an LA area truck. I cant decide if the bin at 4:00 is a 2yd or 3yd, but the forks on our trucks seem to match a 3yd perfectly, and that seems to be the standard for adjustable forks.
This is so cool! I life in Tucson and in Tucson Wm is short on truck so they brought this truck out for 3 weeks! It was really fun to film! If you would like to see what it is like today here is a link to it! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-W0P7uGWPIOI.html
Alright, I think I've seen it all. First of all, its homemade. That's bizarre. Second, its like how a bunch of companies from the 30's collected refuse. Where did the republic services bins come from?
They landed the contract for that neighborhood, so the people with different company carts forgot to put them out for removal when the company’s came to collect the carts
