I'm impressed that not only the (probably new) truck looks this good - but all containers in that recycling yard. I worked at a truck bridge for a big German recycling company. The big "R". Their trucks are white, too - but they are battered, bruised - and dirty. The cheapest of the cheap to begin with - mostly Mercedes Actros aka "Klapper-tros" - rattle-tros. The containers are even more desolate - often dented to a point where it's almost impossible to close the doors after tipping. Needless to say, their drivers weren't to impressed with all those cost-cutting measures. Good to see working-class people are still apreciated in Sweden. Maybe that's the reason why so many German plumbers, nurses and many other skilled workers go there for a better life. Due to a shortage of those people more and more companies understand - there is no endless supply of them on "the free market" and finally treat them as well as the should have in the first place.
The truck(s) is one year old and has about 50 000km on the clock. The containers are all about 2 years old and are owned by the city. They rearranged the contract 2 years ago and then bought all the containers by them self. Pretty much everybody driving on this contract got "their own" truck and are skilled operators, therefore all containers are still in a good condition.
@@M.Lindholm "Pretty much everybody driving on this contract got "their own" truck and are skilled operators, therefore all containers are still in a good condition." That's the point. The company cares about their drivers - and the drivers take good care of the company's property. Win - win.
Hej, och tack så mycket att du skapade denna videon, jag pluggar transport just nu och tänker köra lastväxlare. En fråga; Kör man långa eller bara korta sträckor som lastväxlarförare.
Tja! Kul att du uppskattar filmerna! Det finns alla varianter. Vissa ligger ute hela veckor och kör kors och tvärs över hela landet, andra kör regionalt eller lokalt. Vanligast är nog lokal körning ändå.
Det beror på definitionen av "exakt", men man vill stå så rakt och plant som möjligt för att minimera risken att containern hoppar ur glidern och/eller välter. Står man för snett så landar inte heller containern rätt på bilen och kan skada bilen eller i värsta fall välta helt. Så ja, exakt rakt är att föredra 😀
Inte så länge man vet att man dragit fram glidern hela vägen. Vissa släp saknar i princip rullbana helt, vilket gör att man ställer ner och lyfter ur direkt ur glidern. Mina släp har små krokar på glidern som hakar fast i rullbanan, det gör att risken att skjuta iväg glidern bakom containern minskar.
@@M.Lindholm Yes, I understand why you do that. it shows experience. I had started with the car, then lifted off the front from the wagon. after that I had loaded up the wagon. you avoid dragging containers on the ground? reduce wear in the exchanger? it is interesting to compare differences in working methods.
Most often I'm lifting up the bin on the truck when shifting, but sometimes, when I'm in a hurry or when it's a really short distance, I drag them after the truck. Wear is a part of the work, sometimes it's more prioritized to be quick then gentle. But we also have to be as quiet as possible, so if we do it too often I guess we'll get complains 😁
@@witten1239 I do rev to about 1300rpm when lifting the container on to the truck. When putting it back down there's is a fast button wich makes revving unnecessary. If you rev the pump too much the oil will cavitate and it won't go any faster anyway.
I've liftet bins weighing about 20-21tons but since we don't get payed by tons I've never driven or tipped with it. But over 22tons and the bin is pretty much stuck to the ground...
@@matsv201 nope! Maximum legal weight is 15,6 tones. With the container included. But we have to lift the container up on the truck to know what they weigh 🙃
@@matsv201 yeah of course! On the trailers it's another story, but we don't use the trailers all the time since we mostly drive in the city area. On the yellow tipper-trailer we can load up to 24tons (container included), but there's no way we can shift that weight since we have to use the stick maximum to reach the container on the trailer (as you can se in this video m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FVuwjv064C4.html ) , wich makes the hook loose strength.
nice truck also moin from a German College I don't drift a hooklift but a truck capable of freezing your "you know what" off also also I'd darn well want a Scania as my daily workhorse, but alas I'm stuck with one of the following brands Mercedes Benz model Atego🙄 MAN model TGS / TGM (me thinks)😉 Iveco Eurocargo🤢🤮🤕
Thank you! One of the first trucks I had to work with was an Atego. Not the funniest or most exciting truck but it was really cheap on the diesel. just shift gear before the green field on the tacho and you´ll soon have the money to buy a scania ;)
@@M.Lindholm yeah its no frills gets the work done kinda deal🥸 won't happen anytime soon😭 I'm just a tiny gear in a big company (Nagel group)😉 but back when at my depot we had a Tractor I had the pleasure of driving one, but that one is gone now instead of a DAF from a hyper local Trucking business with over 600k on the clock. given the run distance this DAF is "below the bottom of da Barrel", looses air like there is no day after tomorrow when sitting over the weekend.🤢 also my experience on the Atego shifting is rather a mixed bag, some of the 6 at my depot do it reasonably ok and one you have to tip to get any sensible drive going, especially uphill. just be glad you haven't had to cram your a... in an Eurocargo with the day-cab, I'm about 170cm and I sometimes need a shoehorn to climb in. and the seat is of such poor quality that it is so far below the bottom of da barrel that it is at the bottom of the barrel at 180° round the globe. setting the seat proper for me, it still slams into the floorboard just going over tiny bit of "Bordstein", and that's the driving factor why I'll give a doc. Note the day after the next time I'm forced to run that truck.
This is s recycle station where the public can throw their waste away for free if it's to big or to much for the bins they got at home. The three I picked up in the video contained Wood, combustible waste and scrap metal. There are also containers for plastics, car tyres, gypsum, composed, pressure impregnated wood, electronics, batteries and more.
