A video of 122 when she was filled up, just struggling to feed a metal chair and a sofa. There are heaps of pack cycles involved in this video, you'll see the blade doesn't close the whole way...
Great job! When my trucks use to get really full like that, we'd use the cart tipper to help push things into the hopper and when you raise the tipper, you can pin things in place so they don't slide back out of the hopper. Not sure how well that would work with the lifts you all have.
Hi Mitch!! Great vids as usual, see you had a 4 parter this time round. Thanks for putting them up. One thing I noticed was that these crews were bigger than what I usually see. Thanks again, Mitch and keep em' comin !!!!
@mikeyfromnj Thanks and I'll definitely keep them coming. We only have teams of 3 per truck (driver and two loaders), there was just an extra one here who came from one of the other trucks.
@FormerWMDriver The lifters we have here can be used for that exact same purpose you mentioned, just that we try and avoid doing it too often so something doesn't burst straight through the spill shield or weaken the joints on the lifter. Sometimes when I've done it, I could see the lift jolt a little when the bulkier items (like sofas) were pushed against it... not hard to know it isn't doing any good eh? Though it does make the job a lot easier hey?
nice video mitch. good to see the guy who usually wears the poorly cut up jumper is wearing something decent ;) haha. Wastemanagementsucks knows how to be nice to others doesnt he lol.
@Trashman242 Yeh they got it squashed in, don't know how long it took them - you can see this truck towards the end of the video with 046 in it; shows the hopper.
