i WANT to make ViDEos TO RECorD THe trasH TRUCK at MY House BUT i CANt i DONT KNow HOW to Make ViDEos AND STUFf

@@cwcspyninja2249 you don’t know how to type without using capitals either

@@MrHunt916 Facts

Northern Sweden, very cool!! Thanks for your insight :)

I agree, my company ordered 2 of these and we only do recycling pickup. It will be interesting...

Well let’s start by saying that recycling material is harder to pack then regular trash. The designer created a slant flow design on the blade to keep material on downwards slide. I have noticed that we have not seen a video in which the crusher panel is dropped and a multi cycle is ran. This design is based off of a front loader pick which naturally can hold more and pack better

@@jeremyking7117 I think the slant should be more pronounced so the material slides to tnt bottom of the hopper

Read my mind, that videos on queue for this Friday :)

@@medicalgarbage3575 YESSS!!! Thank you for taking the time to film!!

Thanks for your support! You're one of the OGs

😎

If there's a way to make it where crap doesn't get hung up on the blade it would be great that's the problem I had with a 31yd new way recycle would catch the blade and clog it all up

I'd agree they're good trucks for garbage, but I personally don't like them much for recycling :( packer design isn't sufficient to pack it in well

In my opinion I think the reason why your blade inside your truck bigots overstuffed of recyclables because people don't break down there cardboard and recyclables are too bulky

Actually I road in a McNeilus ZR garbage truck here in my county of Texas

Also the carts we have here in our county are 96-gallon carts here in our county Perry much it holds a lot of recyclables....

The ZRs run good on trash but mechanical maintenance on any McNeilus product is a pain

no, scorpion is (search "scorpion garbage truck" on YT)

Emil Karu Scorpion does have a great packer for an ASL Are they out of business already ?

@@MrHunt916 Yes DaDee went out of business a year ago but got bought by BTE which now holds the rights for the Scorpion and Mantis, building is done by G&H though.

Man I love your comments so much! Great base for dialogue! We do in fact have a 2017 that's starting to loose pressure; it's not able to pick up all of the yw totes anymore. That's not good, because then another truck has to go (sometimes far out) to get just a few totes. Also, I think the spec for new ZRs is only 500lbs lifting capacity, which is lower than a lot of competitors. All this to say I think there's room for improvement in that engineering. After seeing how other bodies pack recycling, I can say I'm thoroughly unimpressed with McNeilus' ability to do the same. The design relies too much on gravity to pull the refuse to the bottom of the hopper, and with light recycling, that just doesn't happen. So you either have to cycle the packer many times in hopes of dislodging the material, or you have to climb up there to smash it down. Noone wants to climb up there more than they have to, for both time and safety concerns. We just demo'ed a Currotto/Heil Half Pack in this subdivision that packed it without a problem. Much safer, MUCH more efficient. And yeah, unfortunately this video was started right at the beginning of the subdivision, and it was still already jamming :(

@@medicalgarbage3575 Wow thank you for the info. I also forgot to ask in my original comment if this new truck has the packer cycle twice feature? When the ZR first came out they had the packer cycle twice after each dump cycle. I wonder if they got rid of that feature since then.

This one only does it once :/

@@medicalgarbage3575 Interesting, in the demo video for the McNeilus ZR they said the ZR packs twice after each dump. Could be just an option for haulers to choose i guess. I heard that feature had mixed opinions too. Some haulers liked it and some didn't.

On our autoreach, it does it three times which can be hard when it's packing and you don't a can right on top

Compactor won't move when that top panel is down :/

Keep on waiting my friend, it's currently uploading! I believe I sweet it to publish next Thurs

Medical Garbage nice!!!

Just to clarify, it will be up on Thursday, correct?

@@GarbageSean According to Medical Garbage, I think so. And hope so

GarbageSean I have some videos you might like some very cool and interesting trucks! You should check it out.

Phheewwww 10 tons! That's pretty impressive. I've only ever gotten 5

Medical Garbage I think what helped me was the little big of garbage that was in the cans and the most people broke down the boxes.

Damn 10 tons on single stream. Impressive

Hey UPFan, I've got a vid of the same type of truck dumping yard waste at the end of my yard waste collection video :)

2020 Mack LR, CNG

You read my mind, that's on queue for this Friday :)

Medical Garbage great to hear!!

Dump cam

a joy stick in the cab and there is a camera in the hopper,most people just know that.

@@wnytrashtrucks beg to differ with you about most people know, I operated a FEL back in 1975 for a short period and the equipment available then was certainly not what you have now, ie, no backup or hopper camera, no sliding top door, no joystick etc., hence my reason for asking.

Yep the hopper camera (if the manufacturer put it in a good place) kind of looks into the hopper and into the inside of the can, when the can is in the dumping position. So if a cardboard box is jammed in there there's a good chance you'll see it; if it's low down in the can, this isn't the case. If your camera is broken, you just have to shake the can, hope everything comes out, and look at it as best you can (no pun intended) when it comes back down. In terms of how the arm works, what were you looking for? :) On these, there are two hydraulic-driven motors attached to a large plastic toothed wheel. They spin the wheel, which in turn climbs up the large black "candy cane" track. One of the motors has a brake on it to prevent the can from falling, in case of hydraulic failure

@@medicalgarbage3575 reference the pickup arm, do you operate it manually, joystick etc, or is it automatic when you pull up to a can. Also do you only use your mirrors to line up with the cans? Another question, how far can the CNG trucks go before needing to refuel and are they more prone to repairs than the diesel trucks of the past?

Full video coming your way!

This run was about 3 ton, and the truck wouldn't pack anymore

Is this a 30 Cubic yard truck?

Some of the trucks I’ve used at work for residential recycling is between 3 and 5 ton of recycle but to put 5 ton on you’re fighting it like crazy hard.

Got ya! Got some footage yesterday that I'll edit and out in the queue

It can't pack any more

That and there is a scale in the cab

Yeah, mostly when it stops packing. On recycling you rarely have to worry about weight restrictions, since it's so light

Medical Garbage With experience you generally start to get an idea for how heavy the truck is on recycling when it won’t pack anymore.

Ours take just over 13 (metric) tonnes (14.5 US tons), but we get about 7.5 tonnes (8.25 tons) on recycling.

😂😂😂😂😂 dang man my stomach dropped for a second

I'd probably be traumatized if I did, so fortunately no haha. Someone put a dirty toilet in their recycling once. That was pretty weird

@@medicalgarbage3575 at least you haven't found a body I've heard of them being found in dumpsters so I thought I would ask

the people in the dumpsters are mostly alcholics or homeless
