Hello billy, great video...what is the operating height on that 32t hook loader. I have a job for a 40ft waste cintainer going into a basement with 4.5m clearance attaching to a static compactor. Could we hook and drag safely on flat ground about 30m until outside before lifting.

Great video and quite educational to, the trucks and the type of job you do aswell. i really enjoy the 8 wheeler skip truck videos and i hope you keep making these. I prefer the skip truck videos over the bin lorry ones. I really enjoy the mixture of view points ,including seeing the full lorry in action, with camera on ground. Good idea !!!, and a nice fine balance of different view points. I am very interested in the big skip trucks and i look forward to more. I still watch the bin lorry ones to, but i prefer the skip trucks. They look cooler !!😀😀👍👍

Another great video!!!, i like the big hook arm trucks Ro Ro ,i prefer watching these. Looked really tight in that park. Good camera views with the go pro ,presumably on your head band. Thats given me an idea to try that technique out for some of my videos , when i get round to saving money up to buying a go pro camera. I look forward to more of the 8 wheeler ro ro truck videos. I Enjoy seeing it from your perspective, with the head mount camera views. Nice mixture of outside shots and in cab views, and driving views. I learn stuff about the trucks, and your job , from your videos to .Great videos keep them coming!!😀👍

That lady with the smelly bins is taking the piss. Theyre bins. This is why councils have no money. You should of left them and told her to wash em out like everyone else or pay the local wheelie bin guy £2.50 to clean em. Shes wasted the councils time ringing up to moan, a lorry and a binman to come throw them away then presumably a man with a van spending his morning delivering her two more. 100% rediculous.

Mate if you say it’s stupid, if your council ends up getting the latest 23 plate models then you’ll see a huge balls up they’ve made with the new Dennis trucks. Mine has a sensor in the seat so if you leave the seat to stick your head out the passenger window to talk to the loader then return and you put your foot on the brake it cuts out as you’ve forgotten ti touch the immobiliser button with your watch like device on your wrist and then you have to reset the system, you can’t put the bins on until it’s in neutral the loaders know when it’s in neutral as they hear a little hish noise caused by the handbrake engaging. Then if you need to drive up the road then manoeuvre in to the road to position yourself in the road to reverse off the main road into a cul de sac it puts the auto handbrake on as you try to reverse causing motorists to get angry with you when it’s the trucks new safety feature also you can’t go from drive to reverse because it goes into limp home mode you have to go drive then neutral then reverse. 3 times now on my latest 23 plate I’ve taken the key out in the yard to refill and it’s still running.

@@billythebintruckdriver3952 our’s are the same but we are pulling the plate up and switching off the key once the weight symbol pops up, it will keep compacting if you do it to get more weight on. The most I’ve had on my was showing on the body screen was 25100 doing all I said if I didn’t play with it would be getting around 8 Ton. The scales even tho it says 25100 ours says 25980 so 20kg to play with and I’m always making sure inside the body is clean as well as scrapping over the rear blade where it gathers crap.
