Titusville Solid Waste (in action) Lodal ASL 8402 7-10-09
For pictures of this truck please click the following link to Flickr: www.flickr.com This is a City of Titusville, Florida, Department of Public Works, Solid Waste, Lodal automated side loader number 8402 . I must say, this driver was one of the friendliest I've ever met! He said that he really likes driving automated and let me film his truck collecting a few stops. He even let me film a shot of the hopper. During the hopper shot, he was trying to explain to me that the packer will not move unless the arm is in motion. I guess this is a safety feature on this truck to prevent a driver from getting injured if they need to pull a cart or other object from the hopper. UPDATE: I found the driver again today (7-31-09), and asked him about the panel at 3:39, I think he called it a "sweeper panel." On the Lodal, this panel is there to keep material in the body when the packer is all the way to the rear of the truck, so that nothing falls behind the blade (not sure if you know, but the Lodal packer is like a large brick). This panel swings back and forth swinging up when the packer hits it and the panel rides along the top of the packer as a shield to aid during dumping or extra packing. This is the first Lodal ASL I've ever seen in person. I took a few pictures of the driver so that he could get them from Flickr at his convenience. Big THANK YOU to the driver on this one! I hope you can find the video and pics! Statistics & Data: Honors for this video (4) #75 - Top Favorited (7 ...
