I'm absolutely speechless, there's no description... my jaw dropped when I realised I couldn't expand the description area on this page :S Be sure to give me the heads up when you do add an explanation for this video - absorbing the info is one of the best parts of your uploads! What an interesting little truck, kind of a peculiar looking machine with the old Renault cab, those narrow slanted ribs, the big tailgate and single steers and drive wheels - just a set of four like a car! Something that amused me was that you've got this somewhat medium size RL, yet the sweep blade is absolutely mini, it's a wonder the slide plate isn't half the size! Regardless it chewed through all that cardboard quite effortlessly for a tiny mechanism, enjoyed it swallow up those small hopper loads whole as much as watching the blade dig into the boxes when more material was built up. I spotted the times the sweep would open a touch during the compacting process, being overcome by all that density, but then occasionally it would bounce back into the fully closed position like at 0:52 - something I love about rear loaders when the sweep blade finishes off and pushes a load into the body once that against-the-hopper-wall pressure is relieved. Has got a real mean grumble for a little truck, some of the times that engine got going during packing was a bit of a shock, how about 2:37 as an example, really kicks in. 4:48 McDonald's is everywhere!!! I was going to query the packing cycle on this truck too, because I noticed the operator needs to stand at the controls during the whole cycle and could tell the 4 stages didn't flow uninterrupted, there was always that momentary delay so I ruled out an auto operation. Next thing you showed us a view of that 4 button set-up at 6:52 which confirmed my thoughts, also answered my question about that pencil thing one of the guys was using for the packer operation. I can see the typical euro control console with the big fat green button, has auto pack completely failed and they need to use manual control now? Also I spotted those two switches on the manual console at the bottom, what are they for? I see you've taken a real liking to those in-cab shots too, moving through the gears, clutch action, building speed, slowing down, just what you can see from inside the cab... that nice touch of variety for a video. That digger towards the end looked real strange compared to what I see, appeared so much more stretched out, heaps of window surface too. Ohhh what happened to the unloading clip?! Was it so fast that I missed it or was it not included? :P
Haha you'll have to forgive me, writer's block set in just as I was finishing up editing and hasn't let up since. Plus some extra hours at work. I figure a delayed proper description is better than a punctual half assed one. Can't leave my most prolific commenter hanging though so I'll do my best. :) The proportions on this thing are strange indeed. I'm used to trucks this size being much lower profile, mounted on chassis using the same cabs as our pickup trucks, this one looks like it was just a full sized 18 tonner shrunk in the wash. The way I look at it the Europeans like their stupid tiny sweep blades for whatever reason, (look at the Dennis product) this is just par for the course. The engine is actually a 6 cylinder! This company has a similar sized though newer Renault as a mini-hooklift with a four pot but this one sips less fuel. As a packer too! Of course without a description there's no way of knowing but this "route" or I guess "job" you could call it consists of a pair of workers taking out the mini Renault for an hour or two just to service these two McDonald's along a main long distance road into Krakow which just happens to pass right by the company shop. Not the most efficient use of labor as you can see but labor in Poland is cheap. With the fuel sipping Renault it all pencils out apparently. I Googled the French definitions for those labels for the two switches but came away confused. "Phare" has something to do with light, beacon, etc, but "travail" is labor. Not exactly opposites lol. The other switch says "rapid" which seems self explanatory, an engine speed up switch. Not sure why they're running the packer manually but I assume it's because the automatic functions have stopped working and aren't worth spending the money to fix. They were being used on other trucks in the fleet. The in-cab stuff is always worth the effort, especially with the manual transmission. Not exactly something I'm used to in a garbage truck. Oooooh the digger is a communist era Ursus tractor converted to backhoe. These things used to be everywhere in Poland. The company actually had a brand new digger on order but a delay in delivery meant this old dinousaur was still around when I came by to film. Again, labor is cheap so the backhoe and a pair of workers make up a "human MRF." I visited a few hooklift hauling operations with a similar setup. 2-4 guys, a single piece of machinery (bobcat, backhoe, whatever) and a concrete pad. A couple hrs or labor per container. The unloading clip? I botched it lol, was trying to stand on the dumped contents of a demolition waste bin and couldn't get good footing. This was all I could salvage.
I mean it is a Renualt. ;) As it was explained to me they're the cheapest of the second hand imports for just that reason. However the mechanicals are sound, and if anything serious does go wrong parts are cheap too. Glad you enjoyed it. How's the waste hauling situation in New Zealand? A local described the hauling market as "the wild west." I've long wanted to start a hauling business, doing it set in the prettiest country on Earth sounds like my idea of a good time. Plus isn't New Zealand really keen on foreign investment?
The Waste hauling is fierce competition. Council, Eco waste, Waste management. There are at least 3 rubbish trucks a week going through the same streets, on call inorganic waste, recycling, garden waste. Stupid IMO. waste of diesel and extra wear and tear on the roads.
Neat video. Cool to see such a small packer eating all those big boxes. I liked to see how fast that packer cycled. Seems super efficient. It's also nice to see how the packer sits lower in the hopper so you can continue to load the hopper while the packer is cycling. Was cool to see such a small body as well. Sounded pretty nice as well. Really liking all these videos from over seas. Keeps it entertaining for sure
Yeah I like a big hopper but get a small one moving at a quick enough pace and it can be just as efficient depending on what you're collecting and how it gets loaded into the hopper. That low packer is just like the New Way Diamondback that seems to hang down too low, but add a hopper lip and you get a standard 3 foot-ish high hopper sill you can load over continuously regardless of packer position. That's the sound of a little 6 cylinder motor puttering away, the company's fleet manager was very enthusiastic about how little fuel this truck uses.
georgewuzheer thx! I would expect to see underground containers there. About the body: If it's a variopress then it must be an old variopress I. I do know the II excist, because I was lucky enough to see one here in Rotterdam, but the container was very full. So hè took a few bags out, opened the bulky opening, and run the packer. The packer looked different and the newer ones at Irado, say variopress II.
Watching your video again. The engine sounds like a 4 cylinder. Running very smooth.
Im starting to like these tiny, simple rear ends. 😀
Nice to see your posting videos
Thanks, nice to be posting.
Awesome work George! Loved the driving clip and the unloading clip, that tractor looked weird af for some reason
That tractor really is a converted tractor, not a bespoke backhoe. Old as hell.

I thought you had a full time Garbage man job in Oregon! How did you get to film in on Poland?
This was a couple years ago. I'll get around to writing a video description this weekend with all the usual information.

Awesome video, as usual! :)
Thanks! This thing is almost small enough to be one of your models ;)
Haha yes. Well, I am increasing the scale, and you find smaller trucks. Tha gap is at least getting more narrow. ;-)
o_o I used to watch these when I was a kid- you still upload??!!😂😂😂
Yeah every now and again.

Very nice video. Happy to see that your'e back! If I'm right this truck is a faun variopress. Did they have underground containers there?
Thanks :) :) I think you are indeed right, no underground containers. Hell most of the 1100L containers are old communist era steel ones.
georgewuzheer thx! I would expect to see underground containers there. About the body: If it's a variopress then it must be an old variopress I.

@@bramvis2076 i think is hs farzherbau as i can see
googlemapper 2011 no it‘s a older Variopress. HS Fahrzeugbau only produces the Olypmus rear loader which has a completely different sweep blade.
