I drive one of these as a main route truck but on a Peterbuilt 320. However my arm works this fast at an idle so no revving needed. It can dump garbage in circles around the Auto Reach trucks the other drivers have.
Amazing footage!! 300s is one of my favorite collections, excellent job showcasing them in this video along with residential! Enjoyed the revving as well and of course the manual packing.
Fantastic footage! Your videos always come out so great. Glad you got more 7000 footage! These sure are violent when the arm comes down. Glad you were able to get some footage!
Fantastic video! Loved the high up angle showing the packer (I too have hopper footage of an older 7k for a future upload) Love the high revvs of the truck on 90 gallon carts as well. Some of the most entertaining 7000s on RUclips. Wont be the last time I watch this video, I'm sure :D
Thanks! Same here, the 300s are residential too. The revving was extra awesome as these trucks are equiped to work at idle. The second to last truck was packing manually because the computer thought the tailgate was open, and the driver had to do it to get the truck to work. Sucked for him as it slowed him down, but made for a great vid.
Awesome hopper shot George! I've never really seen a 7000's packer running. It seems that if the hopper was really full, that all kinds of trash would fall behind the packer. I actually filmed my first Python today, a light blue one on a Pete 320.
HeilEnvironmental You guys should start selling these arms again as a base model alternative to the Python. These are the toughest most reliable arms ever made. The Durapack body, 60/90 grabbers and joystick operation you have a perfect truck for small haulers and municipal fleets.
That second clip was awesome from up high, plus what a relief the packing cycle was seen at the end - would have been devastating to miss it; the cherry on top. I'm sure you planned that shot with the driver but :D I noticed three trucks very easily at the beginning... the first with signage, the second with the squeaky arm, then the revving driver up third, but I had to check the fleet numbers to identify the fourth more towards the end. These 7000 arms are pretty neat to watch, especially liked the pick-up and perfect replacement at 5:38, without the need to pull back the reach function. Sweet watching the big 300g's getting dumped, I get the impression they replace multiple bins for individual houses eh? Also what a difference going from the dull laneways to the streets with the bright green front lawns! I liked getting the little glimpse of the fat packer cylinders behind the cab and the PTO hanging off the front always catches my eye. Awesome production mate, straight to the favs ;)
MitchellM15 That's the best thing, totally unplanned. The driver was just insanely cool and knew what would look great on camera. 7000s are my favorite by a long shot. Not only neat to watch but fast, smooth, versatile, and practically indestructible. They have a very loyal following among choice fleets, but Heil is annoyingly pushing them to other, inferior products in its lineup. Yup the 300s serve apartments or groups of houses.
I guess that makes sense in regards to the packer. Something round though would defiantely roll behind the blade. The hopper on a Python seems deeper, but I love the band the packer makes when it starts. Did you see that video I put up of the Crocodile last week?
What a great job! As always the time just flew by! Great shots!

Great video! I absolutely love St Pete's fleet and their carts are second to none. It's nice that they're older and kinda can't lid-flip lol

Each ones takes the place of three or so regular bins, so that the truck has to cycle the arm 1/3 less. That way the route gets finished faster.

Like the shot angle from up above the truck!

HeilEnvironmental We still run an old square body 7000 C-Frame armed sideloader as a spare at my company.

Outstanding footage! Just love this truck!

nice!
You wouldn't happen to mean that beautiful Cal Disposal machine, would you? ;)
On the truck picking up smaller barrels, everytime the truck proceeds to the next stop it bounces. Why is that?
Big fat bins
0:52 there's nothing in that 300
