Thrash N Trash Productions | Waste Management Labrie Cool Hand Split Body Garbage Truck @TrashMonkey22 | Uploaded December 2013 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
This here is a rather unusual specimen to see from Waste Management - a Labrie Cool Hand side loader, split body none-the-less, mounted atop a Peterbilt 320 chassis. Despite the Cool Hand being a generally poor ASL arm design - the truck must leave a minimum of 42 inches between itself and the containers, making it impossible to use in alleys and on narrow streets, and causing it be just a general traffic hazard/inconvenience; and on top of that, the arm utilizes a plethora of small, overly complicated moving parts - I found it quite entertaining to watch. On top of that, this particular unit seems to have been pretty well maintained over the course of its life. Here on this particular day, this truck was collecting garbage on the smaller side of the body, and yard debris on the larger side of the body, in the mid-sized town of Newberg, OR.
A huge thank you to the driver for allowing Mike and I to film such a unique and unusual truck, and making this video possible! And of course, thanks to all of you for watching!
