Garbage Trucks of Spain: Valencia RH Commercial ASL

The big video of the Commercial ASL's that are used in Valencia. You'll get close ups of the mechanism employed by the arm, the hopper and good sound of this Iveco. This driver was super cool and very friendly after we broke down some language barriers (I learned more Spanish lol).

Those 3200 litre bins look massive. I have hidden inside 1100 litre bin, 360 litre bin and 240 litre bin, and I cannot fit completely inside a 140 litre bin. Great that you got to see the packing mechanism. Nice to see it is a ram, not an auger, so if I get picked up, I don't get sliced too badly ! LOL ! (I know where I belong.)

I have discovered that if you have a penchant for trucks and machinery, and watched the garbage truck with passion as a kid... it never goes away as you age. ;-)

@@shadofax96 yeah, i mean, it´s so awesome to see lifting up the bins , void them all over again. it is so satisfaying

This type of ASL differs so much from those used here in Germany. While we use typical garbage bins around 120 -240 liters (30 - 60 Gallons) and in an extreme case the big 1300 Liters metal containers for our ASL collection, those used in Italy and Spain have a volume of 2400 - 3200 Liters. And these ASL trucks seem to operate rather reliable, much different from our ASL (Maybe German over-engineering again?). The 4-axle chassis of this truck here is not completely uncommon, but still a rare sight. Cool you caught it in a video. Same for the LH ASL used in oneqay streets, have never seen one before.

[@shadofax96]

I had a BMW motorcycle once, and I couldn't believe how over engineered the German motorcycles were vs. the Italian ones I've had. Smart, but unnecessary most of the time. lol

Outstanding sir!

[@savlover4837]

thats the beautifulls trucks of my city i have not too great videos of these trucks working

[@shadofax96]

I certainly enjoyed watching them! The driver was very nice and he let me get quite a bit of video of the truck. Valencia was a pleasant city too!

[@savlover4837]

@@shadofax96 you have visited it on the fallas festival?

[@recycleman975]

my council has a truck like that but it's rear loader

[@georgewuzheer]

Very cool Bill. The in cab shots really made this vid, what a cool driver to hook you up like that. So it looks like the lift cycle is pretty much automated. How much control input did the driver need to use to actually hook up a container? Like at 6:18 where it takes a couple tries to connect the container side pins to the lift, how much of that it from the driver's input vs computer controlled? Also is that the top of a manual trans shifter to the right of the joystick?

[@shadofax96]

I do not believe it was a manual transmission. The sound of the truck starting and stopping did not strike me as a manual w/ a manual clutch. I thought the grippers were manually controlled, but I later started thinking that it was computer controlled. I suspect the closing of it is manually controlled, and the opening/retracting is computer controlled.

[@GarbageSean]

Bill, did you get my comment I posted a while back on this truck? Let me know.

[@GarbageSean]

Great video Bill! This here is an interesting truck! But I like it a lot! The sound of the engine is unusual! Plus that loud whine at takeoff, like at 3:23 - sounds pretty cool in my opinion! Do you know what engine is in this truck? What year is it? Do you think it has an Allison automatic or another type of automatic transmission?

[@shadofax96]

+GarbageSean I actually do not know what motor/trans it has. Nobody around here spoke English, and I could barely even explain what I was doing there in the first place let alone a conversation about engines and transmissions. ;-)

[@brianlamadeleine990]

It's a Iveco EuroTech CNG.
