Here we have one of the new Veolia DAF / Palfinger Hook Lifts picking up a shiny bright red Suez packer at Dnata Food Catering in Mascot.
Dnata provides food catering for the airlines at Sydney Airport resulting in producing large amounts of waste. Both packers on site needing to be emptied twice daily hence the fact that both packers on site are Hook Lift and Dino compatible. The Packer featured gets tipped off at Veolias Banksmeadow Facility but the packer behind it in the Quarantine area gets unloaded at Veolia Revesby Biosecurity Treatment Facility.
The truck featured is a 2021 DAF CF17 fitted with a Palfinger Hook Lift Frame. This truck is owned and operated by a Subcontractor for Veolia who has Mitch ( Aussie Garbo ) help out and cover some weekend runs for him. The truck is kept in immaculate condition inside and out with it being regularly cleaned and washed. The only flaw on this truck is a small crack in the Sun visor.
You may notice the bright red Suez packer being picked up. Since Veolia has taken over Suez it has been a large scale and time consuming operation to replace / put new signage onto every MGB, Front Lift and Hook Lift bin aswell as replacing all the signage on each truck and depot. I’ve noticed all of the former Suez trucks and yards have received the new Veolia Signage aswell as a lot of the bins too but with some bins still needing to be transitioned over.
In this video I wanted to capture the full experience of Hook Lift work from Backing upto the bin, raising the hook lift frame and placing the bolts in place followed by Placing the bin on the back then spinning the packer around the the tip, unloading, spinning the packer back around and placing the packer back in place at Dnata. I also wanted ( And Highly encouraged by the driver ) to get a few videos showing the locks operating which secure the bin to the frame while the truck is in transit. I also wanted to show in the last clip just how close the Job is to the airport being within 200m of massive Qantas planes.
Big thanks to Mitch for having me and allowing me to get some videos of the truck I hope He and everyone else watching enjoys the video.
I have a few more videos of this truck to post up at a later date aswell as a Dino servicing this same job.
