MACK HEAVY DUTY TRUCK with CRANE 

OVERVIEW :

A grapple truck is a truck that has a grapple loader mounted to its frame which is used for loading and sometimes hauling bulky waste. Grapple trucks are commonly used by municipal sanitation or public works departments, and by waste collection companies. Grapple trucks can also sometimes be used in road construction and repair. There are six types of bulky waste collection system in which grapple trucks are used: loader and body systems, rear steer system, rolloff systems, rear mounted loader and haul truck systems, rear mounted loader and trailer systems, and transfer systems.

Grapple trucks are also referred to as knucklebooms.   Most require only one operator, and are thus more cost-efficient than other trucks which require three or more people to load bulky waste.

GRAPPLE SYSTEM

A grapple loader is defined by ANSI Z245.1 as:

“a hydro-mechanical device able to rotate on an axis with a grapple or bucket attached at the end of the boom, which is intended for the collection of waste that due to size and/or weight is impractical to containerize.”

Loader and body system

A grapple truck can sometimes be configured to include a dump body. A single operator loads, hauls, and dumps the load.

Rear steer system

With this system, a grapple loader is mounted on the rear of a short frame chassis with an operator's cab mounted between loader and chassis cab. The loader is operated from this cab, and all driving controls are also routed to the operator's cab enabling the "rear steer" unit to drive backwards along the route and load into separate haul trucks.

Roll off system

A grapple loader is mounted behind a truck cab. A cable roll off is mounted behind the grapple. The grapple loads in to roll off boxes. When the box is full it is dropped at a staging area and an empty box is rolled on. Boxes are transported between staging area and landfill by a shuttle truck.

Rear loader and truck system

A grapple loader is mounted on the rear of a short frame chassis. The grapple truck loads into separate haul trucks which travel back and forth between loading unit and landfill.

Rear loader and trailer system

The grapple loader is mounted on rear of a short frame chassis, with a trailer hauled behind. The trailer is loaded, then when it is full it is exchanged for an empty one. An additional truck is used to shuttle trailers between the landfill and loading vehicle.

VERY HARD TO FIND ITEM 

 We do combine shipping on multiple purchases.  If you do a Buy It Now the transaction requires immediate payment for each item separately. 

What you need to do is put it in the shopping cart and then when you go to checkout it will recalculate the shipping and combine the items for you. 

If you pay first I am unable to make any adjustment because ebay has then taken its fees on the shipping as well.  If you have a concern message me and I can work something out for you.
