Heil Formula 5000 Rear Loader: NASA Services

- After spending all morning filming the City of Beverly Hills Rapid Rail and some Crown trucks I accidentally wandered just southwest of Beverly Hills into LA. Almost immediately I came across this stunning older Formula 5000 on a Pete 310 collecting multifamily recycling. These are replacing/have replaced the FLs with carry cans NASA used before. Right away you can tell these trucks are better suited to the task with much less spillage and a packer cycle quicker than a front loader's dump cycle.
My favorite part of this truck would have to be the way it screams during packing. They have the revs turned all the way up for our viewing pleasure... and quick cycle times. The tippers work pretty well, they look like they were transplanted from the front load carry cans. Like the rest of NASA's fleet this truck is in amazing condition. Thanks to the really chill crew for letting me film. Filmed on July 24, 2012.
Great job George. It's always nice to see a Heil rear loader in action.
Awsome truck and sorry if I’m a million years late wasn’t signed in to CZcams
Thanks. And yes, will be posted a bit later on though
this truck appears to be a refurbished unit (Heil Formula 5000) bed. This is the same exact sounds the trucks make with the Heil bed when I followed them as a kid on my bicycle. These hopper sounds bring back a lot of memories. The garbage men used to let me ride in the hopper with my bicycle when they were driving across town. This probably would get them all fired these days lol.

Imagine if they turned on the packer with you in it
@@LiftRider24 That would be fun lol
Great job! Very professional!
lol no it was supposed to be public, but I left youtube uploader alone for a couple hours and it deleted the description and tags and changed the title back to the file name.
This was filmed on July 24, my birthday :D Nice video by the way.
Yeah he is. I think the truck was somewhere between 1/2 to 3/4 full while I was filming.
A bit of Crown, UPW, and Commercial Waste Services
Good video
i haul trash and i have found a long time ago that if you flip the lid open on the trash can or cart the trash dumps out a lot better

lol yea thanks for the heads up
oh its done that too..... uggh youtube gets annoying
Very nice job. Very interesting sounding truck. Sounds nothing like the Heil rear loaders here. Any more Waste Pro video?
Always thought these Heil's were pretty cool, fast packing cycle. Now what's with the one dude over operating the packer and the guy in the hat letting it do it's thing? The one guy feathers the controls and plays with the packer while the hat guy just let's it open all the way and come down? Plus these big heavy carts and tippers seem to make the collection slower. Crews in my city do have tippers but mainly dump by hand and clear my street in no time.
This seems to be a thing with RL recycle crews, one will feather the controls, the other just lets them run uninterrupted. He feathers because on occasion recyclables spill back into the hopper if the blade is opened too fast, sometimes spilling onto the street. Some packers are worse with this than others. The carts are heavy because California has container deposit, so bottles and cans that lighten up the recycling are usually returned by residents or scavengers.
I thought the steady whirring sound at idle was loud enough, then I got a listen to the revs during packing!!! The engine lets rip and screams like there's no tomorrow :O Found it interesting that both tippers were controlled via the single lever too, usually they're operated individually right? Noticed they didn't lift/lower in sync either, they were way out of time at some points, also looked pretty stupid when one was doing a ghost operation without a bin haha Cool how they "adjusted" the angle of the sweep blade as the packer slid down, almost so they don't overuse the cycle =] Whenever I think of NASA a spaceship always comes to mind lol
MitchellM15 Yeah usually the tippers have separate controls but a single control works well with a route like this. With the Formula 5000's almost vertical packer stroke and a load of dry recyclables, half cycling the sweep blade cuts down on hopper fallback and spillage onto the street.

The tipper on the right seems to be severely slow.
nice
You mean Nassau in the Bahamas right?
Good stuff! but judging from the title and description is this supposed to be public? YT decided to publish my private stuff all the time...
Cool video... strange title. This is suppose to be public right? LOL
