A new heavy duty chassis-cab, i.e., “chassis”, for refuse applications, has been designed to improve the productivity of its operator while minimizing his or her physical efforts. The chassis has its operating compartment and controls arranged such that required operator's motions are productive. The chassis features minimize the operator's exertion and maximize his or her comfort, thereby reducing fatigue associated with an otherwise strenuous occupation. This product was developed utilizing a new, structured process involving discrete phases, checkpoints and teams.

Employing the systems approach, an extended maintenance interval has been developed for the entire truck. Included are engine oil, gear oil, chassis grease, and the various filters required. Extensive laboratory and field testing was conducted in developing the various specifications and component configurations required to assure satisfactory performance and durability.

The truck flywheel power takeoff has proven itself as a reliable means of supplying continuous power to a variety of mounted equipment. The features of available units are described in detail in an effort to provide the design and application engineer with complete information regarding their function and application, and to stimulate expanded usage of this constant power source.
