Caught this at the Queens Central Sanitation shops recently.

Looks to be a 2006 Freightliner Condor/New Way Mammoth

Is NYC switching away from the Mack MR chasis for the overhead dumpster loaders, or is this just a demo?

Looks pretty cool and modern, though I still feel a Mack is a better product for this application.

What model Mack makes up the core fleet of garbage pick-up trucks. They are some sort of extremely bare bones model, but I've never seen it anyplace else.

this is just a demo they like the mack way to much to switch way for them

The other Mack that they use for curb-side pick up is the LE model

I don't think they will be getting rid of the curb sides. I know that NYC sanitation picks up the trash at my school in the bronx with one of these overheads. Not too sure of the make though. But its real noisy at 5am.

Is it just me, or does that thing look like a big white elephant? LOL!

I prefer the Mack MR, personally.
