Gold Coast JJR Front Lifts - Garbage & Recycling
JJ Richards runs a tight ship over in the City of Gold Coast contract. One of a few large contracts they have over in Queensland. Since the Gold Coast is one of Australias biggest tourist attractions, it requires a 24/7 non stop running of waste collection to keep up with demand.
On a Friday morning last year whilst on holidays in the Gold Coast, I was woken up to the sound of Euro5 Accos getting driven foot flat to the floor with their distinctive PTO sound waking up all of Broadbeach at 5:30am. I went for a walk and was greeted with a few front lifts that were running rings around me taking out all the busy parts of Broadbeach. I settled with one of the Garbage ones that was servicing a lane way collecting commercial business bins and also bins from a hotel. An hour later, the Recycle Front Lift appeared out of no where servicing a couple of the apartment complexes in the area.
I chatted to the two drivers and they told me they don't stop all day, they pretty much have one pace and that's to get the stuff off the road. I've never seen such fast paced front lift action before. I was more happy to just sit there watch them fly around emptying the bins rather than getting videos. It's like you're doing a side loader run but in a front lift lol. JJ Richards did re win the Gold Coast contract and I'm sure it will be an end of an era when all these Euro5 Accos get retired soon. Can't beat the sound of a JJ's Acco with their classic PTO sound. Cheers to the drivers for letting me film and I hope you Enjoy!!! ;) ;) ;)

Just being there in person watching this man empty bins in this 2018 E5 Acco GenV was just amazing. I don't think I have ever seen such efficient and effortless operating as good as this before. It was also nice to finally see someone throwing an Acco around how it should be driven and hearing that droning noise coming from the engine was just tops. It's fair to say that this is my best video I...

    Heaps curious about the full extent of the GCCC front lift operation, I've gotta do a Facebook post and ask questions to find out some facts! Definitely a different ballgame what they're doing, just look at the amount of bins he's throwing in this short stretch of laneway, it's like the front lift equivalent of 250/h on the side loaders haha Almost get the impression the bulk work side of this contract is as important as the house runs, must be some serious collections volume that gets done with the commercial and high rise segment of the job. Seems to me the GCCC front lift fleet just missed out on being 2010 models judging by the fleet numbers, I was imagining what the sound could've been in this video. I probably won't get to see this generation of the front lift business up there, but I'll have to visit in future and see + appreciate the game in person with the new fleet. I think I enjoy the recycle collections with the fronties a bit more than the garbage coz it's extra unique, love the idea and noise of lots of comingle falling into the big hopper, but I guess that's not going to be the same with the container refund scheme up there now. Gotta say, it's like a criminal act that there's no overhead shot of a truck included in this video, that's like a signature angle for GCCC front lifts! 😝 Glad you captured what you did, keen to see the other stuff you're yet to share 👍

      It's amazing stuff, definitely a different ball game with the front lift stuff up there. A full E4 fleet would of been something else haha. I'd like to document the Recycling front lifts more as its something you don't see much off anywhere else. The only other thing I have left is one of the JJ's Side loaders on Recycle.

    I've seen a lot of side arm operators over the years, and this one is by far the worst I've watched. Absolute "cowboy" just as per the name on the truck. Lifter too quick, no finesse with the motions, hard on the acceleration, head/work lights still on in daylight, just a few signs of a steering wheel attendant... I bet Ben would be furious if he saw this guy working! All jokes aside, job well done from both parties, an entertaining watch. Must feel different videoing a Hume truck now having worked there yourself, to think sadly one day this footage will be all for the memories of Hume council works. Just coming from your Boroondara video, damn that visor makes a fat difference to the appearance - old news, but still gets to me some places ordered these trucks without one.

    I remember when you sent me the photos of this truck, and all this time I thought you got two different side arms coz of the purple and orange signage colours 😅 Awesome to watch 132 while it was still youthful and running sweet. Always loved the traditional Boroondara bin set as well, dark green for garbage, blue for recycle and orange lid for greens... I think it's a unique colour group, no other council had it? Great to soak up the in-house operations, something else which seems to be disappearing or changing in one way or another alongside the trucks we enjoy. Very tidy operator too, good on him! Only downside to this video is it's a Euro 5, I could only imagine the truer ACCO sound playing on audio 🙃

    • @VictorianGarbo

      If you saw what this truck looked like today or even saw what the whole Boroondara fleet looks like, you'll be shocked! I don't think there is anyone there that even washes their trucks mate. Some tailgates are that black you can't even read the rego plates. Apart from Yarriambiack having the full yellow Recycle bins, Boroondara is the only one down here in Melbourne to have blue bodies. Up until not long ago though, they have moved to dark green bodies with yellow lids for Recycle. Yeah, its not the same anymore without their Euro4 fleet.

    I still recall you telling me about this Wodonga trip and sending a photo of this truck, I reckon it was longer ago than I think too! Spotted old mate a couple times at 4:05 and 12:15 standing back enjoying the show haha Totally agree the opening clip was the best part, definitely tops with the wind carrying the sound... or listening to the orchestra as you worded it =P The music was on point from 6:20 as well, hearing the high idle holding its note through the wind as he was turning around. Then from 9:25 got some real nice speed tunes with a combo of engine roar and pump whine, gunning it to that last bin and afterwards leaving the street - always love how well your camera picks up the noise. Gotta say this truck loses a few points with the long slide extensions, there was nothing swift and smooth about it, even appeared jerky at times, so made it a bit painful to watch from around 4:10 lol I'm curious how many of these they had with bull bars, turns out the side loader I got photos of in Greater Hume was 072, also wonder which council this 070 initially worked in. Really was a cool fleet Cleanaway had running in the region... seeing this video made me reflect a bit on the trucks I saw in 2012 and the variety was on point, all topped off with the original blue and branding.

One of the best sounding ones I've come across, truck looked real healthy for its age. Not sure how many are left but there wouldn't be many left up there.
