The venerable "C-Arm" Formula 7000 is the be-all-end-all of automated collection as far as I'm concerned. Mechanically reliable, fast on route, inexpensive to buy and maintain. And of course versatile. Not many arm designs will handle 300s in alleys, the 7000 takes it in stride. Almost as if it was tailor made to suit St. Pete's route conditions.
This truck was found in Woodlawn, one of St. Petersburg's many beautiful brick paved neighborhoods. One of my favorite places to be and with a fleet of my favorite automated trucks has made every trip a pleasure. This time around I finally managed to catch a 320 with that funky center stack. Thought it was weird at first but it's purpose quickly became apparent; take a look at the overhanging branches at 5:50 for example. Pretty clever.
Thanks to the driver. Filmed December 30, 2014.
