Wastequip Takes New Galbreath Brand Loaded Container Handler on the Road

Wastequip has taken two of its Galbreath Loaded Container Handlers (LCH) on tour throughout the country as part of its ongoing dealer demonstration program. The trucks are designed for dealers to promote the new LCH while providing customer demonstrations of the unit’s safety features.

Wastequip says that the units are ideal to show the operation as well as the safety and stability of Galbreath’s LCH versus the competition. In a release, the company notes that other container handler manufacturers have the container center of gravity behind the rear axle. Also, the container sits up higher and further behind the cab than the Galbreath container handler.

The Galbreath LCH’s center of gravity sits in front of the rear axles and transfers more than 25 percent of the weight to the front steering axles. The combination of improved weight distribution and the ability to have the container sit level on the chassis assures smooth, efficient and safe transport of loaded containers up to 8,000 pounds, even at highway speeds.

“The purpose of these demo units is to show customers that our LCH is fully DOT compliant when used with 1-yard to 10-yard frontload containers and 1-yard to 6-yard rear load containers without having to add marker flags or auxiliary light bars to make it safe and legal for highway use,” says Don Clouser, mobile equipment product manager. “This will save customers time and money.”

“With these demo units customers can see for themselves that the LCH provides legal overhang for containers, assuring that rear lights are visible and eliminating the requirement for an Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) bumper,” Clouser adds.
