What happened to Mack garbage trucks?

0 By

You remember when MACK was the Premiere name in the garbage truck industry? No one I mean no one could compete with MACK. They were the cream of the crop! What happened?? Nowadays they aren’t as reliable.. Is it their fault? Have they lost their touch?

NO! Here’s Why

MACK Garbage Trucks are changing as technology and emission standards change. CNG has caused several manufacturers to change the way they build their trucks. This has affected everyone in the industry and not one company is being singled out. We at RDK bring news to everyone who wishes to read about the good, the bad, and the ugly. The MACK garbage trucks have experienced a set back from their original reliability but they are in no way losing their MOJO. They have quality built trucks but because of the new sensors, temperature issues, and storing of CNG, many of the mack garbage trucks have gone a little haywire. We have seen them improve gradually over the years and believe they are perfecting the mack garbage trucks to work perfect but that day has not yet come.

WHEN AND WHAT THE HELL IS THAT

VOLVO has seen the problems MACK garbage trucks have faced and decided to build a garbage truck that runs on DME (dimethyl ether). It is a compound the burns cleaner and allow garbage trucks to run longer. They are also safer for the driver and the environment. The new energy source is not yet ramped up in the United States yet but we will keep you informed when the switch is making some serious headway. The Mack garbage trucks are still some of our favorites. In fact I have the famous Mack dog sitting here in my office as I type. The technology will catch up and one day MACK garbage trucks will be just as reliable as they were Pre-Emission.

Why are Used refuse trucks best buy?

0 By

The Problem with buying NEW is you are going to pay a ton for a truck that will be in the shop within the next three months. The newer trucks are experiencing problems ever since the switch to CNG. The technology and fuel source are not to the level they need to be at in order to pay such a substantial amount for. USED Trucks are less costly and you get more BANG for your BUCK.

Pre-Emission

Before the emissions changed in 2008, Pre-Emission did not even exist. The used refuse trucks were just that, used. No one was interested in purchasing them unless they did not have the money for a new one. There was no inclination for someone to buy one because there was no emission problems. Pre-Emission now stands for the time before the CNG takeover. Going green has been all the craze in the past decade and we fully support it. If going green doesn’t put a hole through our wallets that is. We are all in this business to make money and saving the environment is important. That is why we here at RDK are researching diligently to find out how to do both.

Post-Emission

The Post-Emission era gave way to CNG. We experienced the problems, people are still fighting for it, and some of us have moved on to greener pastures. Volvo being one of them moving on. Volvo has gone ahead of the curve and built refuse trucks that run on DME. This will eventually reach us in the UNITED STATES. Currently, they have used refuse trucks running on DME in Europe. We have seen Dimethyl Ether in China as well. This new fuel source burns at a temperature that allows the trucks to safely run longer and harder while capturing more profits. This new fuel source we believe is the future and eventually we will have new and used refuse trucks running off a cleaner energy source that will cost less money. We are not at liberty to say when but if you Subscribe below and join the RDK family we will gladly update you with any news we get.

Why are Used Garbage Trucks best buy?

0 By

Struggling with the decision to buy new or used?? We are here to help! This article tells you exactly what we have found out in the past ten years and why our customers would rather buy used garbage trucks over new.

TECHNOLOGY ISSUES

We have seen the switch from gas to CNG! Many companies in the industry know that this switch was not done smoothly to say the least. The problems arising from CNG have caused many of our customers to lose money from downtime and feel what we call “buyers remorse.” The buyer’s remorse comes from getting a new truck in which you spend top dollar for and a month down the line it goes into the shop. The new sensors and controls have been experiencing issues over the last couple of years. Engineers are working out the kinks to build a more reliable truck that has less issues occur but we are not ready to fully support the new garbage trucks just yet.

NEW ENERGY

Along with the technology changes being made, CNG becoming a dominating factor for garbage trucks, and the repair shops being full of trucks, a new energy source has shown up on the horizon. DME or dimethyl ether is becoming a widely accepted new fuel source in China and Europe. These trucks are able to go longer and further on less fuel. Sounds too good to be true, right?! Well it has been proven to be a more efficient garbage truck by Volvo. The Manufacturer has been garbage trucks that run completely off this new energy source and because of it they have are seeing less downtime and more money. The future is here, it just has not hit our customers yet.

BUY NEW OR USED

The United States will see the new energy source soon! Right now we recommend buying a used garbage truck until the new DME trucks hit our market. Buying a new CNG truck will cost your company a fortune and if you not tied to city contracts requiring you to purchase 2015 models, get a used garbage truck. They have proven to be efficient money making machines and if you are lucky you may find one in PREMIUM CONDITION.
