There is no rear controls as its operated by wireless remote control.  Suddenly I feel like I'm living in the 19th century. |

I can discharge, mix, rasie chute, lower chute and pick the engine revs up and down by remote control standing 20+ meters away from the truck. A buzzer sounds in the cab untill i put the remote back in the holder so i dont drive off with the remote left behind on a pump or sat on the back of the truck. Here is our loading area. we drive under to get loaded.  After loading we drive forward to the slump stand.  |

Nice set up you have there Munkey! I’m sure it makes some of the plant and truck combinations here in The States look prehistoric. Something tells me that Australia’s version of the EPA is a little more strict than ours. Glad to have you on the site. Thanks for the contributions

All eight trucks are set-up simular. We thought the aussie trucks would have been behind the big USA trucks. The EPA are just like the RTA (roads)they both a bunch of bloody clowns.. Heres a snap of the cab controls and remote:  Intresting site you have here i used the ''How much did you take out?'' line today that i picked up from this site, maybe it will go global. No worries mate. |

Dude, an indoor slump island! That would rule.
Apparently McNeilus makes some remote controls, but we haven't seen any.
And which way does your toilet bowl flow? Clockwise, or counterclockwise?

I heard that after you flush it keeps coming back like a boomerang, but maybe I heard wrong.  |

Haha, ill check which way it go's when i discharge tonights pizza, i think it will be 0.6 maybe with a 0.2mtr message from the dessert, but it should flush well being 120 slump. |
