67RModel Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 I was browsing Facebook Marketplace and saw this behemoth. Certainly a very strangely specd heavy hauler in near perfect condition. It says it was originally a NYC Department of Sanitation rig. Maybe @NycHeavyIron knows its history. No affiliation to the listing. Just posting here for others to see. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1152117472375080/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terry Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 A real heavy hauler! alot of money, but probably not for one set up that way. terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjc transport Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 unless the gearing was changed, those rigs only had a top speed of around 40 MPH. they were used for hauling VERY HEAVY loads in the landfills themselves, and never saw use on public roads 2 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

NycHeavyIron Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 Fantastic find, thank you for posting! This was one of the 90Y trucks used in the Landfill. It was originally blue then at some point they painted it white, it also had a big headache/light rack with a HEAVY Braden winch mounted to the frame behind the cab, used to pull out broken down Caterpillar D9's off the active cells. The last I saw this truck was in 2016, it was towing one of the snow melters on Staten Island. Here are some pictures of this exact truck: 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 67RModel Posted September 13 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 13 Here are two pictures from the facebook listing for anyone who cant access the link. Someone really put in some time to bring it back from what it was. Certainly a unique rig. At least it was saved and not parted out or scrapped. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NycHeavyIron Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 I would also like to add (for anyone curious) all of these rd800's used by DSNY were Cat powered (3406 engines). True unicorns, I would imagine not many have cat engines besides these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
