How'd They Build That? Garbage Truck

Description

What is loud, dirty, smelly and extremely fun to watch? A garbage truck, of course! Maybe it's all those automated parts that fascinate us...like the giant arms of a side loader, or the huge forked claws of a front loader, or even the big crushing tailgate of a rear loader. But did you ever wonder where these trucks come from or how they're made? Now you can learn all about garbage trucks in a visit to the McNeilus factory in Dodge Center, Minnesota. Get an up-close look at one of the most automated machines on the road and see how a garbage truck is assembled to efficiently pack and transport your waste.
