How do you like the video?
Good!
Would be better without the glitchy speech synthesis. Why bother making a computer voice say "bye everyone". It's not sincere.
I'd like to thank the original creator of this vid. The one you're blurring out
Still used a lot for larger cement mixers and yard tractors.
Also for cranes.
@@DTD110865 yep, forgot about those.
And steel bar and tube. Never seen a concrete agitator half cab here in Australia though.
Link Belt HTC 8670 and 120 HT
This type of cab is used mainly for yard work now days
Trucks that are chassis for carrying hydraulic excavators are often half cabs. Also cement mixers.
Yard mules
Crane carriers had half cabs to allow for room to put the boom down.
Is this artificial intelligence audio sure seems like it
Sounds like it
Look at the top right - they're probably blurring the channel the video got stolen from
Yea, it started speaking gibberish/French for a second around 2:10 ... yunatatwasus ... then spoke alien at 3:10 ... xtk n'AH
@@BuffaloPros No, that's just sensationalistic
@@BuffaloPros grow up yourself you sound like one of those personalities who tries to dominate people around you if you around me it would not work
Nice video! Showed some I haven't seen. I used to drive "half cab" Macks, which weren't in this video. They used to be very popular in the U.S. They were more like 2/3 cab because they did have 2 seats, but the cab was offset to one side. There are specialty vehicles like cranes and cement mixers still being made this way. Many "toter", "spotter" or "yard dog" trucks are made this way with a door in the back of the cab. They are used only in yards, moving dropped trailers around factories and watehouses, etc the narrow cab helps with visibility backing up, the rear door with hooking and unhooking.
Thanks for your comment
Ty Jehovah Mack you refer to was a full cab just offset and very slightly forward. A DM Mack (offset) and say an R model cab (centered) we’re the same cab.
Just saying as I work on these daily.
In construction applications the Mack side shifted cabs were the DM designation
For on highway they were the U model
They were both really good for backing into tight places where the driver could just look back instead of using his mirrors
My first wife’s father was an engineer with Crane Carrier Company back in the middle 70s. He said they built those single cabs because the company believed that nobody needed to be in the truck except the driver.
I drove half-cab crane trucks delivering steel here in Australia. The reason for the half cab was to allow for longer lengths of bar product to be carried on a rigid truck and allow access to places where a semi would find it difficult to get in and out. They were all conversions from standard cabs, and so they were a lot dearer that a standard, but we could carry 11m lengths rather than the standard 9m that a full cab could do.
We had these as body trucks in Australia for hauling steel and timber or any overlength materials. We referred to them as a long Tom.
They are all special conversions from usual cabover and of course used only for local use, from warehouse to site, not long hauls
What's shocking about the reasons?
I've seen half cabins in dump trucks that don't go on the road but move bulk material within open mines. Also in airport trucks that have half or low-profile cab so they can load aircraft across the front end.
There is nothing shocking about it. This is how I attract the attention of viewers, since the channel is new.
Honesty. How refreshing.
I find those trucks odd but they have a job
what about island cabs?....where the cab is in the middle not to the side left or right but in the middle directly over the engine
I remember when island cabs were a common sight in 1970s. Mostly disappeared in 1980s onwards. Usually, carrying lengths of steel. It was a clever way to carry a longer load, and complying with legal truck length regulations at the time.
Oshkosh/Mack front discharge concrete trucks.
In Denmark you saw them a lot for hauling long steel bars to construction sites.
Major use was as yard haulers at terminals and or piers. Spots the trailer / container to from drop off / discharge point to pickup point. A navy buddy of mine did this while awaiting his next long-haul assignment. Narragansett Bay
Thanks for the information
3:13 no second takes
I can remember the half cab Fodens, ARC had a few 8 wheelers and dump trucks my mate drove one but didn't like it because of the refections from the glass, his had the gardener 180, 9 speed gearbox, some had the 12 speed, seems to be a long time ago now, but remember some good memories
They still make new ones... they're called yard dogs. They're particularly popular for places like cross docks, where their diminutive size and improved visibility make for movinig around the trailers without a full-size semi very easy.
The name for the tractors is "yard mule", "yard dogs" are the people that drive them.
They're are still used in the U.S. for yard trucks, and for driving a trailer across town. That's what they do around me, in Indiana, anyway.
Had CCC (Crane Carrier) dumps here years ago.
"Popeye Mack"
And yes Even centered Narrow cab trucks exist for those who didn't know.
In Massachusetts a lot of cement trucks still use the half cab design.
I Remember Seeing Half Cab Trucks in Australia 🇦🇺 2:21
For being an Ai voiced video, this was actually pretty informative
There is no possibility to voice the video with a live voice now, as the channel develops everything will be. But the videos will be interesting and informative.
@@mountainofautofactsWhy? I can't stand AI robot voice narrator, they always get some pronunciation wrong or odd phrasing that makes it stick out. Why can't you narrate this yourself or find someone who you know that can? They have services available that are cheap to have a human narrate it. I usually end up down voting AI voices because I don't want to hear it again.
2:14 what?
I see a lot of these being used for yardwork near my job.
Where I worked, they were used for switching trailers.
Spanish truck Pegaso had the 3076 and 3078 models, nicknamed "Tuerto" ("One-eyed"). They were dumpers, cranes and drills mainly.
👍
My cousins Tonka dump truck was a half cab
Heres how I do it>>>
I drive my Mav up onto my 9" ramps
THEN
I put my floor jack under the trailer hitch.
!
Never very common in the UK,and being many years since I have seen one ,in fact ,don't think I have ever seen one. ,except a. crane.
Miss those old yard goats trucks
Interesting stuff! I've seen a handful of half cab trucks used for cranes and cement mixers and such, but never a long haul truck.
Why is it shocking? Not wasting my time.
Half-shacks came out back in the day when there was little to no regard for a driver's comfort or safety. I work the industry back in the day and have first hand experience and knowledge with regards to these abortions.
2:12, 3:13
i think it was Mason steel that had a half cab truck to deliver long i beams to support the floor joist. This was in the 1980's.
Yard dogs.
L series Mercedes. What a pain to work on the engine
Bot
Wtf
AI narrated 👎👎
There is no possibility to voice the video with a live voice now, as the channel develops everything will be. But the videos will be interesting and informative.
It's suspected he lifted this video from another foreign language channel and redubbed it with English using the AI voice. Probably why it has odd sentence structure. i.e. google translate and dump it into AI robot voice.. down vote 👎
Terminal tractors are the only ones still around and cement mixers
There are airplane fueling trucks with the extended 2 seat half-cab setup. The right side has a lift to bring the fueler to the wing for fueling.
@@MikeDCWeld interesting
