mowerman Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Kind of a cool rig but it doesn’t look too easy to get into to me at least not as easy as the MB. Bob Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/67244-big-new-ford/#findComment-476417 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Seems to me the steps should be on the back of the wheel that would make it a little easier and you wouldn’t be climbing in backwards ha ha or at least that’s what it looks like… bob Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/67244-big-new-ford/#findComment-476418 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Horse Posted July 6, 2021 Author Share Posted July 6, 2021 I think they have a lot of well placed grab handles if my memory is right. Of course never seen one but have seen quite a few videos Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/67244-big-new-ford/#findComment-476422 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Licensed to kill Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Looking at that truck reminds me of one of the MANY reasons I am grateful I don't live in Europe. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/67244-big-new-ford/#findComment-476428 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at that truck says to me the Europeans haven't discovered the huge advantage front discharge mixers have over rear discharge. Rear discharge has its place where on a big project , the mixer backs up to the hopper on a pump truck and drops the entire load.

tjc transport Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 if that thing is anything like the sterling sweeper we just got rid of, it will be a royal pain in the asterisk to get in and out of. and it looks an awful lot like the sterling cab style. 1 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

No connection- your Sterling cab was an earlier generation Ford Cargo cab. I don't think there is anything in this cab that is a carry over from that early Cargo. Not that any LCF has good cab access/egress vs a conventional😎 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/67244-big-new-ford/#findComment-476461 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Horse Posted July 7, 2021 Author Share Posted July 7, 2021 If you go to You Tube...4142M Concrete Mixer Truck (2019)...there is a video that shows the steps/grab handle system. Steps are all perforated so they are not "mud/snow" catchers. Looks pretty good-for a LCF. And there is even a guy attempting to explain things in English! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/67244-big-new-ford/#findComment-476462 Share on other sites More sharing options...
