Introducing First Gear's Waste Management Mack TerraPro
Front Load Refuse Truck with Bin replicated in 1/34 scale.

Item number: 10-4001
 Trash props are not included.
With the front load arms in their up-right position, this diecast metal model measures 11.25 inches long, 3 inches wide, and 4.75 inches tall.
The front is nicely modeled with many great features including chrome-like mirrors on each door with the Mack Bulldog emblem on the back of each one.

There is also a Mack Bulldog hood ornament in the center of the windshield and the Mack logo in the center of the grill.

Through the large, clear front window you can easily view the detailed cab interior including the gray seats, realistic steering wheel, and center console.

In addition, it has a realistic front ladder, heavy-duty bumper, windshield wipers, and headlights.
The cab tilts forward to reveal the  intricately detailed engine including the engine block, radiator fan, and multiple hoses.

The hubs are painted white with black bolt detailing, and the rubber-like tires have a realistic tread pattern.
With the cab tilted forward, you can see the full exhaust system including the heat shields and turbo charger intake.

There are authentic Waste Management graphics on each side of the cab doors.
The passenger's side has an authentic Waste Management graphic on the waste container along with red/white painted reflectors on the waste container, rear discharge door, and front load arm.

Underneath the waste container, you can see the fuel tank just like it would be featured on the real truck.
The driver's side also has the same graphics as the passenger's side.  In addition, the driver's side has a metal ladder and fire extinguisher on the waste container.

Underneath the waste container, you can see the battery compartment and a storage box.
The front load arms are movable and have stiff enough hydraulics to be posed in numerous positions.  The model also comes along with a diecast metal trash bin that fits perfectly onto the front load arms and has a split top opening lid just like a real trash bin.

Need an extra trash bin?
The Waste Management Refuse Bin is also sold individually (Item #90-0169).
From an aerial view, you can see how trash can be easily deposited into the top opening of the waste container.

Above the cab is a moveable metal shield providing extra protection from the trash bin when emptying it into the waste container.
There are many graphics on the rear discharge door including authentic Waste Management graphics, reflectors, and a large caution graphic toward the bottom of the door.

 The Waste Management logo also appears on the mud flaps that are located behind and in front of the rear dual-wheels.
The opening rear discharge door has side locks to keep it securely closed while in transport.  However, it does have stiff enough hydraulics to keep the door posed in many different opening positions.
Don't "waste" any time in adding this truck to your collection.

You could showcase it on your desk or shelf.  With the trash bin and waste container, you have plenty of space to hold office supplies like paper clips and rubber bands!

Join us again next week when we explore the features of another exciting model.
