This is a trash compactor. It's primary job is to drive over the trash in the landfill squeezing it into as tight of a space as possible. they operate over 10 hours a day so they need regular preventive maintenance inspections and service. #caterpillar #dieseltechnician #construction #tradeschool

All technicians, Diesel or Automotive, that are starting out or are new to their career should watch this to find the answer to these questions. #diesel #Automotive #technician #training #arizonaautomotiveinstitute #careers #Youtubecertified
