Independence, MO: Who says you can't teach an old truck new tricks?  A new HIPPO 4543P for an old City of Independence
Truck
This would have been the perfect before and after, "Extreme-Makeover" picture project, only we didn't think of taking any "before" pictures until "after" it was too late. So, you'll just have to take our word when we tell you that this truck looks (and more importantly, performs) FAR better now than it did before! This is a 1997 International that's been a good truck for the City, and still has better days ahead of it. So when their "powerpack" (and we use that term very loosely) gave up the ghost, the City asked us if we could retrofit their old truck with a new powerpack. We could, and we did!  Check out the cool hose-reel rack we built between the powerpack and the body
Performance Capabilities of HIPPO 4543P
It's a true, "3-N-1" powerpack that can operate ANY three power functions (air, electric, hydraulic tool & hydraulic crane) at the same time, for continuous duty. The crane is "live" all the time, so they don't even have to worry about that; just hook up the pendant and they're good-to-go. They can hook up hydraulic tools to the QD's built right into the powerpack, or on the hydraulic hose-reel. They can hook up air tools (like jackhammers) to the powerpack, or again, directly to the hose reel. We were able to build them a custom hose-reel rack between the body and the powerpack that enabled them to pull both hose reels through an opening only big enough for one hose reel. Look closely at the picture and you'll be able to see how we did it.  Check out the cool hose-reel rack we built between the powerpack and the body
