Touch A Truck

Hembrough Lawn Care brought us a tree planting truck today!
Touch A Truck

The tree spade has four spades that dig into the ground to make a hole or pick up a tree.

But how does it get around a tree you ask? It has a nifty way of opening in the middle so it can go around a tree. Thanks Hembrough for bringing a cool truck!

Hembrough also planted 7 trees in our green space behind the library. They used the same machine to plant the trees and it took two men about 5 hours to get all 7 trees planted! Impressive!

If you are thinking of getting a new vehicle, you might consider getting a bucket truck. It can go 60 feet in the air!

It has amazing maneuverability!

And it has all of these handy cabinets for your saws, blowers, pruners, etc. I know I carry a saw with me at all times! Thank you Turner for the great truck!

We had a chip speader from Illinois Road Contractors come this week! It is really, really big!
Touch A Truck

A dump truck is hooked onto the back of the chip spreader, then a conveyor belt carries the rock under the operator to the arms.
Touch A Truck

The arms can go in and out. They also have flaps that can be individually controlled. They need to do that when they come to an intersection.
Touch A Truck

Perhaps the best part is that the seat moves too! There are lots of buttons and levers. It is just a cool yellow truck!
UPS Truck

Robert from UPS came to tell us about his big, brown truck!
UPS Truck

Did you know that the Jacksonville area UPS drivers deliver an average of 3,200 packages A DAY! That goes up to more than 5,000 at Christmas time!
UPS Truck

This guy might be able to get a job at Christmas time!

Illinois Road Contractors brought out a roller truck for our Touch A Truck session.
Touch A Truck

A roller truck pivots in the middle to turn, the wheels stay straight. It's all a good hand exercise!

Who doesn't want to sit on a big yellow truck?

I swear she had a big smile on her face just a second before I took this picture!

I hope nothing comes out of there!
