The Mack Granite chassis is mounted with an 11-cubic-yard M80 Series Drum, the McNeilus FLEX Controls Bridgemaster, donated by McNeilus.
Powered by an 11-liter, 395 horsepower Mack MP®7-395C engine, the donated Mack Granite model has power fed through Mack’s 14-speed Mack m DRIVE*™* HD automated manual transmission with ultra-low ratio creeper gears and multi-speed reverse.
