Hi guys,
This week I want to go take a look at some old garbage trucks that a local municipality has decommissioned more or less and just parks down at the sewage treatment plant in the bone yard there and what I don't understand about that is why they have 8 trucks sitting there that probably could have been sold off, but I don't know there business.
I want to know who the body manufacturer is just so I can look them up on Classic Refuse Trucks. Maybe if I describe them you guys will know.
These are all rear load garbage trucks built by Crane Carrier Corp and the bodies are round like a tank. I'm thinking there Pak-Mores but not really sure. This particular municipality still has probably 4-5 mid 1980s Pak-More rear-loaders still on the road. Now they also have updated there fleet quite a bit as well, any how though who were the major manufacturers of garbage trucks with more tankish like round bodies?

I found out doing a Google Search. I guess Crane Carrier Corp made there own garbage truck bodies.
Used to see these in the 1990s around here in certain municipalities.

If you are interested, there is a website with a database for that sort of thing. www.classicrefusetrucks.com.There were a lot of front end load round body trash trucks. The people behind Bowles did quite a few of them.

Back in the '80s, the Emco plant (in partnership with Rand) in Plainview, TX made round-bodied trucks that loaded dumpsters from the side.
