Geesink Emmeloord, Netherlands     During the 1950s, Geesink was one of several Netherlands companies which built a fore & aft tipper designed by Pieter De Graaff. By the 1960s, an escalator-compactor rear loader was added, for use with a portable container system, featuring tilt-dump or ejection unloading. Additionally, the American Leach Packmaster was built under license during the 1960s.

This DAF truck may have an imported body from the USA. It looks exactly like a 25-yard model from America, right down to the ID plate at the front corner. It also has the mounting flanges for the "Leach" emblem atop the body opening at front (some UK Packmasters had a "Lacre" emblem in this same location). Later Geesink Packmasters have slightly different body side sheet stampings as well.
