Load-Packer 700
Introduced in 1965, this was Gar Woods first full eject model, and the tailgate design reverted to that of the LP-500 with radial sidewall braces and a ribbed packer panel powered by "pusher" cylinders. Like the LP-500, it had independent tailgate lift cylinders, but for the first time they were mounted externally on the upper sidewalls. The cover on the right side of the tailgate was to protect the control linkage, and first appeared on late model LP-600s. Though these trucks are nearly extinct in the U.S, the method is still popular in Asia on the Fuji Mighty as well as the Dae Kyung Route Pack/Clean Pack series. 8/1/04 © 2004 Eric Voytko All rights reserved Photos from factory brochures/advertisements except as noted Logos shown are the trademarks of respective manufacturers |
