Refuse Getter While early bucket loaders may seem primitive today, they were a major advance in worker safety. The loading trough was typically waist-high, as opposed to open dump trucks that were often taller than the men loading them. Leach Company entered the body building business with the Refuse Getter in 1932, and offered variations through the early 1950's. Shown is a late 1930's version from Cleveland, Ohio. The Leach Company has a restored 1932 Refuse Getter at their Oshkosh, Wisconsin headquarters. 8/2/04 © 2004 Eric Voytko All Rights Reserved Photos from factory brochures/advertisements except as noted Logos shown are the trademarks of respective manufacturers
