Pak-Mor in the 1970's and 1980's


Milwaukee, Wisconsin was one city using 'mobile' transfer stations, in the form of this Pak-Mor compaction trailer being loaded by a Dempster GRD (1975). The rectangular trailers were discontinued in 1991.




Pak-Mor also provided equipment for fixed transfer station facilities. Pictured are some RL-15 series rear loaders discharging into a Pak-Mor push-pit compactor unit

Use of Pak-Mor Lo-Boye trailers allowed for lower discharge clearances, such as in this mid 70's installation for handling shredded paper at Odessa, Texas. A special round receiver and loading ram were designed specifically to couple with the Lo-Boye units



Pak-Mor Handi-Lift container hoists for the H-series side loaders were phased out in favor of the all-hydraulic Link Retriever system. This 1981 version has been outfitted for 90/300 gallon residential automated collection thanks to clamp arms, a front pump and right-hand drive. A long-reach, dedicated ASL version (HR200 Retriever) would be available by the mid 80's



H-series also received new one-piece tailgates, hydraulically raised, as shown on this manual side loader used by an east coast U.S. Navy base



With a bubble tailgate, this 1988 model HLRL Container Retriever holds 33 cubic yards. Normal operation is automatic from the cab, however manual loading is also possible through side door opposite lift
