Super-rare DSNY Leach Packmaster

[rockawaypark101]

Thats what we need again three man trucks

[bigsal31]

LOL, what bullshit! that third man never got out of the truck, thats why they were referred to as "sitting bulls".

yeah they had 14,000 employees but if you notice it was a three man operation

before they went to a two man truck

The men in this video are the real Tier 1

sanitmen who humped garbage in those

heavy metal gorilla cans and never whined like the newer generation of sanitworkers today on the job.

14,000 employees? wow, i saw in a recent video they had 6000 now or something to that number, what a reduction over the years.

my dad used to own his own refuse business, he owned a 1970 packmaster and a 1983 sanicruiser, its hard to find footage of these trucks although the packmaster and sanicruiser are only slightly different in hopper size.....good effort in this vid

[jswift1333]

i wonder how many tons those small trucks hold. it probably cant do the 12-13 tons the mack trucks do evryday

[Trashman242]

Wow that's great! Love all the recent posts! 5 stars!!

That was nice,Wish you could find a clip of that truck packing that would be super sweet!!!

[ClassicRefuseTrucks]

It is a rare find because the DSNY's use of Leach product was very short. I seem to get foiled at every attempt to get good footage of a Packmaster in action. This film had none, Another had half the cycle (Sanicruiser).  Sheesh! Fifteen minutes of film and they couldn't spare another ten seconds!

[arkansastrash320]

Thanks for your effort it is appericated alot.

All this garbage here formed the bottom of the Fresh Kills landfill..too bad that dump is closed now!
