Holy crap! I didn't know front loaders had been around for so long, and to see footage of the original ones is just incredible. Crazy how the overall design really hasn't changed over the years either.
Could this be the all-time greatest video? Classic trucks, Eastman color, White and IHC cabovers and even a cigar-smoking trash truck driver (this was, of course, required of drivers in the 1960s). Until seeing it on film, I don't think I ever realized how massive the Super DM was. Can you believe the size of that hopper opening?! Also, the modified Dumpsters are almost half as big as the body.
There is a metal recycler west of Atlanta that still uses the drop floor dumpster system. These old videos are awesome brother. Thanks again for sharing them!
WHITE TRUCK WAS A.TECHNOLOGICAL JUGGERNAUT! They had one white 3000 c/0 that self drove itself-it came with an optional life sized drivers head with cigar / this head rig fit into the drivers window, slightly leaning out! (it Even had a long fake, hairy arm, the hand & knuckles dragging on ashphalt. There was even a scary prototype head with a lit cigar / it had a tape recorder in it- in a.loud tinny voice it would contnuosly say 'hey mac-" or " getouttadahway yah jagoff" Also had the option to "wolf whistle" if a female with baby carriage was picked up on the sensors in dashboard, It never became popular and was canned
The front end already looks over weight as a front loader driver of 29 years it would of been awesome if I got to drive n operate these amazing front loaders .

When things work efficiently you don't change it sir

Damn. I wouldn't pick up that 12yd bin if it had anything heavier than styrofoam peanuts in it.
Nice
Sorta reminiscent of the ancient driver's ed films.
Mesh guards? Back when they cared about it.
