Your Home for Vintage Refuse Equipment



A rare old photo of a Pak-Mor demonstrator unit on International Harvester truck chassis, circa 1947-49. Below the Pak-Mor logo is the patent number US 2258988, filed by Louis A. LeLaurin in 1941, before Pak-Mor Mfg. was incorporated. This is followed by "San Antonio Tex., Unit No. 104" which likely is the actual serial number. This chain-drive packer body is probably a 15-yard capacity model.

At left is Pak-Mor engineer William A. Ferrari, who later designed the Pak-Mor Giant transfer packer-trailer (1956), the H-Series hydraulic model (1962) and the RL-15 rear loader (1964). At right is Effie Mae Thurmond, one the co-founders of Pak-Mor.

Many thanks to Ray Durrett for sharing this great old family photo.
