BOWLES ROLL OFF EQUIPMENT

    Beginning in the late 1950s, a full range of roll-off frames and equipment was available from Bowles. Initially, straight boxes and Pac-King stationary compactors were available in 16, 18, 20 or 22-foot lengths. Front load packer bodies could also be ordered in 18, 20 or 22-foot models.

This roll-off with a pull-type packer body shown in the pictures above was built for Dole Pineapple in Hawaii
