Sanicruiser was introduced in 1970 as a mid-range model to complete the Leach rear loader line. It is functionally the same as the Standard Packmaster, but has a larger tailgate structure with a two cubic yard capacity hopper. Sanicruiser featured slightly different packer components, notably a larger blade and longer pack cylinders, but still functioned identically to the Standard Packmaster. Body sizes from 16 through 25 cubic yards could be specified.
The Sanicruiser was basically an up-sized Standard Packmaster, with a 78" hopper opening and 2 cubic yard hopper
