 
Curbtender and RC Series
Rather than expend precious resources for development of an Automated Side Loader (ASL), Leach instead chose to market a proven design in cooperation with Wayne Engineering of Cedar Falls, Iowa. Leach sold the Curbtender (with their own badging) during the 1990s. The Curbtender featured a shallow, full-travel packer plate (with follower) for better densities and to assist during the tilt-unloading process. Body sizes available were 20, 24, 27 and 31-cubic yards. The 2,000 pound capacity lift arm could be adapted to lift containers up to 450 gallons.
Leach RC-Series Recyclers
Leach introduced the RC series during the recycling renaissance of the early 1990s. These were very simple compartmented bodies, with tilt-to-dump unloading. Selective unloading could be done by unlocking the dividers in succession. The truck-mounted RC-23 (23.5 yards) and trailerized RC-17 (17.2 yards) were simple and inexpensive alternatives to mechanized units, and offered great sorting flexibility.
