Milwaukee, Wisconsin was one city using 'mobile' transfer stations, in the form of this Pak-Mor compaction trailer being loaded by a high-lifting Dempster GRD (1975). The rectangular trailers were discontinued in 1991. 
Pak-Mor also provided equipment for fixed transfer stations. RL-15 series rear loaders discharge into a Pak-Mor push-pit compactor unit. 
Down below the pit, a rectangular compaction trailer hauls out a load, and disgorges a 'cube' at the dump site 
Use of Pak-Mor Lo-Boye trailers allowed for lower discharge clearances, such as in this mid-70s installation for handling shredded paper at Odessa, Texas. A special round receiver and loading ram were designed specifically to couple with the Lo-Boye units 
The Lo-Boye trailer remained in limited production into the 2000s. This 1998 top-loader is equipped with a grapple arm for bulk refuse or brush 
Pak-Mor Handi-Lift container hoists for the H-series side loaders were phased out in favor of the all-hydraulic Link Retriever system. This 1981 version has been outfitted for 90/300 gallon residential automated collection thanks to clamp arms, a front pump and right-hand drive. A long-reach, dedicated ASL version (HR200 Retriever) would be available by the mid-80s 
H-series also received new one-piece tailgates, hydraulically raised, as shown on this manual side loader used by an east coast U.S. Navy base 
1984: Big 28-yard H-series body fitted with a leaf vacuum attachment, mounted on an STI Buzzard truck chassis. A favorite of municipalities, they made quick work of curbside leaf pickup. 
With a bubble tailgate, this 1988 model HLRL Container Retriever holds 33-cubic yards. When not servicing containers, manual loading is also possible through this side door.
