Universal Handling Side Loader     Beginning around 1972, Universal Handling produced a one-man side loader body to compliment their total collection/transfer system. These were designed for residential use, and used a drop-frame design with short-stroke packer very similar to the Shu-Pak. However, these were full-eject bodies, incorporating a moveable front wall, presumably operated by rams concealed within the body. These are believed to have been very low production models, and were advertised from 1973 to 1975.     The following images were provided by Dana Gregory, showing a truck built for Ottawa Disposal Systems on an International Harvester Loadstar with walk-in, dual-control cab.
