CLICK IMAGES TO ENLARGE
Force Northwest sold the Magnum chain roll-off for several years, eventually selling out to Peerless in 1988. Peerless, since absorbed into Heil Corporation, no longer makes roll-offs. Versions have also been marketed by General Equipment, AA Welding (Advantage Roll-Off), Cascon Mfg. and Enterprise Sales.
"Harold Alexander's roll-off invention has helped make it easy and efficient for billions or trillions of tons of waste/recycle/scrap metal to be properly handled, contained and safely transported" says Todd Alexander. "It should be considered one of the best contributions to the waste hauling industry, as it has help move more tons than any other system developed!"
Classic Refuse Trucks salutes hauler and inventor Harold Alexander, and sincerely thanks Keith and Todd Alexander for sharing the story of their father and the many great old photographs contained in this article.
