![]() The city of Westlake, Ohio with 33,000 residents was a big buyer of the CCC Integrated Rear Loader with 33,000 residents the city needed a truck that packed a punch and in the 1990s there answer for all there refuse collection capacity problems came in the form of the CCC Integrated Rear Loader. A testimate to how much packing power these units had/have. The truck was packed so heavy that the ejector blade actually gets stuck. This truck appears to be a 32 yard truck and was packed out probably every bit of 32,000lbs pay load if not more. Here's one working for the city of Decatur, GA in 2011 on a yard waste route. However the CCC IRL could pack a punch and probably can out pack and out work some of the newer trucks coming off the assembly line today. There maybe a city out there that still has a CCC IRL still in service, and maybe a private garabge collector that has a CCC IRL still around too, but the IFL's pretty much done and I think most of the IRL's have been retired or are on spare/extra duty. I think production of the CCC series stopped in 1999 that was 20 years ago so sadly most of those trucks are pretty much at the end of there economic life span. I think most of the others the side loader and front loader are pretty much done. There are probably some CCC IRLs still out on the road. However due to changing economies of the time the CCC Integrated series fell out of favor to cheaper models the CCC Integrated Rear Loader was one of the best trucks ever made, but because of economic conditions it wasn't the best selling and by the turn of the century CCC stopped manufacturing the IRL, ISL and IFL series. Many municipalities had the CCC IRL and the truck and design was favored through the mid 1980s and all the way to the turn of the century. This truck while it doesn't look like much in this picture actually has a 47 yard body, I don't know what the legal pay load is on it, but it's capacity is huge. The CCC IFL was interesting because the cab was so low that the packing cylinder was actually above the cab which added to improved packing and higher load capacity. They were very successful with there Integrated series of bodies, they had the CCC Front Loader. ![]() CCC started in the late 1940s after World War II they originally built oil field service equipment out of surplus World War II equipment, but before long they started making there own trucks and truck chassis and then there own refuse bodies.ĬCC took all the knowledge that they learned from other manufacturers that had gone out of business and everything the garbage industry had learned up to the early 1940s and put it into the trucks they made. The cylindrical body really worked well and held a great pay load. Pay load and maneuverability, the trucks had it all. These trucks had some of the best packing power and highest pay load capacity out of any garbage truck.ģ.5 yard hopper, meant the trucks had one of the largest hoppers in the industry. These units were built like tanks and available in sizes as small as 20 yards and as large as 32 yards. The Crane Carrier Corporation IRL was one of the best rear load garbage trucks ever made in the history of garbage trucking. Crane Carrier Corporation of Tulsa, Oklahoma.
