- Here's one of a few Dempsters that are still being ran up this way. As you can see, I feature their unique dumpster/tipper systems in action. Quite interesting if you ask me. The driver wasn't too keen on video, but warmed up to us enough to get a full video. I threw almost every single clip I got in here because I'm not sure how much more of these i'll end up getting so I figured everyone would want to see it in action, or at least give everyone the option to fill their wants. Enjoy

I worked for a trash company in the late 90’s. We had nothing by Route King II’s with a modified tailgate extension. The extension included a Barker Bros. rotary actuated lift. Our route production and reload times stop-to-stop were unmatched. 1,200-1,500 homes a day with incredible production, thanks to this body. It was the best body I ever worked on. Thanks for posting!
Awesome clip! The Route King II is really interesting to watch.
SeRefuseTrucks thank you I'd have to agree
I spent almost 10 years working behind a RKII they packed a hell of a load for residential but were not built for dumping dumpsters.

Good sounding motor
Awesome catch, that is one cool tipper. Sure makes an RL video much, much more interesting for me. Seems like there's more benefits to having a high tipper like that compared to how many tippers are set up today, any idea what the draw backs are and why more companies don't use tippers like this? I would think it would work well for haulers who don't have RL dumpsters, and even in this case, it sure didn't seem like a huge problem having to lift the tipper bar all the way up (which was 1. a surprise to see, and 2. super cool). Really great truck, always been a fan of these Route Kings. Great find!
WMmaster626 thanks man glad you enjoyed this one. I think the main draw back is the fact that they were cylinder operated so the cylinder wears out over time, and obviously how bulky they were so it was making the whole truck useless when it came to dumpsters. This was set up to be the best of both worlds. The old school tipper (which was super common in my area back in the rabanco days) and then a totally custom system that raises the tipper up to accommodate dumpsters.
I was thinking this was a rebody (rechassis I guess) too but cool that it's more than likely original, and therefore one of the newest Dempsters around. I like how the driver would casually change which side he wanted to drive from, neither being governed on speed. go CCC. 7:15 were those manual bins for recycling or something?
Trashman242 i mean, it’s possible that these were rebodies but the fact that they have half of these and half with round lights and very very few new rear loaders such as McNeilus really lead me to the conclusion that these were some of the last years of production that the dempster saw. Pretty unique I think. And yes those were for recycle. Thanks for the comment
Nice truck thanks cool tipper and packer Can u get some footage of the recycling truck? please
Awesome video. These Dempsters and Goliaths are by far my favorite models of rear loader all in part due to the unique and clever hopper sweep system. I just love the mechanics, design, and motion the packer has. Its nice how high that tipper unloaded the carts too, but its a shame he has to run the pack cycle every cart or else the blade would push the contents out. Is that a custom cart-tipper-bar lift feature on this unit? Really interesting to see. Thanks for sharing
SoCalGarbageTrucks thanks man. I would agree, these are some of my favorite rear loaders. Definitely was excited to film one of these dempster with the classic ARE tippers that used to be all over my area
SoCalGarbageTrucks also, totally forgot to reply to this, but yes that tipper on the assembly that raises it up is custom. It's on all of their rear loaders
This looks odd, was that Route King body a transplant onto this CCC?
MrBillT no sir, this was all original minus their custom tipper deal that lifts the tipper out of the way to allow for dumpsters
The CCC looks like a newer model. What was the last year the Route King was made?
MrBillT 2003 was the last year of the dempster. That would be the perfect era for this model CCC which was made from 2000 onwards until the LET2 came out (not exactly sure when) which would mean that this model ccc was made for 4 years before being discontinued. Definitely not common to find a dempster on a chassis as new as this so it's pretty neat to see haha
Well then! What a neat find! Definitely cool to see such an odd combo.
I just ordered one yesterday not this style it's a new way king cobra and it has to cart tippers on it I have my new way viper but my king cobra is comming this spring
