The primary design of CCC's trucks are Cab-Beside-Engine (CBE) or half-cabs, most notably the Century II Unimixer.

[1] CCC began as a firm that remanufactured World War II-era surplus vehicles for civilian crane-carrying use.

[2] Though primarily building CBEs, CCC started moving toward the two-seater market during the 1970s, with models such as the Centaur.

[3] CCC was acquired by Hines Corporation in June 2013 and the company’s headquarters was relocated to New Philadelphia, Ohio.

Under Hines, a strategic merger was initiated to join CCC and Kimble Manufacturing forming Hines Specialty Vehicle Group – manufacturer of custom heavy-duty chassis and purpose built vehicles for the refuse and recycling, infrastructure maintenance, ground support, agriculture, oil and gas, and concrete mixer markets.
