Front-loading waste collection vehicle Half/Pack LowRider®

electricwith compactor

Overview
The Heil® Half/Pack® LowRider® combines residential accessibility with front-loader commercial capability in a low-profile front-load body. Designed to increase usable payload, reduce overall body height for improved access under overhead obstructions, and deliver faster cycle times and improved uptime. Configured for use with the Curotto-Can® automated carry can and compatible with Odyssey® Controls and Connected Collections telematics.

Key benefits

• Low 12 in reduced working/stowed body height vs. standard Half/Pack bodies to improve access under trees, utility lines and other overhead obstructions.
• Optimized-weight, high-compaction body to increase payload and reduce chassis wear (brakes, tires), enabling more stops per route.
• Lightning Cylinder package reduces dump-cycle time by approximately 5 seconds per dump for significant cycle-time improvements.
• Designed primarily for residential collection while maintaining front-loader commercial capability through Curotto-Can® compatibility.
• Integrated In-Sight display and diagnostic features simplify operator control and troubleshooting.

Standard features and equipment

• Fully-enclosed front head (enclosed up to 19 in from hopper floor to bottom of arc-sensor opening to reduce leachate escape onto chassis).
• Odyssey® Controls — refined hydraulic and electronic control system for precise, reliable operation.
• 7 in In-Sight integrated display with real-time body information, diagnostics, and integrated camera feeds.
• Lightning Cylinder package to speed container dump cycle.
• Zinc-plated hydraulic tubes to reduce corrosion and hydraulic leaks.
• Illuminated push-button controls with indicator lights for body, packer, pump and lighting functions.
• Aluminum cab shield with rigid steel frame and aluminum top door to reduce weight and increase payload.

Optional features

• CNrG® integrated CNG tailgate fuel delivery system (low-profile tailgate, multiple tank capacity for extended CNG operation).
• 8,000 lb Half/Pack arm cylinders for increased lift capacity.
• Rodent-resistant harness loom (fully encapsulated in woven loom to reduce downtime from chewed wires).
• Optional arm cylinders with hardened rod scrapers to minimize material ingestion and protect cylinder seals.
• Optional camera and Connected Collections telematics packages (factory-installed 3rd Eye Mobile, IRIS radar, multi-camera capability) for service verification, body/chassis data and route management.
• Optional CNrG and tailgate-locking systems for secure payload retention and in-cab tailgate operation.

Applications & Suitable Routes

• Residential collection where overhead obstructions or low-clearance areas are common.
• Mixed residential/commercial routes requiring front-loader productivity with improved low-clearance access.
• Fleets seeking increased payload capacity and reduced chassis maintenance costs.

Resources

• Introductory and testimonial videos, equipment demonstrations, and product brochures are available for fleet evaluation and training.
