OverviewThe PowerTrak® Commercial rear loader is a refuse collection body designed for commercial and mixed-use routes, engineered for bulk, construction and standard commercial wastes with emphasis on packing efficiency, rapid cycle performance and serviceability.
Key Features- Patented dual-track packing system that separates the top cylinder track from the sweep/pack track to reduce angle of resistance, lower friction and extend slide shoe life.
- Compaction capability advertised up to 1,200 pounds per cubic yard.
- Fast cycle performance: cycle times as low as 21 seconds and reload times approximately 7–9 seconds.
- Large hopper volumes noted on product literature (3.64 cubic yards; 3.34 cubic yards referenced in PLUS package context).
- Body construction using 7–8 ga. high-tensile steels and AR400 abrasion-resistant materials in high-wear zones.
- Optional PowerTrak Commercial PLUS package: tag axle and optional fifth pusher axle to maximize legal payloads while maintaining structural design to minimize discharge stress.
- In-Sight Display: integrated in-cab display for diagnostics, two-way communications, body control, hydraulic detent adjustments and full ejection sequencing without external PDC box.
- Connected Collections readiness with factory options for 3rd Eye Mobile, Radar, camera connectivity and optional Verif-Eye service verification module.
- Optional Bayne Thinline cart tippers available in single or dual lifter configurations.
Design & MaintenanceDual-track slide shoe architecture using aluminum/bronze alloy shoes; fully welded interlaced subframe for structural integrity; hydraulic tubing routed inside rear bolsters for protection and accessibility; reversible cast alloy ejector shoes; 3-micron hydraulic filtration for extended component life versus typical 10-micron systems.
Optional Packages & Capabilities- PowerTrak Commercial PLUS: tag axle and optional fifth pusher axle to increase legal payload capacity while preserving body volume and controlling axle/tailgate stress during discharge.
- Commercial capabilities: reeving systems, winch, roll bar, lip and latch kits for commercial containers.
- Connected/telemetry options: factory-installed connectivity for fleet data, service verification, body/chassis diagnostics, fuel tax reporting and support for up to six cameras.
ApplicationsDesigned primarily for commercial collection; commonly deployed on mixed commercial and residential routes and for bulk/construction refuse where higher compaction and fast cycle rates improve route productivity.
