dieselelectricwith compactor

Overview
The Heil PT1000 is a single-axle rear-load garbage truck engineered for fast cycle times, optimized payload and a high-capacity hopper while remaining cost-efficient. For nearly 20 years the PT1000 has combined optimized weight, high-tensile steel body construction and high-pressure hydraulics to deliver consistent refuse-collection performance.

Key product highlights

• Single-axle rear loader designed to provide class-leading cycle times.
• Large 3.0 cubic yard high-capacity hopper suitable for mid-size rear-loader routes and occasional commercial pickups.
• Approximately 15-second cycle time with reload time < 6 seconds for efficient route operation.
• High packing forces using Heil track design and system pressure up to 2,750 psi for superior compaction.
• One-piece body sidewall formed from single-sheet, high-tensile steel for corrosion resistance, easier washing/maintenance and smooth signage surfaces.

Optional packages and accessories

• 3rd Eye digital packages (mobile unit, radar system and support for up to six cameras) for fleet connectivity, service verification, body/chassis data and route management.
• Bayne Thinline premium cart tippers (single or dual mobile lifters) to improve route efficiency and reduce operator strain.
• Roof or front-of-body CNG system option to support CNG refuse fleets while maintaining diesel-like productivity.
• 3rd Eye collision avoidance radar available as an add-on to improve operator and pedestrian safety.
• Verif-Eye service verification module for rear loaders to confirm stop/service activity and reduce disputes on hand-thrown routes.

Design & serviceability

• Optimized body weight to improve payload density (up to 800 lbs per cubic yard) while preserving durability.
• Service Smart design with accessible UHMW wear parts and a side service door for simplified routine maintenance.
• Body-mounted power distribution electrical control box for easier wiring diagnostics and reduced cab integration work.
• Superior three-micron hydraulic filtration to keep hydraulic oil cleaner and extend component life.
• One-handed manual packing controls on the tailgate for stop/start/reverse during the packing cycle.

Applications
The PT1000 is suited for residential and commercial collection where a mid-size rear loader with fast cycle times, high hopper capacity and optional automation/connectivity packages are required. Except for the 25 cubic-yard body, other sizes can be configured as single-axle models and may be Federal Excise Tax (FET) exempt.
