Front loader Half/Pack LowRider®

Overview
The Heil® Half/Pack® LowRider® is a low-profile front-load garbage truck body engineered for commercial and mixed residential routes where overhead obstructions restrict vehicle height. It combines a reduced working height with front-loader productivity and payload capacity, improving route access and fleet efficiency through simplified service features and advanced controls.

Key benefits

• Lower working height permits operation under utility lines and low tree limbs while maintaining low Curotto‑Can® dump height
• Optimized body weight increases payload and reduces chassis wear (brakes, tires, etc.)
• Lightning Cylinder package shortens dump cycle time (up to ~5 seconds saved per dump)
• Odyssey® Controls and optional H.A.L.O. semi‑autonomous operation reduce driver input and training time
• Service Smart design improves uptime and simplifies maintenance

Standard features

• Fully‑enclosed front head to limit wastewater and debris intrusion to chassis components
• Odyssey® hydraulic/electronic control system
• Lightning Cylinder package for faster cycles
• 7" In‑Sight integrated display with diagnostics and camera integration
• Zinc‑plated hydraulic tubes to reduce corrosion and leaks
• Illuminated push‑button controls and on‑board diagnostic tools
• Aluminum cab shield with rigid steel frame and aluminum top door for optimized weight

Optional features

• H.A.L.O. (Heil Autonomous Lift Option) single‑button / semi‑autonomous controls
• CNrG® integrated CNG tailgate for lower-profile CNG fuel delivery and multi‑tank capacity
• Rodent‑resistant wiring harness loom
• 8,000 lb Half/Pack arm cylinders for heavier commercial lift capacity
• 3rd Eye digital packages (fleet connectivity, camera integration, radar, telematics)
• Shur‑Lock in‑cab tailgate locks
• Optional hardened rod scrapers and arm cylinder protections

Applications & suitability
Engineered for residential and commercial collection routes that require reduced vehicle height and higher payload. Ideal for routes with low overhead obstructions, mixed commercial/residential stops, and fleets focused on improved productivity and reduced maintenance downtime.

Caractéristiques / spécifications techniques
