DuraPack® Python® Automated side loader Standard Features

Our exclusive, fully welded, interlaced subframe provides exceptional longevity, while resisting abrasion, corrosion, and salt damage. The body is constructed of 7-8 ga. high tensile strength steel, while the hopper features 1⁄4″ thick AR400 steel on the floor, and 3⁄16″ thick AR400 steel on the sides for superior strength and durability.

Made from specially formulated high-strength alloy steel, the Python lift arm’s superior hardened grabber gears virtually eliminate gear wear. The gears are splined to the grabber shafts and can be cycled up to 1,000,000 times with little evidence of wear.

Reliable, ergonomic joystick controls deliver smoother performance and enhanced usability. With the Auto-Lift system, the operator can reach, grab, lift, dump, and return the arm to the stowed position using only the joystick and 2 buttons.

With one of the fastest lift-cycle times in the refuse industry, the DuraPack Python will save time on route that can equate to fiscal savings of more than $15,000 per truck every year! The Python lift arm’s nine-foot reach can slither between cars and other obstacles, making even the most difficult pick-ups possible.

The DuraPack Python is brilliantly designed to have an optimized weight, without sacrificing strength and durability. The result is a perfect combination of dependability and increased payload. Greater route productivity delivers the lowest Total Cost of Collection (TCC).

High tensile strength steel withstands the exceptional forces of the compaction cycle, ensuring maximum payloads, and fewer trips to the disposal site.

The patented automated Python arm can reach up to nine feet to go where other automated arms cannot. Able to lift up to up to 800 pounds, the Python arm features cushioned cylinders for smooth action, saving wear and tear on both the lift arm and the chassis. The Python arm’s unique lift geometry enables the arm to consistently return carts with the lids closed.

Quickly and easily diagnose problems away from outside hazards and weather. On-board diagnostic tools make troubleshooting a breeze.

The DuraPack Python tailgate is reinforced to prevent buckling and features a 60″ seal to keep liquids inside the body where they belong.

The Heil in-cab operated tailgate locking system not only keeps payloads secure but also enables the operator to unlock and open the tailgate to discharge the payload from the safety and comfort of the cab. Reflective indicator tags, visible from the cab’s mirrors, confirm when the tailgate is sealed.

The “brain” of our system is the rugged mobile controller. This brilliant innovation provides unbeatable intelligence and precise control. Placing the mobile controller in a protected location gives us the intelligence we need and the durability our customers demand. This results in less downtime, ease of service, and unmatched simplicity of operation.

The Heil DuraMount Design, used to mount the lift to the chassis frame, reduces the potential for bolt fatigue, and provides Service Smart bolt access for easy maintenance.
