- Shorter wheelbases allow navigation through cul-de-sacs up to 25% faster
- Eliminate cart loss and associated costs.
- Eyes-forward operation enhances operator and public safety as well as reduces the risk of repetitive stress injuries.
- Reduce contamination rates to less than 5%.
- Having a uniformed front load fleet, requires fewer spare trucks and helps standardize your inventory.
- Low 108″ cart dump height for safer operation — well below typical wires, trees and other overhead obstructions.

Half/Pack® Automated Front Loader Standard Features
The interlaced subframe provides exceptional strength and durability, which means your Half/Pack front loader will enjoy a long lifespan and excellent resale value.
High tensile strength steel withstands the exceptional forces of the compaction cycle and ensures maximum payloads. Our exclusive double-wall hopper reduces corrosion, which increases long-term durability.
The scrapers help to minimize ingestion of material, such as paint, melted plastic, and leachate into the hydraulic system. This reduces the chance of objects entering the cylinder seal and causing damage.
Use of zinc-plated hydraulic tubes reduces hydraulic leak-causing corrosion, lessening the frequency with which components need to be replaced over the life of the body. This reduces maintenance and downtime costs.
Durable covers protect tubes and hoses from damage, resulting in less maintenance.
Elevated packer and eject tracks keeps them from operating in abrasive debris or corrosive leachate. Heavy-duty wear strips are a standard feature.
Standard backup assist lights mounted on the body help to illuminate your surroundings while in reverse.
Easy to read and understand touch button body, packer, pump and lighting controls with indicator lights come standard.
The Heil in-cab operated tailgate locking system not only keeps payloads secure but also enables the operator to unlock and open the tailgate and discharge the payload from the safety of the cab. In-cab, on display notifications confirm when the tailgate is sealed.
Standard 7″ In-Sight™ display provides real-time feedback, as well as optimal operator control. The operator can look to one place for all needed body information. Also, the In-Sight display offers maintenance personnel the ability to quickly and easily diagnose problems away from outside hazards and weather. 3rd Eye® Camera feeds are also integrated into the display, thus eliminating the need for a separate camera monitor, freeing up line of sight and cab space.
The Half/Pack features our Service Smart design, which simplifies routine maintenance and helps keep your asset out of the shop and on route – servicing your customers.
Our exclusive “clean front head” relocates the hydraulic body valve from the front head to under the side of the body. This design reduces the influence of engine heat on the hydraulic components, as well as improving access to the valve bodies. This also means improved safety and reliability, all while reducing downtime.
The use of tamper-proof in-cylinder and arc sensors seamlessly gauge component locations for effortless control. This eliminates proximity switches that previously required frequent adjustment and maintenance, resulting in less downtime and maintenance costs.
