Heil Launches Half/Pack LowRider Front Loader
The LowRider front loader, a proud addition to the industry-leading Half/Pack family of Heil front-end loaders (FEL), represents a next-generation design perfectly suited for both commercial and residential applications. The LowRider is based on a lower-profile DuraPack® body that shaves weight and height when compared to a standard FEL. The LowRider is also smoother to operate, faster on route and can be equipped with next-generation Heil options to further increase safety and productivity, as well as reduce Total Cost of Collection. Specifically, the LowRider design can:
- Reduced body height of 12", similar to current Automated Side Loaders (ASL) or Rear Loaders,
- 4,150 pounds lighter than standard
Heil Half /Pack front loaders for better commercial and residential payloads, - Handle all ANSI-compliant dumpsters,
- Be more reliable with less proximity switches, mac valves, air lines or mechanically cushioned cylinders,
- When equipped with Curotto-Can® system, operators stay in the cab for both standard residential collection and take-all routes, providing additional operator security during COVID-19,
- Have a 23% faster dump cycle with Odyssey® hydraulic controls/Lightning Cylinders, and
- Be fully configurable with optional Heil Autonomous Lift Option (H.A.L.O.) joystick for commercial applications.
The LowRider's overall height is 12" lower than a standard front loader and weighs 4,150 pounds less than standard
"With H.A.L.O., Heil addressed another key ask from our customers and designed something that helps newer drivers become productive sooner. The H.A.L.O. option allows operators new to commercial front loaders to complete a full container dump cycle with the press of one button," said Evans. "This isn't AutoDump at all. H.A.L.O. allows the operator to select the size of the ANSI container, then merely press and hold the button on the joystick. H.A.L.O. self-levels the container during the dump sequence and delivers the container back to its starting position, removing the risk of cab or windshield damage."
The LowRider comes standard with Odyssey hydraulic controls and is available in 20, 23, and 28-yard body sizes. In addition, the LowRider can be configured for H.A.L.O., the Curotto-Can®, CNrG® alternative fuel tailgate and 3rd Eye® camera/digital system options.
