Heil Environmental, Chattanooga, Tenn., has announced the launch of its new DuraPack 4060 Split-Body Rear Loader, an enhancement to its offering of multi-compartment refuse and recycling collection vehicles.
The DuraPack 4060 has been designed for customers manually collecting multiple commodities on a single route. It has the compaction power to handle bulky ferrous waste and the sealing ability to handle wet waste like organics or food scraps. Additionally, by outfitting the vehicle with single or dual Bayne premium mobile lifters, owners can reduce the stress and strain on personnel manually loading the vehicle.
According to a Heil release, the vehicle is the next generation of the company’s Formula 4060 Split-Body Rear Loaders. With a 40/60 two-compartment body, the DuraPack 4060 features independent hydraulic systems that enable the pressure to be adjusted for each compartment based on the items being collected.
“The DuraPack 4060 was developed to address a significant market trend associated with separation of refuse commodities,” says Nate Davis, Heil product manager. “Over the last several years, many of our customers have expanded their residential collection operations to collect multiple commodities, but they have been trying to do this with their single-commodity refuse trucks. The DuraPack 4060 is the ideal truck to improve route efficiencies because it eliminates the need to send several trucks along the same route, cutting fuel, labor and maintenance costs.”
The DuraPack 4060 Split-Body is available in both a 20- and 25-cubic yard body size. It has a compaction rate of up to 750 pounds per cubic yard, with a 9-10 second reload time, and an overall packing cycle time of 15-17 seconds. Additionally, the DuraPack 4060 comes standard with fully sealed electrical controls for operating both tailgates from either side. It is available with a range of options to accommodate specific customer applications.
