THE CASE FOR COMMONALITY

Standardize Where It Counts.

Front loaders and automated side loaders often share a yard, but in the shop, they have always been two separate machines, with different parts, wiring, controls, and service procedures. The DuraPack Python, Half/Pack, and Sentien change that. Both are now built on one common body platform.

Only the hopper stays specialized, because that is where the two trucks do genuinely different work. Everywhere else, shared components, one simplified in-cab system, and major serviceability improvements mean few parts to stock, faster repairs, and operators who can move between trucks with ease.

Common Body Parts

Standardized parts simplify operations. A shared body design with 44% or more common components means fewer parts to stock, easier technician training, and reduced downtime across both front and side load fleets.

In-Cab Display

In-Cab Display

Simplified controls keep critical information in one place. The in-cab display provides real-time feedback, full body control, integrated 3rd Eye® camera feeds, and easier diagnostics away from hazards and weather.

Integrated Lights and Cameras

Integrated Cameras/Lights

Integrated 3rd Eye cameras come built into the body for better protection, less maintenance, and clearer visibility, all with fewer failures, less downtime, and improved safety, performance, and reliability in every environment.

Ease of Maintenance

Ease of Maintenance

Simplified maintenance improves serviceability. Better access, fewer required tools, centralized diagnostics, integrated 3rd Eye feeds, and relocated tailgate locks help technicians work faster and more efficiently.

Shur-Lock Tailgate

Shur-Lock Tailgate

Cleaner tailgate operation improves serviceability. Tailgate cylinders are positioned away from payload in the tailgate bolster, while touchscreen controls help prevent accidental movement during transit.
