Half/Pack Sierra Automated Front Loader
The mid-weight residential waste collection machine with heavy-duty performance.
Less Weight.
More Payload.
Fastest Collection.
The Half/Pack Sierra with Curotto-Can delivers the best of both worlds. At just 18,277 lbs., the Sierra puts a half ton of additional payload in the truck on every run without pushing you over weight limits. Pair that with the fastest load time of any automated system on the market, a proven 25% to 30% productivity advantage over automated side loaders, and four to five seconds from wheel stop to wheel start, and you have a residential front loader built to collect more, more quickly, in more applications.

Why Fleets Choose the Half/Pak
Every Route. One Body.
Introducing the engineering innovations of the Heil universal FEL/ASL body.
OPERATOR EXPERIENCE
Designed with operators in mind. Driver-designed, ergonomic controls and simplified interface reduce cab clutter and cut in-cab buttons by 66%, delivering a consistent, intuitive experience.
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
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 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
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
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.
Discover the benefits of an automated front loader
Fastest load time available, four to five seconds from wheel stop to wheel start.
20% greater fuel efficiency thanks to less packing and idling.
Navigate cul-de-sacs and tight spaces up to 25% faster with a shorter wheelbase.
Eliminate cart loss and the costs that come with it.
Eyes-forward operation improves safety for operators and the public and reduces repetitive stress injuries, while less cab shake means no straining to monitor arm functions.
Hopper is 4 times larger than an ASL, capable of handling large bulk loads.
A uniformed front load fleet means fewer backup trucks and a more standardized inventory.
Being able to see the load as it is dumped reduces contamination rates to less than 5%.
Low 108 inch cart dump height keeps operation safe, well below typical wires, trees, and overhead obstructions.
Convert any commercial front loader into a residential collection unit in minutes.
Less downtime. Swap out the can or remove it for commercial use, and the truck is back making money fast.
Easy ground level access to the container makes bulk loading simple, eliminating the need for a chase truck.
The Proven Workhorse, Customizable for Your Specific Needs.
The Half/Pack is built to fit the job, not the other way around. With many available options, it can be configured to match the needs of your operation, including a 20-cubic-yard that shortens the wheelbase for improved maneuverability in urban environments, and may also qualify the vehicle for an FET exemption. Consult your tax adviser for details.

Smarter Connected Operations
Running a refuse fleet means managing a factory on wheels, and the disconnect between what’s happening on route and what you know back at the office has real costs.
Connected Collections, by Environmental Solutions companies Heil®, 3rd Eye®, Soft-Pak®, and Marathon® Equipment, seamlessly integrates equipment and data with smart AI-driven camera systems, brilliant technology, and back-office software into one fully connected platform.
Route data flows passively to the cloud, giving fleet owners real-time visibility into driver behavior, service verification, vehicle health, and productivity, without adding anything to the driver’s workload. Fleets can generate revenue, cut costs, and stay closer to their customers.
