The Half/Pack LowRider with Curotto-Can redefines what a residential front loader can do. Running 12 inches lower than a standard front loader and 1,600 lbs. lighter than a standard Half/Pack, the LowRider puts up to up to one ton of additional payload in the truck on every run. Paired with the Curotto-Can Automated Carry Can, you gain a proven 25% to 30% productivity advantage over automated side loaders.

Low height of an ASL – all the benefits of an AFL

LowRider low profile frontloader garbage truck height comparison

Lower height = Greater Access

LowRider AFLs are ideal for residential routes with overhead obstructions such as utility lines, established trees, etc., providing the lower body height of an ASL with the unmatched low Curotto-Can® dump height.

Increased productivity / Payload

LowRider comes standard with the Lightning Cylinder package, reducing dump cycle time by five seconds. The optimized weight body allows for greater payload and less chassis component wear (brakes, tires, etc.)

Why Fleets Choose the Half/Pak

Proven Strength & Performance
The Heil Half/Pack front loader is built for the most demanding collection environments. An interlaced subframe, double-walled hopper and fully-enclosed front head provide a rigid, durable foundation that protects chassis components from wastewater and holds up to heavy-duty refuse collection.
More Stops of Every Shift
The Half/Pack is designed to keep operators productive and routes on schedule, with fast arm and packer cycle times, efficient compaction and optional Lightning Cylinders that help fleets complete more stops per shift.
Lowest Cost of Collection
The Half/Pack is engineered to deliver real savings over the life of the truck, with Service Smart design that simplifies maintenance, protected hydraulic tube covers that reduce hose wear, and faster cycles that cut downtime, fuel use and labor costs.
Confidence You Can Rely On
Reliable sensor technology reduces frequent adjustments, while our clean front head relocates hydraulic valves for cooler operation and easier access. Shur-Lock tailgate locks, safe in-cab operation and integrated diagnostics deliver precise control and real-time visibility on demanding routes.
Durability
The Half/Pack is built to thrive in abrasive, corrosive environments, with raised packer tracks, zinc-plated hydraulic tubes, high-tensile steel construction and hardened rod scrapers that help extend service life and reduce downtime.
Designed to Fit Your Operation
The Half/Pack adapts to a wide range of residential and commercial applications, with multiple body sizes, weight-optimized configurations and compatibility with systems like The Curotto-Can® for flexible, durable performance.

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.

Heil universal common body

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.

Discover the benefits of an automated front loader

Speed

Fastest load time available, four to five seconds from wheel stop to wheel start.

Efficiency

20% greater fuel efficiency thanks to less packing and idling.

Maneuverability

Navigate cul-de-sacs and tight spaces up to 25% faster with a shorter wheelbase.

Savings

Eliminate cart loss and the costs that come with it.

Safety & Comfort

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.

Capacity

Hopper is 4 times larger than an ASL, capable of handling large bulk loads.

Uniformity

A uniformed front load fleet means fewer backup trucks and a more standardized inventory.

Contamination

Being able to see the load as it is dumped reduces contamination rates to less than 5%.

Clearance

Low 108 inch cart dump height keeps operation safe, well below typical wires, trees, and overhead obstructions.

Easy Conversion

Convert any commercial front loader into a residential collection unit in minutes.

Uptime

Less downtime. Swap out the can or remove it for commercial use, and the truck is back making money fast.

Bulk Loading

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.
