DuraPack® Python® Automated Side Load Garbage Trucks

The DuraPack Python automated side loader garbage truck combines two proven products in one high-performance package. The DuraPack body, which is famous for its toughness and productivity, and the patented Python automated arm, which is faster, smoother, and longer-lasting than any other.

The Python lift arm has an eight-second lift cycle. That can save you up to four seconds per stop, and up one hour per day, delivering a fiscal savings of more than $15,000 per truck every year! You don’t have to wait for the hopper to catch up with a load, either, because the follower panel enables continuous dumping. Twin packing cylinders deliver outstanding payloads, so you can collect more homes with fewer trips to the disposal site.

Able to lift up to 800 pounds, the Python lift arm features cushioned cylinders for action that’s as smooth as a snake, saving wear and tear on the lift arm and the chassis. The unique Python lift geometry also prevents spillage and enables the arm to return carts with the lids closed every time.

The DuraPack Python features the Heil® DuraPack sideload body, which includes a fully welded, interlaced subframe. With formed channels for extra strength, high tensile strength steel to maximize performance at a minimum weight, and full welding for superior resistance to corrosion and cracking, the DuraPack Python is a sturdy package with the stamina to absorb years of tough hauling.

Incorporating a high cylinder mount into a compact design with a short overhang creates outstanding weight distribution and reduced wear on rearward chassis components. This maximizes forward loading of both the body and the payload.
