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.
Key Features
Double-Walled Hopper
High tensile strength steel withstands the exceptional forces of the compaction cycle, ensuring maximum payloads. Our exclusive double-wall hopper reduces corrosion, which increases long-term durability.
SOLID FOUNDATION
Our exclusive fully welded interlaced sub-frame provides exceptional strength and durability, while resisting corrosion and salt damage. This means your DuraPack Python will enjoy a long lifespan.
SERVICE SMART DESIGN
Our Service Smart design simplifies routine maintenance, and keeps you away from the shop, out servicing your customers – and making money. Features include a new soft-shift valve, proximity switches, and a cable carrier that houses all the Python lift arm’s hydraulic hoses.
EXCEPTIONAL REACH AND LIFT
The patented automated Python arm can reach up to nine feet to go where other automated arms cannot. Able to lift up to up to 800 pounds, the Python arm features cushioned cylinders for smooth action, saving wear and tear on both the lift arm and the chassis. The Python arm’s unique lift geometry enables the arm to return carts with the lids closed every time.
ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS
Quickly and easily diagnose problems away from outside hazards and weather. On-board diagnostic tools make troubleshooting a breeze.
TOUGH TAILGATE
The DuraPack Python tailgate is reinforced to prevent buckling and features a 60-inch seal to keep liquids inside the body where they belong.
SHUR-LOCK TAILGATE
The Heil® in-cab operated tailgate locking system not only keeps payloads secure but also enables the operator to unlock and open the tailgate to discharge the payload from the safety and comfort of the cab. Reflective indicator tags, visible from the cab’s mirrors, confirm when the tailgate is sealed.
REMOTE Controller with In-Sight Display
The “brain” of our system is the rugged mobile controller. This brilliant innovation provides unbeatable intelligence and precise control. Placing the mobile controller in a protected location gives us the intelligence we need and the durability our customers demand. Less downtime, ease of service and unmatched ease of operation.
What Sets The DuraPack® 5000 Side Loader Apart
DURAMOUNT DESIGN
The Heil DuraMount Design, used to mount the lift to the chassis frame, reduces the potential for bolt fatigue, and provides Service Smart bolt access for easy maintenance.
JOYSTICK CAB CONTROLS
Reliable, ergonomic joystick controls deliver smoother performance and enhanced usability. With the AutoLoad system, the operator can reach, grab, lift, dump, and return the arm to the stowed position using only the joystick and 2 buttons.
PYTHON® GRABBER GEARS
Made from specially formulated high-strength alloy steel, the Python lift arm’s superior hardened grabber gears virtually eliminate gear wear. The gears are splined to the grabber shafts and can be cycled up to 1,000,000 times with no evidence of wear.
PYTHON® AUTOMATED LIFT
Eight-second lift cycle can save up to four seconds per stop - up to one hour per day. This can add up to more than $15,000 in savings per truck, per year! The Python lift arm’s nine-foot reach can slither between cars and other obstacles, making even the most difficult pick-ups possible.
