Heil® PowerTrak® Commercial Rear Loader Refuse Body

The heart of the PowerTrak Commercial design is the patented dual-track packing system. Other rear loaders move shoes or rollers along a single-track during sweep and pack cycles. This requires the top cylinder to operate at a sharp angle of resistance, causing intense friction that robs power and speed, and increases wear. The PowerTrak Commercial’s revolutionary dual-track system gives the top cylinder its own track, significantly reducing the angle of resistance. This reduces friction and improves efficiency because more pressure is applied directly to the refuse. This results in an incredibly long life from the aluminum/bronze alloy slide shoes.

For areas with stringent weight restrictions, the optional PowerTrak Commercial PLUS package transforms this refuse collection vehicle into an even more powerful machine. The PowerTrak Commercial PLUS features a tag axle and optional 5th pusher axle that enables you to maximize productivity even further by carrying the largest legal loads — up to 1,200 lbs. per cubic yard. The Heil patented design mounts the tag axle to the chassis frame rail, making it more structurally sound than models with the tag axle integrated into the tailgate. This design also makes it possible to maintain massive volume within its 3.34 cubic-yard hopper. When the tailgate is raised, all the wheels stay down, minimizing stress on the axle, tailgate, and hydraulics. The integrated steel guard with rubber deflector protects the PowerTrak Commercial PLUS tag axle during a load discharge at your disposal site. When not in use, operators can adjust both the front and tag axle loads and also lift them.
