What Makes The Heil Half/Pack Front Load Garbage Trucks So Legendary?

[@CoolHandMacc]

I must say, the Odyssey has got to be the best Commercial front loader that I have personally operated so far.

ThaThunderStorm I’ve only operated mcneilus, new way, and e pack front loader. I’ve always wanted to run a heil. My supervisor they make the best trash bodies. Maybe some day 🤥

Hmmm

My dad drives a brand new heil. He’s always had good things to say. He hates driving the spare truck because it’s a McNeilus lol

I’m so Sorry Heil the best front Loader ever built was the Maxon front Loader 1978-79 . In a time when regulations where not in place we picked up everything and the Maxon Body with the Stand up packer Cylinders and the lift Hoist to unload the truck. And it’s not the legal one body no .

A question if those tanks are in the rear door what happens if your packing the load and something goes through the rear door right in to those tanks . I say this because a few times I’ve put something through the rear door.

Heil may build a good FL but every Heil ASL leaves much to be desired

[@abelpadilla7789]

I’m sorry Heil but you can’t build maybe Rear loaders but front loader’s no . The steel you use I’ve seen arms cracks even the Hydraulic cylinders they use Packing half a load one of the packer cylinders actually bent I couldn’t believe it. And again the arm broke also the fork cylinders same thing . In my 30 plus years in the industry I never saw repeatedly the body of these trucks were not durable. If you want to get a quality body I’ll give you a few names number one is the Bemars front loader the Western Body n hoist front loader and when Maxon came in the body’s got even stronger and better and of course Bowl body’s all out of So Cal and can’t leave out the original Amrep Octo body which is Edge body’s but Amrep came out with there body still amazing equipment. So Heil you couldn’t give me a body to mount on a truck.
