Product Overview

The Python lift arm has an eight-second lift cycle that can save up to four seconds per stop, and up to one hour per day when compared to the competition. The DuraPack bodies’ follower panel enables continuous dumping during the pack cycle to prevent the operator from having to wait on the packer panel to finish the pack cycle before dumping another cart. The twin-packing cylinders also deliver outstanding payloads and 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 consistently return carts with the lids closed.

The DuraPack Python features the Heil® DuraPack 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.
