Replacement Heil Front Load (FL) cylinders for commercial route refuse trucks — packer body cylinders, tailgate cylinders, and fork lift cylinders for Heil front-loading refuse bodies. OEM-equivalent specs for Heil Half/Pack and DuraPack FL configurations.
Heil Front Load trucks pick up commercial dumpsters with forks on the front of the truck — the truck approaches the dumpster head-on, the forks slide into the dumpster's fork pockets, and a lift cylinder rotates the dumpster up and over the truck to dump into the hopper. FL cylinders handle this full lift-and-dump cycle plus the packer body compaction.
PRT stocks the most-replaced Heil FL cylinder configurations: packer body cylinders, tailgate cylinders, and fork lift cylinders.
