Heil Refuse Truck Replacement Parts

Replacement parts for Heil refuse trucks — cylinders, body parts, hydraulics, and electrical components. Compatible with the full Heil lineup including Half/Pack, Rapid Rail, DuraPack, Python, Formula 7000, and other current and legacy Heil refuse body models.

What this page covers

Heil is one of the most common refuse body brands in North American commercial waste service. The Heil lineup covers front-load, rear-load, side-load, and automated side-load body designs, each with its own cylinder, body component, and electrical specs. PRT supports the full Heil range with OEM-equivalent replacement parts.

Heil cylinders divide into three application categories: FL (Front Load — for forklift-style commercial pickup), RL (Rear Load — for residential and small-commercial routes), and SL (Side Load — for automated and semi-automated side-loading routes). Body parts (separate from cylinders) include packer body components, tailgate hardware, and refuse-body structural parts.

How to choose

Identify the Heil model first (Half/Pack, Rapid Rail, DuraPack, Python, Formula 7000), then the specific failed component. The Heil OEM part number translates directly to a PRT replacement.

For older Heil refuse bodies with discontinued OEM parts, PRT can recommend current-production equivalents or fabricate custom replacements.
