Heil Rear Load Cylinders
Replacement Heil Rear Load (RL) cylinders for residential route refuse trucks — packer body cylinders, tailgate cylinders, and lift cylinders for Heil rear-loading refuse bodies. OEM-equivalent specs for Rapid Rail, DuraPack RL, and other Heil RL configurations.
What this page covers
Heil Rear Load trucks handle residential and small-commercial routes — manual loading from rear-mounted hoppers, with occasional cart-tipper assists. RL cylinders cycle frequently (every container at every stop) but at lighter loads than FL packer body cylinders. The result is a different wear pattern: more cycles, lower peak load per cycle.
PRT stocks the most-replaced Heil RL cylinder configurations across the Heil Rapid Rail, DuraPack RL, and other rear-load models.
How to choose
Identify by Heil RL truck model, cylinder application (packer, tailgate, cart-tipper), and OEM part number.
RL packer cylinders see high cycle counts — typical residential routes do 300-500 packer cycles per shift. Plan replacement intervals accordingly.
Heil RL cylinder applications
- RL packer body cylindersMain compaction cylinders for Rear Load Heil bodies.
- RL tailgate cylindersOpen and close the rear tailgate.
- RL cart-tipper cylindersFor cart-tipper-equipped rear-load trucks.
- RL accessory cylindersSweep and packing-plate cylinders.
- Cylinder rebuild kitsSeal kits for RL cylinder rebuild.
Frequently asked questions
What Heil RL models does PRT supply cylinders for?
The full Heil RL lineup including Rapid Rail, DuraPack RL, and other rear-load models. Provide the truck model for confirmation.
How long do Heil RL packer cylinders last?
75,000-100,000 cycles in residential service — higher than FL because the per-cycle load is lower. Heavy commercial RL routes see shorter life.
Are Heil RL cylinders interchangeable with Heil FL cylinders?
No. Different bore, stroke, and pressure rating. Use the application-specific cylinder for your truck.
Can I rebuild Heil RL cylinders to save cost?
Yes. RL cylinders rebuild well when the rod chrome and bore are intact. PRT seal kits include all the seal components needed.
