CHATTANOOGA, TN. (APRIL 1, 2014) – Heil, the leader in automated waste collection technology, today introduces Odyssey, a lighter, more efficient, purpose-built residential front loader refuse collection vehicle. Odyssey represents the next level for automated front loaders.
“Customer feedback is essential to our R&D and engineering, and many of the features on the Odyssey were developed or enhanced based on what we hear from operators,” said Jayson Thorp, Residential Product Group Manager with Heil.
Odyssey’s unique features truly set it apart from other automated front loader trucks. This purpose-built, dual-route residential and commercial AFL delivers a refined hydraulic and electronic control system, requiring less maintenance than previous systems. The innovative design eliminates 120 pounds over the front axle. A redesigned fork cradle significantly reduces side-to-side shake, and when used in Residential mode, the system prevents the can from reaching the cab and cab shield.
The Curotto-Can can be easily attached and removed to the front forks for exceptional versatility. The improved operator controls feature a singular multifunction joystick to control the Curotto-Can and AutoLift, as well as the InSight Diagnostic Display keeping the driver constantly aware of the vehicle’s status.
