The Yardbird is used in a variety of light-duty applications, including landscaping, masonry, utilities and construction. Drop-sides are a popular choice for maximizing the vehicle's versatility. When equipped with optional drop-sides, the Yardbird can perform the functions of a dump truck or a flat-bed, making it just as easy to load and unload large plants or pallets of construction materials as it is to haul loads of loose gravel or mulch. Heil's new handles are standard on all Yardbird bodies with drop-sides.
