Latching closed the optional drop-sides of a Heil Yardbird™ light-duty dump body is now as easy as shutting a pick-up truck tailgate. The Heil Environmental Truck Equipment Group has developed patent-pending handles for the Yardbird sides that enable operators to easily close and latch them in a single motion. 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.
