New Life and a Bright Future A twenty-five yard Goliath rides atop a Mack MR cabover In July of 2006, the remains of E-Z Pack were purchased from Clean Earth by E-Z Pack Holdings LLC, a subsidiary of Republic Financial Corporation. Production has since resumed at Cynthiana, Kentucky, and includes the Goliath and Apollo rear loaders and Hercules front loader. A dedicated residential front loader is also offered, featuring smaller lift cylinders for faster dump cycle times. Most recently, a new automated side loader has recently debuted. Based on the Hercules series, the new ASL shares many components with its cousin, simplifying parts stocking for larger fleets. A generous hopper of six cubic yards increases productivity, and compaction densities up to 1000 pounds per cubic yard insure maximum payloads. Additionally, the firm has developed and patented a fuel-saving hydraulic system that compensates for fluctuating flow demands. E-Z Pack also builds their own Gladiator hydraulic pack/eject cylinders, which are available as after-market replacements for other brands of refuse packer bodies. With solid financial backing, a balanced product line and a team of experienced industry professionals on board, E-Z Pack is on firm ground again. There is no doubt that the re-born company is on track for the future, and will undoubtedly continue to carry on the tradition of innovation going back over a half-century, to where it all began with the Hydro E-Z Pack.
