Heil acquired North American rights to this trackless design in 1979, and it replaced the Mark V for that market. Model shown is from a 1989 ad, and it is currently still in production as the Formula 5000 DuraPack with a curved body shell. It is also sold as a hybrid called Python Multipack combining a F5000DP with an automated sideloader. European rights were sold to Edelhoff in West Germany. Edelhoff RCV designs were acquired by FAUN in 1989, the firm currently building it as the Powerpress. It remains one of the best selling heavy refuse trucks worldwide.
