Heil win five year maintenance contract

Heil Europe have recently supplied Runnymede Borough Council with eight new vehicles on a five year maintenance and servicing program.

Vehicles supplied by Heil include six new Powerlinks and two new narrow Powertrak units.
Roy Cooper comments; "A dedicated Heil service engineer is based at Runnymede operating from a purpose built facility that enables the engineer to carry out all types of service and repairs to the Runnymede fleet, which includes small vans. The dedicated engineer reduces repair times and keeps the fleet on the road to optimise efficiencies."

Roy continues; "A comprehensive stock of spares is kept at the Runnymede depot to ensure a 'first time' fix philosophy is always achieved."
To further improve the service that Heil gives to Runnymede, and that Runnymede give to their customers, a two way radio system has been fitted to all vehicles to enable the engineer to give exceptional response times to units out on route.

David Stedman DSO Manager at Runnymede comments; "The acquisition of a new refuse fleet with a five-year maintenance contract was a substantial investment by the council to provide a better and more efficient service for its residents. We are extremely pleased with the vehicles and how the new onsite maintenance arrangements are working."
The Powerlink, manufactured by Heil, provides flexibility to any RCV fleet. With its full-cycle compaction mechanism, it produces less friction than conventional channelled compaction systems thus ensuring that a greater force is directed into the load. The reduction of friction increases durability of materials, improving whole life costs.

Additionally a newly designed hydraulic system offers unique and unparalleled performance; reduced downtime; lower maintenance costs and less risk of environmental pollution. Heil offers a variety of options for body sizes on the Powerlink with cubic capacities of 16 to 26m“.

The Powertrak, a robust and hard working refuse collection vehicle, designed for higher performance levels and lower cost of ownership, sets the future standards of RCV design and performance. The Powertrak offers low maintenance, less downtime and all wear parts can easily be changed in situ without major dis-assembly. With a hopper capacity of 2.3m“ the Powertrak can handle bulk materials easily and its superior corrosion resistance extends service life and keeps your unit looking good for longer. The Powertrak is reliable and durable even in the most difficult environments.
