Big Truck Rental Taps Heil as Nationwide Supplier of Refuse Fleet

Big Truck Rental , a Tampa, Fla.-based truck rental company serving the U.S. solid waste industry, has chosen Heil Environmental, based in Chattanooga, Tenn., as the single provider for its nationwide fleet of refuse rental equipment.

According to Big Truck, renting is an option for many haulers, especially municipalities, that allows the addition of new collection contracts or additional routes without the upfront investment of purchasing new equipment.

Furthermore, Big Truck notes, rental trucks can help haulers maintain productivity and service levels when fleet units are taken in for service. Rentals are also ideal for managing emergency storm cleanup, seasonal demands or other sudden situations where time is of the essence and expansion of service may be temporary, the company says.

Heil manufactures a range of refuse collection bodies. The company’s product line includes front loaders, rear loaders, side loaders, multi-compartment vehicles and equipment for roll-off containers. The company is a part of Environmental Solutions Group (ESG).

According to Randy Brown, vice president of sales and marketing for Heil’s Environmental Solutions Group, the rental market segment for refuse equipment is underserved and growing. “We are pleased and proud that Big Truck Rental has chosen Heil refuse collection vehicles for their rental offering. We work closely with our customers to engineer products that meet their specific needs. We are confident that our front loaders, rear loaders, automated side loaders, and roll-off units will deliver the productivity and performance that rental customers demand.”

“We are very excited about transitioning our fleet to Heil products,” says Robert Mecchi, Big Truck Rental’s vice president of business development. “The Heil brand is well-known and respected in the industry, and the company has built strong relationships within the public, private and municipal market segments. Because of that we will be able to leverage Heil’s extensive national dealer network to meet customer needs more quickly and efficiently than ever before.”
