Heil expands responsibilities of dealer in Northeast

Chattanooga, Tennessee-based Heil has added New Hampshire and Vermont to the Heil dealership territory of Sutton, Massachusetts-based Environmental Equipment Sales & Service LLC (EESS). EESS will add the two New England states to its territory effective Jan. 1, 2018.

“We’re very excited to see Dan Cowher and his team step up to the plate and expand their sphere of influence in the Northeast,” says Pat Carroll, president of Heil. “Dan’s long history in the refuse industry allows him to understand the demands of the equipment, and the services needed, in a way that resonates with refuse haulers. We’re excited to have him representing our products.”

EESS is owned and operated by Cowher, a Navy veteran with previous experience in management roles with several major national haulers. EESS is a dealer for all Heil product families, including OEM parts and service, and has two service bays. In addition, EESS is equipped to make emergency roadside calls with a service vehicle that includes a crane, compressor, welder and the ability to make hydraulic hoses on-site.

“We’re very proud to be able to extend our reach to Vermont and New Hampshire,” says Cowher. “I’ve understood the importance of maintenance and uptime since I was a 13-year-old kid, so when it comes to garbage trucks, if they aren’t packing, they aren’t making money. At EESS, my job is to ensure that we keep our customers’ trucks up and running.”

EESS is one of 39 Heil dealers with 59 separate locations in the United States and Canada.

Heil, established in 1901, offers automated waste collection technology and what it calls a broad product line, including front loaders, rear loaders, side loaders, multicompartment vehicles and roll-off hoists, to the waste and recycling market. Heil is part of the Environmental Solutions Group, also based in Chattanooga.
