Waste and Environmental Services

Waste and environmental fleets run the most punishing duty cycle in commercial transport. Bodies cycle constantly, corrosion from load contact is continuous, and structural fatigue at mounting and hinge points is the defining maintenance issue.

Overview

Working with waste and environmental services fleets

Who this is for: Waste operations fleet manager running refuse, roll-off and environmental service vehicles.

Refuse bodies cycle thousands of times a year under load, and that fatigue concentrates at hinge points, cylinder mounts, and the body-to-frame interface. Cracks there are progressive, and they are exactly what a scheduled structural inspection catches.

Corrosion works from the inside on these vehicles because the load is wet, acidic, and in constant contact with the body. Coating the interior surfaces is far cheaper than replacing them.

These are also highly visible vehicles operating on residential streets every week. Appearance is part of the service contract whether or not it is written into it.

Pressure Points

What actually makes this hard

  • Body cycling puts continuous fatigue into mounts and hinges
  • Load contact corrodes bodies from the inside
  • A body failure takes the unit out of service immediately
  • Route schedules leave no slack for unplanned downtime
  • Public-facing vehicles reflect on the service contract
