Fortress Improves Efficiency with Heil

Midlands based Fortress Recycling has recently added two more Heil Front End Loaders to its fleet to help improve efficiency and offer superb customer service.

The flexibility of the Heil FEL’s, and the ability to operate them single handedly gives Fortress the maximum operating efficiency and, therefore, the most cost effective waste collection system.

Fortress operates a fleet of 14 RCV’s from bases at Warwick and Lichfield, and now has three Heil FEL’s operating on commercial waste and recycling rounds throughout the Midlands. David Pass, Accountant at Fortress, believes that the Heil FEL’s are a great asset to the company’s operational services.

“The FEL’s are more cost effective, especially when it comes to light compactable waste, as they can move larger amounts of waste more easily” he said. “We find them a great tool and by combining them with the weighing devices we have fitted we can really keep a grip on our costs per lift”.

The Heil Front End Loader provides its operator with a robust and efficient vehicle. It has the ability to handle larger containers and with its live drive ‘pack on the move’ facility it achieves more pick ups per day and keeps efficiency high.
