Eaton power on demand provides retrofit for Heil Trucks
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton now offers a modified version of its hydraulic Power On Demand™ technology to provide a retrofit for front-loading Heil trucks. This solution is now available through the Heil network of 50 dealerships across North America. During WasteExpo from May 20-23, 2013, at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, Eaton will showcase the retrofit kit and demonstrate how its portfolio of hydraulic solutions give fleet owners and operators peace of mind by providing fuel savings, enhancing productivity and significantly reducing operating costs.
Testing for the retrofit kit was conducted at American Disposal, a Heil dealer, where a fuel extender kit was added to an existing Heil refuse truck. The truck’s fuel consumption was measured prior to the kit installation and showed an improvement of nearly three gallons per day savings.
“Heil consistently strives to offer customers the lowest total cost of ownership on its refuse collection vehicles.” said Todd Wood, operations manager of Parts Central at Environmental Solutions Group, the business system to which Heil belongs. “Eaton’s new retrofit kit helps customers who operate Heil front loaders save up to three gallons of diesel fuel per day per truck. This savings not only reduces the trucks overall operating costs but also the carbon footprint giving Heil trucks an added element of being environmentally-friendly.”
“Eaton is dedicated to assisting helping customers meet and exceed their goals,” said Phil Dybing, systems engineer for Eaton. ”The new retrofit kit will allow Heil to offer its customers not only fuel savings, but a reduction in carbon footprint thus setting them apart from other refuse truck manufacturers.”
