We’re the waste disposal industry’s development partner for complex liquid waste disposal superstructures. And we’re also a service-focused company with a global presence!
What we do
As a strong partner at your side, we are capable of detailed technical solutions which ensure that your demanding waste disposal activities are entrusted to dependable, purpose-specific waste disposal vehicles. You tell us your requirements so that together we can discuss which technical solution best suits your needs. An analysis of your operational criteria and requirements will be the determining factor for the size and power of the required superstructure and chassis as well as the accessories. We will determine the chassis interfaces in line with the required assembly structure.
Technical concept and construction
Following order placement including the specification of your technical requirements and the appropriate choice of superstructure components, plus the specification of a suitable choice of chassis, our design/development department will undertake a fundamental check of all the technical data in order to produce a detailed solution that corresponds to your requirements.
Following acceptance by our technical department, you will receive the order confirmation along with a construction diagram and weight distribution assessment.
