unloading systems on trucks and trailers. Its products are used worldwide across a range of sectors, including transpor t, construction, mining, materials handling and environmental ser vices providers.
Waste handling solutions Hyva’s range of waste handling solutions includes static compactors, mobile compactors, refuse compactor/collection vehicles (in several body sizes), as well as specialist bin cleaning vehicles and underground bin systems. Mobile compactors are ver y popular due to their per formance and operator efficiency in urban environments. Hyva’s mobile compactors have reduced energy consumption, lower noise, no leakage, easier ser viceability, and generally lower operating and ser vice costs. “We are serious about recycling and keeping our towns and cities clean. Our advanced Mobile Compactor range offers a unique advantage over conventional rear-end loader refuse trucks, which saves costs and reduces environmental impact,” says Pearce Vorster, managing director, Hyva SA. And, these collection and compaction products can be complemented by other products from the Hyva por tfolio – such as hookloaders, skiploaders and cranes – as par t of a more comprehensive waste management solution. “As a Patron Member of the IWMSA, Hyva suppor ts improving waste management standards and legislation.
