AHyva Southern Africa (Hyva SA) has the support of a parent company that was established more than 40 years ago in the Netherlands and is now a successful international business supplying hydraulicsbased solutions in waste management, tipping, container handling and cranes.

The Hyva Group encompasses more than 30 fully owned subsidiaries globally, with extraordinary sales and service coverage and a manufacturing base that includes 14 production facilities across Brazil, China, India and Europe.

The company is committed to the development, production, marketing and distribution of solutions used in hydraulic loading and unloading systems on trucks and trailers. Its products are used worldwide across a range of sectors, including transport, construction, mining, materials handling and environmental services 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 very popular due to their performance and operator efficiency in urban environments. Hyva’s mobile compactors have reduced energy consumption, lower noise, no leakage, easier serviceability, and generally lower operating and service 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 portfolio – such as hookloaders, skiploaders and cranes – as part of a more comprehensive waste management solution.

“As a Patron Member of the IWMSA, Hyva supports improving waste management standards and legislation. Compliance with standards is particularly important in the environmental sector. And that’s where our experience counts. With an extensive track record in the global waste, scrap and recycling industry, we know how to design and build solutions that meet the strict requirements of the environmental service industry,” explains Vorster.

Tender success

Typical of Hyva’s impact in the waste handling sector in Southern Africa is its successful threeyear tender to supply compactors for waste collection services in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal. The first batch of 29 Usimeca ribbed body 12 m3 compactors – installed on Fuso FJ16-230 trucks and customised with bin lifters – was delivered and handed over in late 2021.

“Hyva SA is a powerhouse in sales and technical support, offering a ‘one-stop shop’ to our customers – a cost-effective range of products, services and after-sales support, tailored to meet specific customer needs. Some local assembly and component manufacturing, together with Hyva’s expertise in application engineering, deliver the most efficient product solutions,” says Vorster. The company is very proud to be part of the unique platform the IWMSA offers, which includes waste experts from all over the world. “We look forward to connecting, sharing our experience and building more relationships with other IWMSA Members,” Vorster concludes.
