Renault Lander collects refuse contract for Transwaste

Waste management services company, Transwaste Recycling and Aggregates Limited, has taken delivery of its first Renault Lander 310.26 6x2 rear steer rigid with Farid TS1 refuse collection body and rear-end loader. The new Lander, supplied by Renault Trucks
dealer, Thompson Commercials Hull, joins Transwaste’s industrial waste collection operation, and takes the number of Renault Trucks in the previously Mercedes-Benz dominated fleet to sixteen.  

Working a 35-mile radius from the company’s headquarters in Melton, Hull, the Lander makes up to 200 daily collections of bins sized between 240-1,100 litres and transports the refuse back to Transwaste’s transfer station for sorting where over 90 per cent is successfully recycled. The vehicle is fitted with VWS Enviroweigh, a dynamic automated bin identification and weighing system to record customer refuse collections.

Commenting on the decision to specify the Renault Lander with day cab for an intensive multiple collection operation rather than a traditional low entry cab, Paul Cutsforth of Transwaste says, “Initially our driver did express a few concerns about cab access, but now it is on the road he loves the Lander and the truck is doing a great job. We’re an environmentally-focused business so the Renault Lander’s Euro-5 technology and green credentials were important factors."

"Thompson Commercials provided a competitive package and we can trust them to deliver the levels of service support our business needs.”
