Hyva’s new Automatic Skiploader Sheeting System is proving to be a success with a large number of Waste Management Companies around the UK.
The system allows drivers to fully sheet a bin in under a minute ensuring they no longer have to get on the back of the vehicle at any time. The speed of the sheet also means an increase in productivity as time spent sheeting and unsheeting skips is reduced dramatically.
Companies such as Viridor Waste Management, Grundons and the Shorts Group have ordered new Skiploaders fitted with the System as they all feel Health and Safety is a top priority for them.
The system is hydraulically operated as oil is diverted with a lever control from the skiploader hydraulics. This allows for much greater control, speed and reliability than traditional air and electric systems. In addition the arm configuration means the system doesn’t increase the overall width of the vehicle which may cause access problems for drivers.
The sheeting system can also be retrofitted to all makes and models of skiploaders allowing entire fleets to standardise with the Hyva system.
The Skip Auto sheeting system was initially developed in close conjunction with the Ascot-based Shorts Group.
“We wanted to develop the Hyva sheeting system because we saw it as an all round winner. It offers increased productivity, increased safety and ease for the drivers. In our experience it is clearly successful in these areas” says Managing Director Gary Short.
He has been impressed with their driver’s response and the ease of use compared to other air and electric systems they have tried previously.
