VDL Translift has a strong position as a designer and manufacturer of waste collection systems. The waste collection market is growing, driven by increasingly stringent requirements relating to efficiency and labour costs. When it comes to innovation in waste collection, the Netherlands is at the forefront. VDL Translift plays a significant role in this, with its own-developed side loaders, screw compactors and underground collection systems. With these systems, VDL Translift has a market share of almost 70% in the Netherlands. This proven technology provides a strong foundation for growing our export business. Other countries are less developed (more conservative) than the Dutch market; this offers opportunities to use our experience and expertise to increase our volumes.

Total Solution
VDL Translift’s logistics systems offer a complete solution for your collection or transport challenge. Whether it concerns household waste, commercial waste, mini-containers, bags, or underground and above-ground storage systems, we always have a suitable solution for the (automated or non-automated) collection and compaction of waste streams. You can opt for a phased implementation of the system, ensuring that your operations are prepared for future market developments and circumstances.

Technology
VDL Translift has its own engineering department, enabling us to manage the entire cycle from design to production in-house. This allows us to respond quickly to changes and ensures that your body is built at our factory under strict quality control. Our aftersales service ensures the continued operability and reliability of your side loader. Our field and office-based service teams, as well as our technical support helpdesk, are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. VDL Translift is certified in accordance with ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 for the development, design, production and servicing of container transport and waste collection systems.

Modular construction
A feature of the product development of VDL Translift systems is their modular design. The product’s key components are standardised. By using proven standard modules, the required configuration can be realised in a relatively short time. This flexible, modular design has been implemented in both the development and the production and assembly processes. As a result, VDL Translift can respond quickly and effectively to customer and market needs.

Screw compactor
With over 30 years of experience, VDL Translift is a specialist in manufacturing screw compactors, consisting of a hopper with two counter-rotating screws. The screw compactor is suitable for various fractions such as paper, plastic, organic waste and residual waste. This unique compaction unit is characterised by:

• Consistently high compacting force
• Rapid waste discharge
• Optimal compaction
• High fill level
• Minimal risk of windblown waste
• Clean disconnection between compactor unit and container.
