Bandvulc and Viridor
in New Three-Year Deal
Bandvulc and Viridor have signed a new three year contract which will see Bandvulc take control of the Viridor fleet across the South West region from Cornwall, Wales, up to and including West Sussex until March 2018, with circa 300 vehicles including Trade Waste collection,
the South West. His remit is to assist with compliance. However, the high level of experience the casing inspector has is expected to enable Bandvulc to provide valuable feedback on ‘in service’ tyre condition.
As part of the new contract, Bandvulc will also be
introducing a number of tyre trials to help Viridor make further improvements to their fleet, including trialing a number of tyre pressure monitoring systems to assist drivers with their daily checks. This is
seen as a major benefit to Viridor as operating in the waste management sector means that tyres will inevitably get damaged and have a high exposure to punctures.
Bandvulc’s nominated service providers will fit tyres selected from the Bandvulc range and will have tailored pattern selection according to the various applications required by the vehicle. By selecting a different steer pattern tyre for the trade waste vehicles, Bandvulc says it has seen tyre life extended by more than 30%.
Bulk Waste Transfer, Wet Waste.
Phil West, Bandvulc Director, said “We are delighted to extend our tyre agreement with Viridor, a strong local company at a time when their business is going through transition from Landfill towards transfer, recovery and further recycling operations.”
The contract extension included new added value features including the introduction of Bandvulc’s own fleet inspector, who is a highly experienced casing inspector, and who will now regularly visit Viridor sites throughout
