ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS GROUP (ESG) ANNOUNCES ADDITION OF DUALIFT ROLL-ON/ROLL-OFF HOISTS TO ITS PORTFOLIO OF MOBILE REFUSE EQUIPMENT
Chattanooga, TN. (January 4, 2011)—Environmental Solutions Group announced today it has acquired the DuaLift product line manufactured by Refuse Parts Inc. (RPI) in Iberia, OH.

The versatile DuaLift product line offers a unique solution for commercial waste haulers operating roll-off equipment. The acquisition includes the DuaLift, KwikLift, and LowLift designs manufactured by RPI. "The roll-off business has essentially not changed in the last 30 years," indicated Dick Williams, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for RPI. "RPI's product line offering addresses many of the age-old problems haulers encounter in the roll-off business daily."

The DuaLift product features a combination hook-cable lift solution with a patented telescopic cylinder design to load and unload containers. The lift offers advantages over conventional roll-offs for its versatility in hauling containers with the hook or cable attachment with a single chassis, in horizontal loading of pup trailers, and in emptying difficult-to-remove cardboard or frozen compactor loads. The KwikLift offers the same advantages as the DuaLift without the hook, delivering 50% faster load/unload cycles.

ESG has also acquired the patented LowLift product offering. "The beauty of the LowLift," says Williams, "is that it has the same advantages of the DuaLift product while enabling the loading and unloading of containers without raising the hoist. This makes the LowLift an ideal product where lift height is a concern, such as in height-restricted underground parking garages and apartment complexes. The unique collapsible tail on the LowLift offers a much more maneuverable unit than traditional extendable tail roll-offs."

Randy Brown, ESG's Vice President of Sales and Marketing commented, "This product offers a strong enhancement to the Heil portfolio of mobile refuse equipment and supports our strategy to offer our customers solutions that increase productivity and reduce their total cost of doing business."

Heil will leverage its dealer network to introduce this new differentiated technology to customers nationwide. Brown further commented, "We are very excited that the RPI executive management team-Dick Williams (Sales and Marketing), Mark Mikelait (Finance), and Charles Duell (Engineering and Innovation)-will be joining ESG, adding 70 years of collective refuse industry experience."

Environmental Solutions Group encompasses industry-leading companies—Heil Environmental, Marathon Equipment Company, and Bayne Premium Lift Systems—to create a premier, fully integrated equipment group serving the solid waste management industry. Through extensive voice-of-customer outreach, in-house engineering and manufacturing capabilities, a wide-reaching service network, and proven industry expertise, ESG is focused on solving customer problems through environmentally responsible products and providing world-class support.
