More Waste Less Wastage
Benefits of B-Double High Volume Side Tippers:
- 20% reduction in fuel usage when compared to our single trailer vehicles
- Lower carbon emissions due to fewer trips being made
- Greater efficiency with improved turnaround times for unloading from 25 minutes down to eight minutes
- Capable of hauling 38 tonnes in one load, which is a 55% increase on single trailer vehicles
In Australia, the transport sector represents 13.5 per cent of the country’s total carbon emissions. As a large transport user, Thiess Services is continually looking for ways to reduce its carbon footprint with our Waste Management business introducing innovative new side-tipping trailers that stand to deliver significant environmental benefits.
For more than two years, the team has worked to develop a B-Double High Volume Side Tipper that carries 40 per cent more waste in a single load than a traditional walking floor trailer, which is currently industry standard. Our drivers now make fewer trips to transport the same amount of waste. This technology has been introduced in Brisbane and has the potential to reduce Thiess Services’ transport carbon emissions by 800 tonnes of CO2equivalent per year. This is the equivalent of removing 235 light vehicles from the road.
