Vacu-Lug secure new tyre contract in waste-management sector
Company wins contract to supply and manage tyres for Countrystyle Recycling
VACU-LUG Traction Tyres have secured a major new contract from Countrystyle Recycling for the supply and management of tyres for their fleet of vehicles. The recycling firm opted for Vacu-Lug’s full tyre supply and fleet-management solution because it wanted increased visibility and standardization within a tyre agreement, and was impressed by the advanced control and reporting systems that Vacu-Lug offered.
Countrystyle Recycling specialize in handling, processing, disposing and recycling almost all forms of waste. The company also operates an extensive commercial waste recyclable collection service in Kent and manages a mixed fleet of vehicles.
The tyres specified on the machines will be a mixture of Vacu-Lug, Pirelli, Formula and Westlake, depending on the vehicle type. The tyre supply service will be supported by Vacu-Lug’s advanced tyre fleet-management system, VMS, while all fitments and breakdowns will be supplied and covered by ATS Euromaster.
The VMS system is designed to ensure that operators get the most out of their tyres and that best practice is adhered to, as a way of helping to control costs and boost operational efficiency.
Drew Crouch, group transport manager (compliance) for Countrystyle Recycling, commented: ‘As the company has grown, the need to have a more structured approach to tyre procurement in relation to the standardization and visibility of the products and services fitted has increased.
‘It was decided that Vacu-Lug products combined with Vacu-Lug’s fleet-management system, together with the coverage of ATS Euromaster and the many benefits that they can offer, will allow Countrystyle to move forward in a more controlled manner.’
David Fowler, business development manager for Vacu-Lug, added: ‘The Vacu-Lug product combined with the service delivery of ATS, and the experience both companies have in this type of operation, fits like a hand in a glove.
