ESG Acquires DualLift Product Line

Environmental Solutions Group (ESG) has acquired the DuaLift product line manufactured by Refuse Parts Inc. (RPI), Iberia, Ohio.

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,” says 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 percent faster load/unload cycles.

ESG also acquired the patented LowLift product offering. “The beauty of the LowLift is that it has the same advantages of the DuaLift product, while enabling the loading and unloading of containers without raising the hoist,” says Williams. “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, comments, “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 the technology to customers nationwide. “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,” says Brown.

ESG portfolio of companies includes Heil Environmental, Marathon Equipment Co. and Bayne Premium Lift Systems.
