Heil Environmental has expanded the territory covered by its longtime distributor Cherokee Truck Equipment LLC to include most of Georgia. Cherokee has been a distributor of Heil refuse collection vehicles since 1981, serving southeast Tennessee and northwest Georgia. It has now assumed the territory formerly managed by Heil South, which was recently sold and will no longer handle refuse equipment.

Cherokee offers municipal, national and independent refuse haulers a complete line of Heil front loader, rear loader, recycling, and automated refuse collection vehicles, as well as replacement parts from Parts Central, a Heil company, and hydraulic cart lifters from Bayne Premium Lift Systems. The company also sells and services other truck bodies and equipment, including cranes.

Based in Chattanooga TN, Cherokee is establishing a full sales and service facility in Georgia. Owner and president Jim O'Brien purchased Cherokee in June 2005.
