Heil Environmental announced the appointment of Sunbelt Hydraulics and Equipment Inc. of Delray Beach, Fla., as its authorized dealer for southern Florida.

For the last decade, Sunbelt has served public and private haulers in the region as a Heil Parts and Service Center, providing replacement parts, maintenance and repair for refuse and recycling collection vehicles. The addition of the sales of brand new Heil vehicles reflects the company’s commitment to its customers.

“Sunbelt has a well-deserved reputation for strong service and customer support,” said Bob McHugh, Heil’s director of North American sales. “The Sunbelt team has dedicated itself to helping customers get the most from their refuse and recycling collection vehicles. We were truly excited by the opportunity to work with Sunbelt to bring their customers the full range of Heil products and services.”

Mickey Chavez founded Sunbelt in 1997, drawing upon his 20 years of experience providing hydraulic system service and repair for refuse collection vehicles and other equipment.

“I’ve been calling on many of our customers for nearly 30 years,” he says. “I knew some of them when they were mechanics, and now they’re regional managers and district managers. People like to buy from people they know and trust. I’m proud that our customers trust Sunbelt Hydraulics.”

To continue this superior level of service in meeting his customers’ new equipment needs, Mickey brought a new partner into the business. Jay Luck came out of a three-year retirement to become Sunbelt’s new chief operating officer and body sales manager, bringing Sunbelt and its customers extensive truck sales and management experience.

In addition to parts, service, and Heil vehicles, Sunbelt also provides the most requested line of hydraulic cart lifters, manufactured by Bayne Premium Lift Systems. Sunbelt only offers product lines related to the waste industry.
