No job to small and no repair to big...

Recently a customer with a 20yd Cobra rear loader had their engine fail and needed a rebuild. It was a good truck so they rebuilt the engine. Then a catastrophic failure happen with the body floor. The repair quote was not small but with the price of a new body these days it made sense to fix it. Elliott Equipment Company has been a New Way dealer for decades, we have upfitted, modified, refurbished, or repaired hundreds of these bodies and know the ins and outs. We outlined our plan to the customer and with their approval got the job done.

A big shout out to SWIMS Disposal a family owned trash company in Byers CO for putting their trust in us over and over again. Thank you. And Francis at our Denver Colorado location, nice work on this project.

Whether it's a DOT inspection, a body inspection, catching up on maintenance, a small repair, a serious repair, or simply parts, Elliott Equipment Company's 5 locations in Denver CO, Lincoln NE, Des Moines IA, Kansas City MO, and Davenport IA are here to help. Reach out to your local service manager to schedule something in.

City of Cheyenne WY delivery and training day on this 1-year lease New Way Mammoth Front Loader!

They City of Cheyenne runs over 20 garbage trucks. Front loaders, rear loaders, ASL, and roll off. Most cities purchase their garbage trucks and budget for its replacement after 5-12 years. This is true with Cheyenne. Sometimes through an outright purchase doesn't quite make sense and reasons could be:

-We need a truck now and can't wait for a custom spec truck to arrive
-We want to try a new type of truck but don't want the risk of owning it for 5-12 years if it doesn't turn out to be the right fit
-We have only a 1-5 year need for more trucks
-We don't quite have the budget currently for an outright purchase
-We want to keep newer trucks to lower maintenance and have predictable fixed costs
-The value on leasing is high compared to owning and maintaining for 5-10 years and the trade value of that older truck.

Have you looked at leasing for your refuse, sewer, or sweeper fleet? What reasons do you think a lease might benefit your municipal operation?

To explore lease options and answer any questions, reach out to your local Elliott Equipment Company sales rep to discuss.

It's delivery day in Kansas City!

Kansas City has been a longtime Camel combo machine user. Still, Super Products never stops innovating and it's never a bad time to retrain on the latest Camel features. So with delivery came a complete day of training on their new machine with Elliott Equipment Company AND Super Products factory staff. Lines got cleaned and the Camels capabilities were on full display for the waste water collections team at the city.

Kansas City was impressed with the Camel's user friendly interface, the power from PD blower, the single piston water pump, and the full ejection dumping design and easy cleaning process. It's these features and the fleet support from Elliott Equipment Company that help keep the city operating safely, efficiently, and effectively on a wide variety of lines and sewer situations at the city of Kansas City.

Thank you Kansas City for the long time partnership. We commit to continuing to support your mission.

Want to give the Super Products Camel a look? Contact your Elliott Equipment Company store to discuss and schedule a demo. Need to talk trade in, financing, leasing, or used options? We do that too.

A big thank you to Ozark Refuse for their purchase of this new Peterbilt 537 with a 20yd New Way Cobra. We appreciate your long business relationship with Elliott Equipment Company.

Ozark refuse is celebrating their 20th anniversary this year. Started by Adam and his wife in 2006, they started without any customers, 120 new carts, and a used 2000 International Leach rear loader they bought from Elliott Equipment Company. Currently Ozark Refuse has 20,000 customers and operates 10 trucks ever day with a team of 25 employees. In their free time the Wilson's have 3 show trucks they take to car shows. They also have goats, ducks, cats, and dogs they raise.

Adams family started hauling trash in the 1930's to help support their hog farming in St. Louis. Adam went to 20 schools before he graduated high school. His parents would buy a small trash company, build it up and sell it. They had companies in 5 locations in Colorado, 3 locations in Missouri and 1 location in Texas.

From everyone at Elliott Equipment Company we congratulate the team on 20 year of business!

📸 From The Elliott Equipment Company Archives

April 2010 - Town and Country Disposal - Harrisonville, MO.

"I got the call at 6:30am on a Sunday." It was JR Pesek, the owner of Town and Country Disposal. The unimaginable had happened. He needed trucks because at least 21 of his trucks were on fire.

"I got on the phone to get whatever trucks we had headed to Missouri. By Sunday evening, we had 6 trucks there for him to use." New Way stepped up and had 4 trucks coming off the production line and sent them there. We got 4 additional trucks to him 2 days later.

We contacted another manufacturer we represented, but they declined to send any trucks despite having demo trucks available. We talked with competing manufacturers to see if they could help, but they declined.

Between Elliott Equipment and New Way, we got him enough trucks to get the trash picked up that week."

A story recalled by Gene Elliott, owner of Elliott Equipment Company.
