UK’s #1 Refuse Vehicle Repair & Servicing

Unfortunately, sometimes accidents happen and at Trest we are available to assess the damage quickly and provide a cost-effective bin lorry repair service. In the case 0f the Dennis, the manufacturer wanted to fit a new cab which not only had a huge cost but also the vehicle would have been of been off the road for at least a couple of months.

We assessed the damage and provided the insurance with a quote within 24 hrs and 2 weeks later the bin lorry was repaired and returned to the customer. In summary we collected the vehicle, removed the relevant cab interior, cut out the bent steel cross member, removed the damaged cab roof, made a new cab cross member which was laser cut and welded in house and then welded into the cab.

Once the welding work was complete, we double checked that the cab was square, and test fitted the windscreen. The new roof was fitted and the vehicle was sent to a local paint shop for painting. Once the vehicle was out of paint all the cab interior was refitted along with the windscreen. New external cab parts which included, mirrors, front bumper, front view camera, one side underrun rail and a rear mudguard were fitted and a thorough inspection on all the work was carried out and a road test to check that all safety features were working correctly. The bin lorry was then delivered back to the customer. The feedback from the customer was fantastic.

This Mercedes Econic bin lorry came to us with moderate damage to the cab. We were able to swiftly repair it and ensure it was back on the road in perfect condition. Our team are amongst the most knowledgeable in the country when it comes to repairs to Mercedes, Dennis and other brand of waste vehicle.
