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.

Have you tried the freshly updated New Way Sidewinder?

The updates are truly next level:
⏱️ Packer cycle improved from 20 seconds to 16 seconds with regen valve.
🦷 Racked teeth at the body opening to prevent trash spring-back into hopper.
🦾 Arm cycle improved from 8 seconds to 6 seconds with cylinder change.
🔌 1,200 feet less wiring means simpler harnesses and fewer electrical issues.
🎛️ In-cab operator configurable gripper pressure with multiple presets they can toggle between for different cart types, weather conditions, or the way the can is packed.
🤲 Gripper belts on arm fingers instead of rubber pucks, better grip and longevity.
📊 Hydraulic hour meter and maintenance interval alerts for better maintenance tracking and uptime.
⚠️ Body fault detection and troubleshooting tools on informational display for technicians.
🖥️ Upgraded & larger information display for better operator awareness.
⛓️ Upgraded chain size for longer life and less adjustments.
🌡️ Hydraulic oil defuser in tank and oil cooler with in-cab oil temperature gauge, run fast, not hot.
⌨️ Keypad body controls instead of toggle switches means less wiring and more in-cab system information.
✋ Deadman or pressure-sensing joystick options.
🔄 Roller-gripper and switch-pad arm controls available
🎚️ Proportional arm controls give the operator unbelievable control and responsiveness for those tricky grabs.

-> Pro tip: If you have customers that stack bags above the lid of the can, be sure to get the optional spill shield visible in the video. It's helps save unstable bags/items from falling during dumping. No one likes cleaning up messes from over filled cans.

The proven, powerful, and low maintenance arm and packer designs stay the same, they just perform in an improved way.

Our sales team got hands-on with Travis Klaven at Aries Industries, Inc. on the Voyager and Wolverine televising systems!

The Voyager is Aries’ flagship HD mainline inspection system, using CAN bus technology for precision and smooth operation in pipes from 6” to 72”.

The Wolverine is a fully electric cutter that handles relined pipe work and tap removals at up to 14,000 rpm—running on the same advanced CAN bus platform.

Our team also explored the UC400 controller, which operates multiple Aries systems (Voyager, Wolverine, and Sidewinder) from one unit for maximum versatility.

☎️ Call today or visit us on the web to learn more about what Aries Industries has to offer!
