Kenworth signs agreement to make Heil dump bodies available to construction customers.

Kenworth Truck Company announced it has signed an agreement with Heil Environmental Industries, Ltd. to provide its construction customers with one-stop shopping of Heil dump bodies.

Customers will be able to select a Heil dump body when they place their new truck order with their Kenworth

dealer, according to Brian Lindgren, Kenworth vocational market sales director. Customers will gain expedited installation and preferred pricing under the Kenworth-Heil Dump Body Program.

"This new program enables customers to order ready-to-work equipment with accelerated delivery and a single invoice so they can get on the job fast," said Lindgren. "At the same time, they get a great price."

The agreement covers the full line of Heil dump bodies, from 8 feet to 21 feet. Among the configurations is a Super Dump package that includes Strong Industries' Strong Arm extendable tag axles.

Heil's dump bodies are well-suited for vocational customers ranging from small general contractors to large Class 8 haulers, according to Kirk Gordon, Heil national account sales manager. "We have a product to cover different regions and different construction niches."

"The Kenworth T800 and W900 have become extremely popular among dump truck operators. These models have become known for their productivity and durability, and allow our customers to present a high-end image to their clients," said Lindgren. "We've seen our sales of dump trucks increase sharply in recent years, and we look forward to even greater growth now due to this agreement with Heil."

Customers interested in the program should contact their local Kenworth dealer for further information.
