OVERSEAS INNOVATIONS
Geesinknorba AB provides a total one stop shop waste management package for the Nordic waste management market, supported by its first class after sales, service and parts back up service.
for the storage of bags to suit the Molok underground waste collection system and dust extractors with curtains to provide a dustless waste collection system. Another option is the modification of the L500 bin lift to suit the width of different waste containers used with the Norba MF series product. The multi fraction pod fitted to N and MF series units is also manufactured in Finland, keeping the industry within the Nordic region. The mountings for the fitment of roof-mounted cranes are also carried out at Kalmar.
Thomas stated that a big part of the business is aftersales due to the geographical size of Sweden and Norway. Geesinknorba AB works with its clients in these two countries to arrange services and preventative maintenance to be carried out by local companies who customers know and trust. Quick fix kits are despatched from Kalmar to these service agents so that vehicles can be kept on the road to prevent operational downtime. These kits can be replaced within 24 hours by Geesinknorba Kalmar. Safety stickers for the safe and maintenance-free use of each unit are specially printed by the branch and positioned in both the cab and on the tailgate lower buttons so that operatives can read them while driving, loading and discharging the waste collection vehicle. This helps to keep the unit in clean and safe working order.
To complete circularity, for the Li-On Power Pro (fully electrical units) the Nordic branch also offers to refurbish customers’ old vehicles. The chassis is removed from the body and then refurbished (e.g. shot blasted and repainted), as is the cab’s interior (e.g. the seats are reupholstered, the rear-view camera screen is either replaced or upgraded, and a more modern radio/DVD player is fitted). The cab is
externally repainted too. The chassis cab is rebuilt and fitted with an electric motor and then fitted with a new Geesinknorba N, MF or G series unit. The complete rebuild of the chassis, the replacement of its diesel engine with an electric powered unit and the fitting of a new Geesinknorba rear loading unit helps the branch to play its part in the circular economy.
Thomas concluded by saying that, to offer a total waste management package, the branch also sells and markets the Kiggen brand of portable and static compactors, recently selling the first unit - a Kiggen PD745 portable compactor - into the market. Gergen skip and hook loaders are also sold and BIR Transport AS of Bergen currently has a Gergen hook loader unit on order awaiting delivery. Finally, the branch also markets the Boschung S2 street sweeper range across the region.
In conclusion, Geesinknorba AB provides a total one stop shop waste management package for the Nordic waste management market, supported by its first class aftersales, service and parts back up service. The company promotes and delivers sustainable waste management solutions to this market both for the present and the future.
