Three new skip loaders for MCLM worth R7 million
MCLM recently prioritised over R7 million of its budget to buy the three new skip loader trucks to accelerate and improve waste collection in the city.
Mogale City Local Municipality (MCLM) has added three new skip loader trucks to their fleet.
A statement from MCLM explained that their fleet management recently prioritised over R7 million of its budget to buy the three new skip loader trucks. The purchase will reduce leasing costs and accelerate and improve waste collection in the city.
“Prior to this procurement, the municipality had been on a full maintenance lease contract since 2015 which was extended on a month-to-month basis through deviation.”
The trucks were officially handed over to the MCLM’s Integrated Waste Management Division during an unveiling ceremony held at the Chamdor yard.
“According to fleet management, the trucks [2022 UD CWE 330 Automatic Transmission model] have a three-year maintenance plan which will reduce maintenance costs and are all fitted with specialised tracking devices to monitor driver behaviour and misuse. The trucks are also under the National Transversal Contract and will be serviced and maintained accordingly to lengthen their life span.”
MCLM plans to procure more trucks as well as 12 water tankers, six vacuum tankers, four tractors and slashers, a landfill compactor and three roll-on trucks.
“We are appealing to members of the community to report any municipal official that misuses the trucks so that steps can be taken against them.”
