Bradenton vehicle dealer expands into refuse industry

A Bradenton-based dealer of emergency and vocational apparatus has expanded its offerings to include refuse and recycling vehicles. Ten-8 Industrial will be the exclusive dealer for McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing, serving Alabama, Florida, Georgia and Missouri.

Ten-8 Industrial is a newly created subsidiary of Ten-8 Fire and Safety, a company founded in 1985 that deals in emergency and vocational apparatus, fire equipment, PPE service, repair and parts in the southeastern United States. Expanding into refuse and recycling vehicles was a logical next step, company officials say.

“We are very excited to launch our Ten-8 Industrial Division with McNeilus refuse trucks,” Ten-8 President and CEO Keith Chapman says in the statement. “As the premium refuse trucks in the market, these products will fit perfectly into our product portfolio.”
