With more than 80,000 Hyva tippers in service across the country, Hyva is already a name to reckon with in the transport industry in India, with vast scope for further growth. To-date, tippers have mainly been deployed in infrastructure development projects related to roads, bridges, air and sea ports construction and in mining industries. However, collection and transportation of waste in towns and cities acquires greater importance in the current scenario.
Growing population and rapid urbanisation and industrialisation have led to huge garbage generation, and hence the rising demand for efficient and environmentally sound handling and processing systems. Hyva India is focused on solutions to meet this demand.
Hyva India’s first success in waste handling came in 1997 with the supply of 10 stationary compactors, mounted on trailers, to the Mumbai Municipal Corporation. Another 26 units were supplied in 2008. And in the interim period, the company has been producing tippers and tipping hydraulics to meet the rising demand.
A key development took place in 2007 when Hyva established a partnership with the UK-based Dennis Eagle and entered into a technology contract to manufacture rear loading garbage compactors in India for both domestic and export markets. The first sale of a demonstration unit of the Hyva compactor was made to a private sector customer in Delhi. A second order followed, and more units were sold to another customer in the South. The first export order, through Dennis Eagle, for 33 compactors for Bahrain was extended in the last quarter of 2008.
“Our decision to partner with Hyva in India was based on Hyva’s access to the Indian market and its reputation as the leading manufacturer of high quality hydraulic cylinders,” commented Derek Flynn, General Manager - Export, Middle East and Africa, at Dennis Eagle.
Dennis Eagle is a known designer and manufacturer of commercial vehicle bodies and chassis cabs, predominantly for refuse collection vehicles (RCVs). Its highly-engineered, premium quality products are in service with many leading private and public sector fleets both in the UK and overseas. Dennis Eagle has established licensing agreements with companies in China and Africa also.
Dennis Eagle is a well established and respected brand with strong market share in the UK and other European countries. However, ex-UK deliveries to regions such as the Gulf, the Far East and Asia have become expensive. The partnership with Hyva India has improved prospects of sales in these regions through lower manufacturing costs and proximity to markets. The partnership can now deliver the Dennis Eagle brand in a much more attractive price package to these territories.
“So far, we are very pleased with our partnership with Hyva India. The agreement gives us cost-effective access to new markets in India and the Middle East, and combines two strong brands, Hyva and Dennis Eagle, at the premium end of the market. The operating relationship is excellent and sales are progressing well,” concluded Derek Flynn.
Future plans may include the production of smaller capacity vehicles for collection and recycling in urban areas.
The Indian challenge
In India, the waste handling sector is very competitive. There are quite a few players, many with experienced overseas partners. However, Hyva India has significant and sustainable competitive advantages in quality, reliability and efficiency derived from its advanced technology. The challenge for Hyva India is to increase its market share and the company is well placed to do that.
Hyva garbage compactors are ergonomically designed, built from special wear-resistant and high-yield steel and are easy to operate through an electrohydraulic system. The compactors are designed to provide at least 20% extra payload which translates into cost savings in fuel and other operating costs.
In addition, Hyva India is already an established supplier of tippers to all of the truck manufacturing companies in India. Many of these companies are now expanding their sales networks into Africa and Russia and Hyva compactors represent an important extension to their product portfolio. For example, Hyva India has recently secured an order for 20 compactors from Tata Motors for export to Algeria.
Extending the waste handling portfolio
Compactors are only the first stage in Hyva’s service offering for waste handling in India. Experience in China has demonstrated the potential for static and portable compactors and small and large transfer stations. Hook lift loaders are a proven complementary product for transportation of garbage containers. And heavy-duty skip loaders, multi-kap tipper and truck mounted cranes with clamshell buckets can all have a role to play in integrated waste handling solutions. Hyva India is the only supplier which can offer such a diverse and proven product portfolio and is supported by a national aftersales network.
Demand for waste handling solutions is rising strongly driven by population growth, urbanisation, regulation and the requirement for pollution free handling. Hyva India, with its efficient and environmentally sound solutions, is well placed to capitalise on this demand. Current plans to produce 300 compactors are expected to increase with sustained demand and an extended Hyva product portfolio.
However, garbage compactor is not the only offering Hyva India makes to the waste handling and transportation segment in India. Worldwide, Hyva sells many of its equipments like hook loader, skip loader, truck mounted crane and MultiKap tipper (tipper with hydraulic covering system) in large numbers for various municipal application.
Hyva has got a wide range (in terms of capacity and types) hook loaders, manufactured by its subsidiaries Hyvalift, Holland, and Hyva Mechanics, China. As of today Hyva India, is importing hook lifts from the manufacturing units and very soon aims to start local manufacturing, as certain volume get generated. These equipments are used for handling of open and closed garbage, industrial waster and scrap containers. Already, Hyva hook loaders are visible in different parts of country in all these application.
Built with high strength steel, these equipments are ready to meet high working demand round the clock and long life maintenance free product for its users.
Hyva skip loader
While this product (commonly known as dumper placer) is widely visible in Indian cities, Hyva offering stands out to be completely of different league. They are not well engineered and robustly built, but also available in Telescopic range (apart from standard version). These are unique in Indian market and Hyva expects to make their cutting edge through quality and capacity of equipment. As of today the product is built at Hyvalift, Holland .. but, manufacturing in India is very much in plan.
Hyva truck mounted crane
While knuckle boom cranes are popular in infrastructure development and construction business, a certain variant of Hook Loaders are also see in deployment in municipal application. Attached with various types of Buckets (Clamshell, Grab, etc.) these cranes can be used for garbage lifting, tree branch cutting and lifting, etc.
Hyva cranes are already seen in these application in India.
Hyva garbage transfer station
As every Indian city is growing in its area, it is indeed a need to shift the landfill (the place, where garbage is dumped) further from the city and thereby, the transport of collected garbage needs to be done over longer distance. Therefore, it is indeed a necessity to transport garbage in compacted form in order to make the transportation cost economical.
So, the idea is to collect the garbage from all small sorts of collection vehicles to a common place and then compact same and transport. While such system are adopted in developed nation decades back and widely applied in China in last five years (Hyva Mechanics is the biggest supplier in Chinese market), India is late starter. Certain progressive municipalities have already taken initiative.
Looking at the huge opportunity in this field and Hyva Mechanics grand success, Hyva India has made its entry in this field too. First such unit is under installation in South India.

No doubt, with this huge range of product, Hyva is emerging as the strongest single source player in the country.
