Bradenton’s Ten-8 Industrial Expands Offerings with Refuse and Recycling Vehicles for the Southeast

Bradenton-based Ten-8 Industrial has announced a significant expansion in its portfolio by becoming the exclusive dealer for McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing’s refuse and recycling vehicles across Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and Missouri. This newly created subsidiary of Ten-8 Fire and Safety, a company with a long-standing reputation for supplying emergency and vocational apparatus in the southeastern United States, will now serve municipalities and commercial customers with high-quality waste management solutions.

Founded in 1985, Ten-8 Fire and Safety has built its reputation on delivering essential emergency services equipment, personal protective gear, and specialized vocational apparatus, along with comprehensive maintenance and repair services. Recognizing the growing demand in the refuse and recycling sector, the company is now venturing into this area with its new division, Ten-8 Industrial. Company officials describe this move as a natural progression, aligning with Ten-8’s commitment to providing top-notch vocational equipment across various industries.

As part of its mission to offer exceptional support for the vehicles it sells, Ten-8 Industrial will establish refuse-dedicated certified service centers in Lakeland, Florida, and Villa Rica, Georgia. Additionally, factory-trained mobile technicians will be deployed across the region, ensuring rapid, on-site assistance to customers. A dedicated support team will work exclusively to keep refuse fleets operational, further enhancing Ten-8 Industrial’s customer-focused approach.

McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing, based in Minnesota and part of Oshkosh Corporation, is a leader in refuse vehicle manufacturing, offering a range of vehicles, including front, side, and rear loaders, as well as electric models for environmentally conscious waste management solutions. Through this exclusive agreement, McNeilus aims to strengthen its market presence in the Southeast and enhance service accessibility for its customers.

With Ten-8 Industrial’s entry into the refuse and recycling vehicle market, the partnership between Ten-8 and McNeilus brings added value to municipalities and private businesses, offering them access to premium vehicles and a responsive service network designed to meet the demands of waste management professionals across the region.
