kscarbel2 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Established in 1907, Dennis Eagle is a UK-based manufacturer of purpose-built refuse trucks. Late last year, Dennis Eagle launched the all-new “Elite 6”. The truckmaker’s R&D teams worked hard to improve the chassis specifications, ergonomics, safety and efficiency of their popular “Elite 2”. The result of the company’s US$8.3 million investment is a purpose-built refuse chassis that meets the tough requirements of Euro-6 (EPA2010) emissions standards without sacrificing performance. From the operator's perspective, the Elite 6 is a safer and more comfortable truck. The remodeled panoramic cab offers unparalleled driver visibility, with slim A and B pillars to improve peripheral vision. The single-step low entry walkthrough cab is ideally suited to the crew, allowing easy entry and exit - important on a long day.The Elite 6 is available with Loadsense, an integrated axle overload protection system.Unique in the global industry, the Elite 6 is available in two cab/chassis widths, 2250mm and 2500mm, to meet the specific needs of different regions worldwide. The Elite 6 is available in two chassis widths with nine different axle configurations and a variety of suspensions. Numerous body configurations are also available to accommodate every client's operational environments and challenges. The company is constantly striving to enhance its trucks with innovative engineering solutions to meet the tough and ever-evolving requirements of legislation and our customers.Dennis Eagle is a subsidiary of Ros Roca Group, Europe’s largest refuse collection vehicle manufacturer and the second largest in the world. The truckmaker was founded in 1895 by the Dennis Brothers in Guildford, England. Originally specializing in the production of buses, coaches and fire engines, Dennis Brothers acquired body builder Eagle Engineering in 1907. Dennis Eagle launched the Phoenix 1 refuse body in 1979, Elite 1 low-entry cab refuse chassis in 1992, and Phoenix 2 refuse body in 2001. The company was acquired by Spain-based Ros Roca in 2006.Today, the company has 600 employees, two manufacturing locations and nine factory-run branches throughout the UK. Bodies and chassis are assembled at the company’s Warwick headquarters, while cabs are produced in Blackpool.Dennis Eagle produces over 1,000 refuse trucks annually for both the UK and global markets.http://www.dennis-eagle.co.uk/products/elite6http://issuu.com/denfieldadvertising/docs/w.4215_dennis_eagle_elite_6_preview/1?e=5904178/6088314.
