Sunbelt Waste Equipment

What Sunbelt Waste Equipment does

Sunbelt Waste Equipment is a Florida-based, multi-brand authorized dealer of waste collection, street maintenance, and vocational work-truck equipment, operating three full-service locations in Tampa, Pompano Beach, and Labelle. The company sells new and used refuse trucks, street sweepers, grapple trucks, mechanic trucks, bucket trucks, compactors, and bodies from approximately sixteen manufacturers, with Heil Environmental as its anchor brand relationship since 1998. Beyond equipment sales, Sunbelt generates revenue across four streams: equipment sales (new and used), OEM parts (with same-day delivery), in-house and mobile service and repairs (factory-trained technicians), and short- and long-term equipment rentals of garbage trucks and roll-off trucks.

The business model is a classic multi-brand commercial truck dealership: the company earns one-time revenue on unit sales and parts, professional-services revenue on repairs and custom fabrications, and recurring monthly revenue on equipment rentals. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with used garbage trucks listed between $59,900 and $239,900 and rental rates ranging from $3,600/month (Karcher MC 150 sweeper) to $6,100/month (Schwarze A7SE Tornado sweeper). The company serves two primary customer segments — municipalities (city and county public works departments) and private environmental service providers / fleet operators — through a direct sales motion executed by an in-house team across its Florida locations.

In January 2026, Sunbelt merged with Tampa Crane & Body (founded 1996) under the Sunbelt Waste Equipment name, unifying two Florida dealerships with nearly three decades of combined experience and consolidating leadership under President Drew Weil. The combined entity operates as part of the Vocational Trucks and Equipment (VTE) dealer group, a national network of environmental services equipment dealers. Sunbelt has begun layering in adjacent offerings including 3rd Eye fleet camera and analytics technology, Nexteligence technician training programs, and Heil electric garbage trucks, signaling an intent to broaden from pure equipment resale into recurring service, training, and fleet-technology revenue.
