🗑️ Project Update: Workshop equipment installation for waste management fleet Cheshire West Recycling’s Winsford depotCommitted to reducing carbon and the impact of waste, Cheshire West Recycling recycles and reuses waste as a resource, meaning that less than 1.5% of the waste collected by the organisation goes to landfill.
A team of over 300 people operates 73 low-carbon RCVs which run on renewable and sustainable vegetable oil fuels in the authority’s area, maintained efficiently and cost-effectively by in-house fleet services at the company’s own workshops in the area. Vehicle maintenance and servicing supports both the client’s own, brand-new fleet, as well as serving a range of other Council-owned operational vehicles.
Having worked alongside major waste management companies such as Biffa and Grundon, as well as supporting local authorities nationwide with waste management fleet workshop facilities, testing and inspection services, CCS Garage Equipment was an experienced garage equipment installation partner to Cheshire West Recycling on its recent refurbishment of vehicle servicing workshops in Winsford and Ellesmere Port.
Making good use of the spaces available in these new commercial vehicle workshops, our specification was versatile to serve the modern RCVs operated by Cheshire West Recycling, while also accommodating other council-owned vehicles.

The new Cheshire West Recycling workshop is up and running, servicing the company’s waste management RCVs with equipment including mobile column lifts, and ancillary systems including LEV fume extraction. CCS Garage Equipment installed all facilities, including pipework, before commissioning the workshops for use.
New lubrication systems at the Cheshire West Recycling commercial vehicle workshops included new fresh and waste oil fuel tanks, created to bespoke specifications before installation on site, fully-managed by our garage equipment installation specialists.
Mobile column lifts are highly versatile, accommodating our client’s RCV fleet as well as other council-owned vehicles serviced in the commercial vehicle workshops. Columns are easily stored when not in use, creating valuable extra floor space.
Commercial roller brake testers are installed in Cheshire West Recycling’s workshops, delivering accurate ATF testing for the client’s complete range of fleet and council-owned vehicles from RCVs to minibuses to enable efficient in-house testing.
Cheshire West Recycling’s fleet, powered by renewable biofuels, are serviced, maintained and tested in-house by the client’s own workshop team, including accurate brake testing using commercial roller brake testers by leading manufacturers for quality and durability assurance.
CCS was appointed by Cheshire West Recycling earlier in 2023 to deliver its workshop installations in Cheshire, with work starting on site in June 2023 and completed in the autumn. The client’s busy commercial vehicle workshops are in use, equipped with the facilities the client team needs to keep vehicles in good working order.
