AAA Transport is as much a family heirloom as it is a company. The operation was established over 30 years ago in Sydney, New South Wales, to specialise in the transport of waste and rubbish products such as glass, paper and scrap metal for recycling companies.
With time, AAA Transport’s influence in the industry grew. As did its scale. The company would eventually spread into surrounding suburbs in Victoria, South Australia and the Australia Capital Territory with efficient services.
AAA Transport Director, Omar Kreidie, is the latest holder of the heirloom, and he’s proud of it.
“I’ve been with the company for a long time,” he says. “I grew up around the business in my childhood, and when the time was right, my father passed it onto me.”
Under Omar’s watchful eye, AAA Transport has prioritised key business principles such as honesty, reliability and safety in order to best serve its customers.
“We believe these values are the most important to keeping customers happy,” he explains. “We make sure our employees live by these rules so we give the best service we can. If a customer wants us to jump, we ask them ‘how high?’. We’re fully in tune with what they need.”
AAA Transport’s commitment to safety can be clearly seen with its five semi-trailers fitted with KEITH Walking Floor systems. The fleet’s use of the moving floor product began just five years ago when it was after a new waste unloading method to replace its tipper trailers. According to Omar, they have since transformed AAA Transport’s operations.
“We were previously using standard tipper trailers but they kept falling over when unloading waste,” he says. “It was a major hazard for us, so we needed to make our operations safer.”
AAA Transport did just that through KEITH Walking Floor systems. Rather than having to empty waste materials at elevated heights and at a weight imbalance, these units utilise the moving floor’s hydraulic power to push the floor slats (and whatever freight is on them) out of the trailer’s tailgate.
“The KEITH Walking Floor trailers are very easy to use,” Omar says. “You only have to flick two buttons and the system begins unloading. It’s a much quicker process than what it was with our tippers, because we seem to just finish jobs and get to other ones sooner now.”
The KEITH Walking Floor systems have also increased safety for AAA Transport’s operators. This is primarily due to the system’s ability to effectively eliminate material hang up and the need for drivers to manually clean out harmful waste materials.
“The scrap metal and glass that we carry can be dangerous for our employees if they’re sharp or unclean,” Omar explains. “Drivers can injure themselves in the process of unloading if they have bad form. But the KEITH Walking Floor systems have eliminated the need for them to even get out of the truck and deal with the waste inside the bins.”
The efficiency and safety advantages of the KEITH product are further supported by an aftersales service which has been very beneficial to AAA Transport.
“KEITH Walking Floor Australia’s customer support is top notch,” Omar says. “The whole company is great at helping us when we need them to.”
KEITH Walking Floor systems have greatly assisted the last five years of AAA Transport’s operations. As the family heirloom continues to service Australia’s waste and rubbish carting needs, KEITH will be alongside it.
