SMR Investments Acquires Refuse Parts LLC

SMR Investments has recently acquired Refuse Parts LLC, an Iberia, Ohio-based company that makes the patent-pending DuaLift and KwikLift container hoist systems.

SMR, a private investment company, also owns RPI of Indiana Inc., a manufacturer of front load containers that is based in Holmesville, Ohio, and Cooper Tank and Welding Corp., Brooklyn, a maker of roll-off containers.

The DuaLift hoist, introduced in 2005, can service hooklift roll-off containers and cable-hoist containers. The KwikLift is the cable version of the hoist without the hooklift mechanism, which can be retrofitted if desired.

Del Cochran, director of business development for Cooper Tank, says, “Our goal is to help Refuse Parts supply the industry with a quality product based around progressive technology and to offer a responsive installation service with strong technical support to an expanding customer base.”

He adds, “We are excited about the growth potential for this acquisition based on the enthusiasm and quality of the management, the innovative nature of the product and a genuine opportunity for cost savings and efficiency gains for our customers.”
