Why the City of Seguin Chose the Rotobec Load N' Go

The City of Seguin provides residential brush collection services for approximately 40,000 residents.

To keep service consistent, the city divides its collection area into five brush zones, with crews rotating through each zone on a weekly schedule before transporting collected material back to the municipal brush facility.

Today, the city’s fleet includes two Rotobec Load N’ Go loaders alongside other brush collection equipment, allowing crews to efficiently handle routine collections as well as seasonal increases in brush volumes across the community.

Before purchasing the Load N’ Go, the City of Seguin evaluated several loader options available to municipalities.

Because much of the city’s work takes place beneath overhead utilities and throughout residential neighborhoods, equipment size, maneuverability, and operator visibility were major considerations.

When the Rotobec Load N’ Go became available, it offered the compact design the city had been waiting for.

Equally important was the confidence they had in their local Rotobec dealer.

“The product support from our vendor has been exceptional.”

That relationship, combined with Rotobec’s reputation for building dependable material handling equipment, made the decision an easy one.

If there’s one thing that immediately stood out after putting the Rotobec Load N’ Go into service, it was speed.

Compared to the equipment the city had previously operated, the Load N’ Go allowed crews to work significantly faster while maintaining precise control.

“It’s a faster unit, and when you’re in production, you need that speed.”

For municipalities operating on fixed residential brush collection schedules, every minute saved throughout the day helps crews stay on schedule, improve productivity, and serve more residents efficiently.

Dodson also pointed to the loader’s durability and long-term reliability as qualities that have impressed the city since taking delivery.

Dodson’s familiarity with Rotobec actually began long before joining the City of Seguin.

Having previously worked in the logging industry in New England, he was already familiar with the Rotobec name.

“Rotobec is an industry standard.”

That previous experience gave him additional confidence when evaluating equipment for the city’s municipal brush collection program, knowing the company had earned a reputation for building durable loaders capable of performing in demanding applications.

While equipment performance is critical, municipalities also depend on strong dealer relationships and dependable product support to keep operations running smoothly.

For the City of Seguin, having a trusted local dealer played a significant role throughout the purchasing process.

That support, combined with Rotobec’s proven reputation, gave the city confidence that their investment would continue delivering value long after the equipment entered service.

As the City of Seguin continues serving a growing community, the Rotobec Load N’ Go has become an important tool for keeping residential brush collection efficient, dependable, and productive.

From its compact design and fast cycle times to its durability and dealer support, the Load N’ Go is helping crews accomplish more during every collection route while continuing to provide reliable service for residents throughout Seguin.

As municipalities continue facing labor shortages, growing service demands, and seasonal increases in yard waste and storm debris, equipment that improves collection efficiency without sacrificing maneuverability becomes increasingly valuable.
