Where this facility sits in the TRI record
Among the 1,603 Transportation Equipment facilities in this database, The Heil Co reports the 308th-largest volume, placing it in the top 19.2% of its sector.
Placement is computed from reported TRI pounds in this database. Thresholds are fixed across every facility page: concentrated ≥60% of volume in one chemical, county-dominant ≥25% of the county total, carcinogen-heavy ≥50% of pounds. Share-based statements are shown only for sites reporting at least 1,000 lbs, because a share of a very small total is not a meaningful signal. Reported pounds are self-reported estimates and do not measure toxicity or health risk.
The Heil Co files annual Form R disclosures to the EPA Toxics Release Inventory under EPCRA Section 313, classified under NAICS 336211 (Transportation Equipment). Across 5 years of records spanning 2019–2023, the site has disclosed 91.1K lbs in cumulative toxic releases across 4 distinct chemicals. Largest chemicals by pounds: Toluene; n-Butyl alcohol; 1,2,4-Trimethylbenzene; Manganese.
The dominant release pathway is air releases at 91.1K lbs (100.0% of total volume). Between 2019 and 2023, reported totals decreased by 41% - from 43.5K lbs to 25.9K lbs. The facility is operated under parent company Terex Corp alongside Terex Washington Awp Div Genie Industries; Terex South Dakota Inc; Terex Advance Mixer Inc; Terex USA LLC.

Similar-scale peers outside Alabama: Sheildtec LLC; Fluid Motion LLC; C&d Zodiac Inc; Arcosa Marine Products Inc Plt 1038.
TRI Form R values are self-reported estimates, not measured stack emissions, and treat every pound of reported chemical equally regardless of toxicity. Inclusion in the TRI database does not establish a health risk to nearby residents; it documents the annual reporting record that The Heil Co has filed with the EPA under federal community right-to-know requirements - open Valley Joist for a different chemical mix before treating volume as risk.

About TRI Data
Data as of 2023 reporting year. Source: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Toxic Release Inventory.
Data comes from the EPA Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) program. Facilities that manufacture, process, or otherwise use listed toxic chemicals above threshold amounts are required to report annually to the EPA.
On this page the largest disclosed chemicals include Toluene, n-Butyl alcohol, 1,2,4-Trimethylbenzene, Manganese; nearby reporters include Valley Joist. "Total releases" includes air, water, land, and off-site transfers for disposal, aggregated across available reporting years. Quantities are self-reported estimates, not measured stack emissions.
PlainEnviro presents this data without advocacy framing. The presence of a facility in the TRI database does not by itself indicate a health risk. For site-specific health questions, consult your local environmental or health agency.
