Machines involved in handling
Municipal waste:
When you need to deal with the continual arrival of municipal waste into a transfer station, materials recycling facility (MRF) or Civic Amenity (CA) site, the JCB Wastemaster range is the solution.
Wastemaster wheeled loading shovels are tough and purpose designed for handling municipal waste. Large capacity refuse buckets, some with top grabs, ensure maximum load retention for high productivity. Optional hi-lift loader arms or hi-tip buckets offer additional reach for effortless loading of high-sided bulkers, usually requiring larger models. And underbelly guarding, light guarding and additional cab protection keep the machine and operator safe.
The 541-70 Loadall, with over 4 tonnes of lift capacity combined with a lift height of 7 metres, is another very useful machine for municipal waste. Four-wheel steer gives excellent manoeuvrability and safe all-round vision is ensured by the low boom line and high visibility cab.
The TM310 has all the attributes of a telescopic handler but with the articulated steering of a wheeled loader. It offers over 3-tonne lift capacity to a full height of over 5 metres with a load capacity of over 2 cubic metres for typical waste material.
For pre-sorting and handling incoming material, there is no better option than our 360° wheeled materials handlers. Mobile and manoeuvrable, they are available with fixed or hydraulically raised cabs for superb operator visibility and safety. Solid tyres guarantee maximum uptime and the four-stabiliser undercarriage gives superb stability.
Fitted with a selector grab, a materials handler or wheeled excavator in a CA site can effectively pick and sort incoming material. Fitment of a compaction wheel helps to maximise loads in the containers resulting in compaction rates of up to three or four times, subject to material, thereby reducing necessary movements and costs to the overall operation.
