Machines involved in handling
Metals:
With the manufacturing sector using more recycled
metals than ever before and scrap prices on the increase,
the business potential in metals recycling has never been
greater. Whatever metal you specialise in, we have a
machine to rehandle it.
With its purpose-designed scrap boom and dipper, the
JS200W scrap handler offers 12 metres of reach for
excellent lift and loading performance. The four-stabiliser
undercarriage reassures with its all-round stability, making
this the ideal rehandler for small to medium sized scrap
metal merchants.
A hydraulically raised cab gives clear visibility into trucks
or containers for greater safety and more efficient
working. Solid tyres protect against punctures and
central spacer rings keep out any metal from between
the twin tyres. There is a choice of attachments available,
from 4- and 5-tine orange peel grabs to cutters, plate
magnets and selector grabs.
JCB tracked excavators are also hugely popular in metals
and demolition. A tracked excavator equipped with a
hydraulic cutter makes light work of the often awkwardly
sized incoming material, efficiently preparing it for loading
into the shear. Tracked models can also be fitted with
hydraulically raised cabs and scrap rigs.
It is not unusual to see JCB wheeled loading shovels
working in the scrap metals industry. With correctly
specified tyres they are more than capable of loading
and rehandling frag, while hi-lift loader arms increase
loadover height where required and can easily
accommodate high-sided bulkers.
Finally, JCB Loadall Wastemasters offer additional
solutions for scrap metal rehandling. Variable loadover
height of up to 7 metres for the 541-70 is more than
ample for any vehicle. The extendable reach of a Loadall
also comes in handy if you are loading or unloading a
closed container.
