JCB debuts high performance waste and recycling loading equipment at RWM

At RWM 2011, brand new JCB telehandler and skid steer loader models will be shown for the first time, joining proven machines from the company’s purpose-built range of equipment for the waste and recycling industry.

The latest addition to the JCB Wastemaster range is the brand new 550-80 Loadall telescopic handler set to go into production shortly. This 8.1 metre lift height, 5.0 tonne maximum lift capacity machine has been developed in direct response to customer demand for a machine with even greater lift performance at reach. The 550-80WM is JCB’s highest capacity Loadall and it has been specifically designed for bulk handling operations in heavier duty waste applications such as metals recycling. At RWM it will be shown with a waste shovel and top grab.

Also on the stand, fitted with a heavy duty scrap grapple, the JCB 260 compact tracked loader has an operating weight of 4,850kg with a rated capacity of 1179kg. When fitted with the optional waste and recycling pack, this machine brings the visibility, safety, comfort, value and performance benefits of JCB’s new generation skid steer range to the waste industry. The Wastemaster protection pack includes level 2 FOPS protection, comprising front and roof screen guards offering both machine and operator additional protection while working in arduous waste applications such as skip hire and metals recycling.

Also on display will be a JS200W Wastemaster wheeled excavator featuring a hydraulically-raised cab and materials handling rig – comprising a 6.8 metre straight boom and 4 metre MH dipper. The JS200W brings unrivalled visibility and accuracy to sorting, loading and general materials handling projects…

The heavy duty 436eHT Wastemaster wheeled loading shovel will complete the line-up. The model will be shown with Super High Lift Loader Arms which allow loading of the highest bulkers.
