The new Volvo replaces a tele-handler that was struggling to cope with the demands of a site which operates a two shift, 18 hour day, with a half day on Saturdays processing around 1,000 tonnes of waste paper per week. “The machine gave us untold problems with tyre punctures and material getting trapped in the internal parts of the machine, creating too much down- time,” explains Managing Director Simon Edwards. “We concluded that to increase our productivity on site, a wheeled loader correctly specified for the application was the way forward and looked to Volvo for the solution.”
