New Venture, New Volvos for H & H Waste Management
H & H Waste Management Ltd, part of the Hoban Group, has taken delivery of a Volvo L180H and an EW240E material handler for its recently acquired waste handling facility located at Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire.
Both machines are the first Volvos to be purchased by the company to handle a range of material from residual (black bin waste), through to wood, industrial waste, concrete and rubble. The new 28-tonne loading shovel has been fitted with a heavy-duty 4.8m³ hi-tip bucket supplied by Ulrich attachments, together with 26.5R25 solid wheel and tyre assemblies to counter general wear working on the concrete pad. The EW240E MHE was ordered following a successful demonstration and evaluation by H & H Waste Management at the Aylesbury facility. “We opted for the Volvo shovel as we consider it to be the best on the market in terms of productivity, reliability and ultimately, its residual value,” explains Managing Director, Michael Hoban. “The material handler accomplished all the activities required of it while on demonstration and the two machines complement each other well.” H & H Waste Management’s newly acquired MRF receives
waste from London, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, the majority of which is hauled by Hoban Ltd’s fleet of forty walking floor bulk trailers. ■
