The best tool for the job at L&S Waste Management
Hampshire based L & S Waste Management Ltd has just added two new Volvo excavators to its fleet of mobile equipment that take up residency at the company’s Portsmouth recycling centre.
The two new machines are a twenty-tonne EC200E which was launched globally earlier this year and the slightly larger EC220E weighing in at twenty-two tonnes. The machines were chosen thanks to the reliability and performance of two EC140E models purchased last year at the beginning of 2019 according to Transport and Plant Manager, Dominic Sales. “The two fourteen- tonne machines have proved to be very reliable and the support from SMT GB, when required, has been excellent, which has prompted us to opt for the larger machines for the Portsmouth facility.”
34 THE VOICE MAGAZINE No37 2019 The new excavators fulfil two specific applications at L&S
Waste Management’s Portsmouth facility. The EC200E, equipped with a selector grapple, is in charge of sorting the incoming material which is comprised of general industrial inert waste, skip waste, rubble and demolition waste. Powered by a four-cylinder Stage V compliant Volvo engine developing 156 nett hp, the EC200E is well specified for this application. For example, the machine is equipped with hose rupture valves to the boom and dipper cylinders, quick fit hydraulics, hammer/shear lines and the optional X3 rotation circuit to operate the selector grab.
