T J WASTE & RECYCLING LTD
“It’s suited to the work environment...” is the opinion of John Gosling, Managing Director of Fareham based T J Waste & Recycling Ltd, as he comments on the company’s recent purchase of a Volvo EC140E crawler excavator. The fourteen-tonne excavator is the first Volvo machine purchased by T J Waste & Recycling, following a successful demonstration and evaluation at the company’s Pounds Yard facility located at Tipner, on the outskirts of Portsmouth. “We were impressed with the overall build quality, operator comfort, good visibility from the cab and the standard specification of the EC140E we had on demonstration,” comments John Gosling. “Besides the competitive package, we considered the Volvo to be well suited to the work environment within our recycling facility here at Tipner,” he continues.
EC140E SPECIFICATION
● Stage V compliant 4-cylinder engine 122hp ● Reversible fan to keep the cooling packages free from dust and debris.
● A Turbo II engine pre-cleaner and an X3 hydraulic rotation circuit also facilitate the operation of a selector grab
● A guard has been fitted to protect the bucket cylinder from accidental damage when loading high-sided bulk tippers or unloading material from skips.
The overall geometry of the EC140E’s equipment is ideally suited to working within the confines of the recycling shed at the Tipner facility, whilst also providing sufficient load over-height and reach to load high-sided bulkers. Hose rupture valves are fitted as standard to the boom and dipper cylinders, as are quick fit hydraulics and a hammer/shear service. Working a fifty-six hour week, the EC140E will handle a range of materials consisting mainly of construction waste, with an element of industrial and commercial waste. It is envisaged that the machine will handle around 50,000 tonnes of waste per annum at the Tipner facility segregating and sorting material of which, up to 95% will be recycled.
The new arrival has been supplied with an SMT GB Level 2 ENHANCE service agreement whereby, the machine will be maintained by highly trained and qualified SMT engineers, using genuine Volvo parts at the correct service intervals. For guidance on choosing the right machine for your application, please contact your local SMT GB Sales Representative. Their contact details can be found at the back of the magazine. ■
