Wastemasters Group, a UK-based waste and recycling equipment hirer, has invested in a fleet of JCB electric Teletruks. The company has taken delivery of three new JCB 35-22E Teletruk models which join its fleet of more than 80 JCB Wastemaster machines which the company hires to waste and recycling customers across the UK.
Supplied by dealer Gunn JCB, the JCB 35-22E electric Teletruk is part of a new generation of innovative products from the JCB E-TECH range of equipment, which deliver zero emissions at point of use without compromising performance. The forward-reach electric forklift features a unique telescopic boom and is capable of a full 8-hour shift on a single charge.
“We are always looking for ways to help our customers reduce their carbon footprint, and with the electric Teletruks joining the fleet, it gives us zero emissions alternatives to the diesel Teletruk that is proven in the industry. The Teletruk is a big hit with our customers as it is a lot more productive and versatile than a standard masted forklift, with the ability to power multiple attachments which is a real bonus. Our customers range from recycling sites using bale grabs and buckets for processing material through to builders’ merchants operating with fork attachments.”
said Paul Labram, Wastemasters Group Director.
The Teletruk’s small turning circle and single side-loading capability make it more productive on materials handling work, inside and outdoors. The 35-22E boasts a max lift capacity of 3,500kg and a max lift height of 4m. At 2m, the lift capacity is 2,220kg.
“Already excelling with our recycling industry customers, I expect these electric machines to become popular in the warehousing sector too, as they will be a perfect fit for loading and unloading palletised goods in the indoor environment.”
added Paul Labram, Wastemasters Group Director.
