Paul Riddel Skips based in Horncastle in Lincolnshire, has purchased what is said to be the UK recycling industry’s first Bobcat S630 skid-steer loader for use in the company’s metal recycling and waste disposal operations.
The new S630 loader is used all day on the 2.2 acre site, sorting materials such as scrap metal, plastics, construction rubble and wood into piles, so that they can be loaded into dedicated containers by a fleet of excavators equipped with grabs and other attachments. The compact size and manoeuvrability of the S630 skid-steer loader are suitable for this application working in the spaces between the larger material handlers, providing high performance and durability.
Company owner, Paul Riddel, says: “I’m really impressed with the enhancements on the new S630 which is even more robust than its predecessor and features a larger cab for increased operator comfort and productivity. The ability to clean the S630 by pressure washing both inside and outside the machine is also a great asset. The S630 has been built to work long hours on demanding jobsites and requires minimal time for routine maintenance at the start of the day.”
