Listicles
Attachments used in scrap handling and recycling must deliver consistently high performance under extreme conditions while meeting dynamic operational requirements. Scrap handling prioritises the safe and efficient movement of heavy, sharp-edged and bulky materials such as steel and other metals. Recycling applications, meanwhile, require the precise and rapid sorting and handling of a diverse range of materials, including paper, wood, plastics and mixed waste.
