The machine is at work on the 450-acre Waterbeach waste management park in Cambridgeshire, where more than 400,00 tonnes of waste is processed.
鈥淭he waste we receive into Waterbeach Park comes from both commercial and municipal sources, so we are dealing with general waste, not heavy construction materials. Our numerous facilities onsite help us to recycle the majority of the materials we receive, but there is some residual waste that needs to go to landfill.
鈥淚n order to make this process as efficient and cost effective as possible, when we came to increasing our haulage fleet, we looked at the ideal equipment makeup for the task. We wanted a solution that was safe, robust enough to deal with the conditions onsite, high hours of use and large volumes of waste.
鈥淪o it was clear that we needed to use an articulated truck for this task, but there wasn鈥檛 an off-the-shelf solution that met our needs.聽 This is why we spoke to the custom engineering team at Finning, who worked with us to design the Cat 725C2 we now have onsite."
