Henshaws strengthen their fleet as they take delivery of a new Liebherr LH24 M Industry Litronic material handler

From their 16 acre waste transfer station in Macclesfield, Cheshire, they provide clients with a range of waste services including skip hire, commercial waste disposal, scrap metal recycling and tipping facilities. 

We went along to meet James Henshaw, transport manager, to talk about the new machine acquisition. “The site employs over 50 people and this is where all of our processing is done. The main input stream is skip waste, along with council waste, scrap metal and cardboard. The site includes a 50 tonne weigh bridge, separate segregation bays, aggregates centre and 200ft picking line, which operates with up to 50 picking staff allowing us to recycle all waste efficiently and effectively.”

“We have invested a substantial amount in new site material handling equipment over the past few months and have also had a brand new fleet of ten wagons to compliment the operation. We decided on the new Liebherr LH24 as we have always been very happy with Liebherr, and having had their machines since 2001, this is our third one now. It’s a cracking piece of kit and we are extremely happy with it.”

The LH 24 M Litronic impresses with its robust and compact design. Accordingly, this type of machine is particularly suitable for use in the field of recycling. Utilising state-of-the-art engine and hydraulic technology developed by Liebherr, the main focus is on fuel efficiency whilst concurrently increasing the handling capacity. This achievement is moreover heightened by the wide choice of attachment combinations, which have been optimally coordinated for the respective applications.
