Truro Recycling has added a mighty new machine to its fleet
Monday 10th October, 2022
The centre on Lighterage Quay recently invested in an Atlas 350 Material Handler – a 36-tonne excavator which has a 600 to 700 litre ‘scrap grab’.
It’s the second machine of its kind at Truro Recycling, the
only scrapyard in Cornwall licensed to dismantle and recycle old boats.
As demand for the service increased, manager Roman Drew
realised the firm needed to think big.
“The Atlas arrived a couple of months ago and has already
been a help as we’ve got more into the boat breaking side of things,” said
Roman. “It’s definitely going to benefit the business in the long term.”
The Atlas, made by TDL, offers a maximum reach of 18.2
metres and has a magnetic attachment, making it easy to sort through different
types of metal.
