IRELAND’S largest biomass provider has snapped up a JCB Stage V 427 Wastemaster wheeled loading shovel.
McKinstry Group is moving into the export market with a new site in Belfast where it will be processing over 100,000 tonnes of biomass per year.
Supplied by Dennison JCB, the 427 Wastemaster wheeled loading shovel has been specifically tailored for the waste and recycling sector.
McKinstry Group CEO Darren McKinstry said, “The 427 Wastemaster is working as part of a fleet including a JCB Teletruk and a JCB 560-80 and it is performing very well. The machine is perfectly sized for the application we need it for which is loading and dealing with biomass and it is doing the job very well.”
The model is powered by a Cummins Stage V engine. JCB revealed a variable geometry turbocharger provides ‘increased performance at low engine speed for improved tractive effort’. Meanwhile, the ROPS and FOPS-compliant JCB CommandPlus cab is said to provide ‘superb visibility inside and out’.
