WASTE and recycling equipment hirer Wastemasters Group has invested in a fleet of JCB electric Teletruks.
The Coventry-based business has taken delivery of three new 35-22E Teletruk models, which join a fleet of more than 80 JCB Wastemaster machines the company hires to customers across the UK.
Director Paul Labram said, “We are always looking for ways to help our customers to reduce their carbon footprint, and with the electric Teletruks joining the fleet, it gives us zero emissions alternatives to the diesel Teletruk that is proven in the industry. Already excelling with our recycling industry customers, I also expect these electric machines to become popular in the warehousing sector too, as they will be a perfect fit for loading and unloading palletised goods in the indoor environment.
“The Teletruk is a big hit with our customers as it is a lot more productive and versatile than a standard masted forklift, with the ability to power multiple attachments which is a real bonus. Our customers range from recycling sites using bale grabs and buckets for processing material through to builders’ merchants operating with fork attachments.”
Supplied by Gunn JCB, the 35-22E electric Teletruk is part of a new generation of products from the JCB E-TECH range. The forward reach electric forklift features a ‘unique’ telescopic boom and is capable of a full eight-hour shift on a single charge.
JCB said a small turning circle and single side-loading capability make it more productive on materials handling work, both inside and outdoors. The 35-22E boasts a max lift capacity of 3,500kg and max lift height of 4m. At 2m, lift capacity is 2,220kg.
