Scotland’s William Hamilton and Sons Waste Handling Project

ongoing

William Hamilton & Sons Ltd of Larkhall, South Lanarkshire, has taken delivery of a Volvo L150H loading shovel as it embarks on a new, long term contract, handling residual waste on behalf of South Lanarkshire Council and Viridor. The new 25-tonne loading shovel has been fitted with a quick attachment bracket to facilitate the easy changeover of the standard 4.2 m³ bucket supplied with the machine, and a massive 12 m³ hi-tip bucket purchased specifically for handling residual (black bin waste). The machine has also been fitted with an optional under-slung counterweight for additional stability, an RDS weigh system and Groeneveld automatic greasing.
