Komatsu wheeled loaders head to UK
31.12.69
Powered by four and six cylinder Komatsu engines, meeting stage 3a emission regulations, four models make up the agricultural range from 98hp to 170hp. The machines are based on the manufacturer’s existing line-up of construction machines - the main differences being tyres, a central lubrication system, additional air intake grills and an engine pre-cleaner, which are all fitted as standard.
Loader duties
Marubeni’s (UK Komatsu importer) Edward Prosser says: “The 170hp, WA320PZ-6 model is likely to be the most popular. It can handle all general loader duties, including buck-raking, muck moving and grain handling.”
All models employ a four-speed, electronically controlled, hydrostatic transmission with adjustable speed limit, and traction control to reduce wheel slip and reduce tyre wear. The agricultural spec machines also receive larger cabs, with climate control and a heated air suspended seat as standard.

Hyundai Wheel Loader Provides Lifting for Port Murray
31.12.69
When Port Murray Auto Salvage Inc. went looking for a powerful, compact new wheel loader, it turned to Harter Equipment to provide the solution.
Established in 1976, Port Murray Auto Salvage focuses on selling used car and truck parts to wholesale and retail outlets. Port Murray picks up used vehicles or has them delivered to their facility where they disassemble the vehicles and store the parts.
Its salvage yard, set back from the road in the northwestern New Jersey mountainside, is not your typical large junkyard. It is a small, well-organized lot with racks of car parts, pickup truck beds, car front-ends, transmissions and more. The yard also has rows of cars and pickups that are stored for parts.

Liugong Wheel Loader, Excavator Shine at Construction and Demolition Recycling ...
31.12.69
Just on the outskirts of New York City is the town of North Bergen, N.J. the home of Eagle Recycling. Unless one’s property borders the vast construction and demolition recycling center or works there, it would be very easy to drive through North Bergen and not even know the company existed. While this might be detrimental to many businesses, for Eagle Recycling it’s a feather in their cap.
"To run a recycling center for construction and demolition debris and not have large dust plumes and noise drawing negative attention to the facility is something we take great pride in," said Anthony Marangi, general manager of Eagle Recycling.
Eagle Recycling was established in 2003 by Nicholas Marangi, whose vision for the company was for it to become New Jersey’s premier and greenest construction and demolition recycling center. Today that vision is carried out by his cousin Anthony Marangi and long time operations manager Silvio Cejas. When the company incorporated in 2003, it began renting its current facility located at 4711 Dell Avenue in North Bergen. Prior to Eagles acquisition of the building, it was used as a municipal recycling center, which primarily processed household waste. Since that time the facility has been completely reconfigured to suit the efficient processing of dry construction and demolition debris such as wood, concrete, cardboard, drywall, tires, metal, plastic, construction and demolition fine and various types of wire and cable.
