# New JCB Hydradig is a big plus for waste specialist

    Louise Carney  ·   1 minute read

Two new JCB Hydradigs have been earning their keep from day one of their delivery to a waste management company in Northern Ireland – thanks to their ability to do multiple jobs.

Purchased by Portadown-based ABC Waste Management, the JCB Hydradig 110W Plus was supplied by dealer Dennison JCB. It joins a JCB TM320 Wastemaster, a JCB 560-80 Wastemaster Loadall, a JCB JS20MH materials handler and JCB 150X tracked excavator in the company’s fleet.

ABC Waste Management Managing Director, Bobby Jameson said: “JCB machines are superior in build quality which we need as we operate in a harsh environment. We like to spec them up, so they’re well protected for what they have to do.

“One of the biggest plusses of the new Hydradig is the versatility – in a single day it may bale cardboard, work on our picking line and clean up the yard. The new model’s ability to handle material, dig and travel at speed means there is no limit to the number of jobs it can do. Everything has been well thought through so it can do many different tasks, powering multiple attachments.

"Health and safety was also one of the main reasons for choosing the Hydradig Plus. The 360° visibility means the driver can see anyone standing behind him as he can see all around the machine. The manoeuvrability is excellent too, the machine can move all around the yard with ease. We're really impressed with it."

The JCB Hydradig Plus offers a tailored mix of specification to suit customers and boost comfort levels for operators. The machine has the JCB Smooth Ride System, single point axle greasing, reverse steering and two low-flow auxiliary lines as standard. In the upgraded cab, the operator gets a deluxe air suspension seat and a Bluetooth radio with an LED work light package and a refuelling pump. ABC have added a bucket ram guard and reversible fan for added protection in the harsh waste environment.

The machine is powered by a Stage V compliant EcoMAX diesel engine, delivering 81kW, with a hydrostatic transmission. With an operating weight of 11-13 tonnes, depending on specification, the Hydradig provides a maximum roading speed of 40kph, making it easy to transfer between work sites.

Established in 2008, ABC Waste Management offers a range of waste management services including skip hire, hazards disposal and baling to both residential and commercial customers from its base in Portadown, Northern Ireland.
