Waste-management firm invests in new JCB equipment

Countrystyle Recycling take delivery of four 457 wheel loaders from Greenshields JCB  

KENT-based Countrystyle Recycling say they have further improved their on-site handling efficiency at their flagship waste-recycling facility, in Sittingbourne, with the introduction of four new JCB 457 wheel loaders. 

As part of Countrystyle’s ongoing commitment to promoting health and safety in the waste sector, two of the JCB machines have been supplied with BMAir cabin air-filtration technology during operations. The BMAir system prevents polluted air entering the cabin and allows air quality within the operator’s working space to be continuously monitored. 

All of the JCB 457 loaders are equipped with automatic dual agent fire suppression systems (supplied by Fireward), LED lighting and foam filled tyres to ensure on-site safety and machine uptime is optimized. 

Powered by an MTU diesel engine that meets Stage IV/Tier 4 emissions, the machines have been designed to work on site where large volumes of materials need to be handled. The JCB 457 is available in a variety of model configurations – all built with safety, efficiency, maintenance, productivity, reliability and comfort in mind. 

Neil Webb, engineering and project manager for Countrystyle, said: ‘The build quality of the JCB machines is second to none. We already operate a number of JCB machines, including telehandlers and excavators, at our Sittingbourne site so we had no hesitation in turning to JCB for the new wheel loaders.’
