One of the UK’s leading waste and recycling equipment hirers has invested in a fleet of JCB electric Teletruks.

Coventry-based Wastemasters Group has taken delivery of three new JCB 35-22E Teletruk models.

They join its massive fleet of more than 80 JCB Wastemaster machines which the company hires to waste and recycling customers across the UK.

Wastemasters Group Director, Paul Labram said: “We are always looking for ways to help our customers to reduce their carbon footprint.

“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.

“JCB has been a proven product for us for over 30 years, and we have always had great support from Gunn JCB maintaining our hire fleets throughout the country.”

Supplied by dealer Gunn JCB, the JCB 35-22E electric Teletruk is part of a new generation of innovative products from the JCB E-TECH range of equipment, which deliver zero emissions at point of use without compromising performance.

The forward reach electric forklift features a unique telescopic boom and is capable of a full 8-hour shift on a single charge.

Its small turning circle and single side-loading capability make it more productive on materials handling work, 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.

The three new JCB electric Teletruk models join an exclusively JCB fleet of machines which also includes waste specification wheeled loading shovels, Loadall telescopic handlers, backhoe loaders, diesel Teletruks, excavators and materials handlers.
