On completion of a successful demo and the Hitachi product being dubbed reliable and robust within the waste application sector;the team at Remondis made the decision to commit to the ZW180-6 waste handling spec machine for loading and carrying operations at the plant.

Built bespoke for the application, the machine comprised of foam filled tyres, light and screen guards and finally a full paint job to fit in with the company’s corporate colours!
