June 27, 2011
Lencrow Materials Handling has delivered two new FDC450S4 container handling forklifts
to the Veolia waste management site in Clyde, NSW.
Lencrow Managing Director Ross Grassick says the units will be used to load the
400,000 tones of waste annually transported to the Woodlawn bio reactor site.
“The waste is placed in landfill cover and the gas is collected and used to produce electricity,” Grassick says.
According to Lencrow, the Terex product formally known as Fantuzzi, is perfect for the Veolia business.
“Terex was our first choice in a machine for this application,”
Grassick expains. “We’ve known Terex for a long time and have always been impressed with the attention to detail in its machines.
“We’ve also found them to be very economical, with low running costs.”
Lencrow purchased the first Fantuzzi machine in Australia in 1994. Grassick says the original unit is still operational today
at a transport yard in Sydney.
The units provided to Veolia suit the requirement for purpose-built 40’ containers with a capacity of 38,000kgs under the twist locks.
“The units will be used in both compaction and loading and unloading of railway cars,” Grassick says.
Terex Port Equipment General Manager Michael Kidd says he has full confidence in the Lencrow Group as one of his sales and service dealers.
“Lencrow offers a wide range of port products and has the ability to provide product advice to customers and after sales support,” he says.
“The team at Lencrow has over thirty years experience in materials handling and much of that has been involved with reach stacker and container handling forklifts.”
