Sustainable Solutions

Wastemasters Group has long been a trusted name in the waste and recycling industry, known for its dedication to hiring efficient and reliable equipment to customers across the UK. The company’s latest investment in the JCB 35-22E Teletruk models aligns perfectly with its commitment to reducing carbon footprints and enhancing operational efficiency. As Wastemasters Group Director, Paul Labram explains: “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 proven diesel Teletruk that is a massive hit in the industry.”

These electric Teletruks are already a hit with Wastemasters Group’s recycling customers, with potentially wider appeal on the horizon. Paul Labram anticipates their appeal will extend far beyond this sector: “I also expect these new electric machines to become a lot more popular in the warehousing sector too, as they will be a perfect fit for loading and unloading the palletised goods in the indoor environment.” The versatility of the Teletruk, combined with its ability to operate multiple attachments, makes it an ideal choice for various applications, from handling materials at recycling sites to managing goods at builders’ merchants.

Proven Technology

Wastemasters Group’s fleet now includes over 80 JCB machines, underscoring the company’s confidence in JCB’s engineering excellence. The line-up comprises a range of specialised equipment tailored to the demanding needs of the waste and recycling sector. Among the machines are JCB 437 and 457 Wastemaster wheeled loading shovels, JCB 560-80 Wastemaster Loadalls, a JCB 5CXWastemaster backhoe loader and the JCB JS20MH Materials Handler.

The addition of the JCB 35-22E Teletruk models, joining existing diesel-powered Teletruks, represents the next step in Wastemasters Group’s ongoing evolution. These electric Teletruks are part of JCB’s innovative E-TECH range, which delivers zero emissions at the point of use while maintaining exceptional performance standards. Capable of a full 8-hour shift on a single charge, the 35-22E Teletruk combines power with environmental responsibility. They build on the success the company has seen from existing diesel-powered Teletruks. These forward reach, electric forklifts feature a unique telescopic boom, enabling efficient material handling even in confined spaces.

The Teletruk is a big hit with our customers as it is a lot more productive and versatile than a standard mast forklift - with the ability to power multiple attachments a real bonus.
