Geesink Norba in Scotland
By admin
Changes sweeping through the waste management and recycling industry are creating major opportunities in Scotland and Geesink Norba is well placed to take advantage of them says Hugh Robertson.
Hugh spearheads Geesink Norba in Scotland where the company has been operating for 25 years and during 20 years in the role he has witnessed enormous changes.
“Once we threw our waste into a landfill site – now we recycle at every opportunity and put what once was rubbish to good use,” said Hugh
“That presents enormous challenges to local authorities and businesses and great opportunities for RCV manufacturers. At Geesink Norba we’re particularly well placed to take advantage of this with the biggest range of quality products of any manufacturer in the country – and we’ve got some revolutionary products coming soon.”
“The Geesink Norba MF300 Multifraction Rear Loader is the preferred vehicle for recycling in Scotland. It has been tried and tested and came out top every time but we’ve also introduced some very clever technology which leads to great improvements in efficiency and makes it even easier to use.”
The Smart Pack System™ – unique to Geesink Norba – allows control of the bin-lift speed and other functions to be independent of the loading weight. Automatic sensors determine how much pressure is needed and this provides fuel savings. Controls, including adjustment of key operational variables such as the compaction parameters, are all in the cab.
The two sealed bodies are entirely independent of each other with their own compaction and ejection plates. The independent tailgates prevent cross-contamination between the different waste factions.
“The MF300 range is available in 12 body sizes with open back, manual single trade hoist or fully automatic bin hoist specifications and all fully compliant with the new CE category 3 standards regulations making the MF300 a very forward-looking and safe product range,” said Hugh.
Yet far from resting on their laurels, Geesink Norba has several other developments in the pipeline, including a groundbreaking diesel-electric hybrid vehicle. This begins UK trials early in the new year – watch this space.
