A Look at Specialized Heavy equipment for Waste handling-loaders, excavators, & garbage trucks

What happens here

The video moves to Chris, another Volvo representative, showcasing the L120H Wheel Loader, a typical loader specialized for the waste industry. Chris highlights its solid rubber tires, designed to withstand punctures from debris commonly found in waste sites, costing tens of thousands of dollars each. He also points out the long boom, which provides extended reach, allowing the machine to keep a safer distance from material and stack it higher for storage or loading into larger trucks/train cars. The loader features extensive guarding, including steel belly pans for the entire underside of the frame to protect against punctures, and shielded vital components. A shorter, guarded headlight bracket also reduces the risk of damage.

Goal: Demonstrate the Volvo L120H Wheel Loader's waste management adaptations

and go check out the next [Music] so we're going to continue to talk about the 120 and it features that we've always had in it but also talked about how this machine has been Specter the industry 120 this is your typical loader with specialized components Bryce is one of them right so this gravel bucket is designed for garbage it can be it's a four and a quarter yard bucket a load wise but then we can add the grapple you can push out almost seven yards this obviously the grapple grabs we do have some of our own we just decided to use Benetton this time but we have our own waste buckets as well so then the linkage stays the same as your l1 your typical dirt configuration about right with waste we do what we call a long booth so basically the booms a little bit longer while on Beaufort place reach basically it keeps the Machine a little bit further away what work would this machine do so think of when you have the garbage trucks going around picking up residential stuff they'll come back to a transfer station they dump out at the transfer station and we have our machines basically shoved shoving the material into larger trucks to ship somewhere or train cars the long boom also additionally can stack better because you can you can ramp up material higher if you have to store material for you know okay while it's waiting it loaded out somewhere else and then that brings us to this component which mandatory pretty much you can imagine what you what we throw away even and then you take into account maybe construction and demolition debris that finds its way into the trash and stuff like that you could figure air tires they're not gonna make it like so if we look right behind you up right here look at this these are the tires that I run on my trucks so when I go into the DOM it's mandatory as soon as you get out of the dump you don't go down the road without going through your tire and pulling nails off and pray right right I mean that is what happens because you you fill them up with nails debris glass I mean it's just terrible how much the tire like that cost tens of thousands of dollars yeah I was gonna say this is probably an eight thousand dollar tire right but if you think of the way or characteristics they actually add weight to the machine so we don't have to add extra counterweight then the tires kind of do that work for us they're so heavy yeah I mean it's not like you can put a jack under and change that tire it's also to manage office this is a whole…
