Environment & Recycling

Recycling centers, waste transfer stations and biomass facilities operate in some of the harshest environments: abrasive materials, corrosive organic waste and high dust levels. HAMAC equipment solutions — including recycling telehandlers and heavy-duty forklifts — are engineered to deliver robust performance and reliability under these demanding conditions.

Scrap & Waste Sorting with Telehandlers

Efficient scrap and waste sorting is at the heart of modern recycling plants. HAMAC telehandlers equipped with hydraulic grapples and heavy-duty buckets provide powerful, flexible handling across metal, plastic and paper streams.

• Use Waste Handling Telehandlers with grapples to pick, sort and stack scrap metal, plastic or paper bales safely.
• Load industrial shredders, balers and compactors quickly by feeding them with telehandler buckets or clamps.
• Operate across uneven ground, stockpiles and transfer station floors thanks to strong chassis and off-road capability.

With the right attachments, telehandlers become central machines for scrap and waste handling, supporting higher throughput and safer operations in recycling centers and municipal facilities.

Biomass & Composting in Corrosive Environments

Biomass and composting sites deal with moist, organic materials that can be corrosive and produce aggressive atmospheres. HAMAC machines can be customized for these conditions to extend service life and maintain reliability.

• Apply anti-corrosion coatings on key structural and exposed components to resist organic acids and moisture.
• Use advanced filtration systems to protect engines and hydraulics from fine organic particles and vapor.
• Handle biomass, green waste and compost piles with high-capacity buckets and grapples built for heavy, sticky materials.

These configurations allow telehandlers and loaders to work continuously in biomass plants and large composting operations without excessive wear, supporting renewable energy and organics recycling projects.

High-Dust Operations with Heavy-Duty Forklifts

Scrapyards and recycling warehouses often generate extreme levels of airborne dust and debris that can damage equipment. HAMAC heavy-duty forklifts are available with specialized air pre-cleaners and protective options for these environments.

• Fit heavy-duty forklifts with air pre-cleaners and upgraded filtration to keep engines running smoothly in dusty plants.
• Use reinforced cooling and guarding packages to protect radiators, filters and key components from debris build-up.
• Handle waste containers, bales and bins through sorting, shredding and compacting stages with dedicated clamps and rotators.

By pairing strong chassis and protective systems with the right attachments, HAMAC forklifts support high-dust recycling operations while minimizing unplanned downtime and maintenance costs.
