GENESIS OFFERS BOOM FRONTS
Genesis Attachments, Superior, Wis., has introduced a new program that enters it into the business of making heavy-duty, two-piece and three-piece boom fronts.
"There is clearly an urgent need for this type of equipment in today’s highly competitive scrap yard," says David Palvere, Genesis’ used equipment manager. "We are poised to provide both turnkey packages and individual components for immediate bottom-line impact. In addition to a range of material handling makes and sizes—specifically material handlers in the 20- to 85-ton range—we are offering scrap professionals extremely quick access to additional equipment to maximize production."
Equipment to which Palvere refers includes:
• Two-piece and three-piece boom fronts, matched to the customer’s choice of excavator. Two-piece booms offer a hooked stick design to maximize grapple clearance.
• Orange-peel scrap grapples designed for fast, efficient movement and load-out of on-site material. Grapples feature standard 360-degree rotation, high-strength steel construction, high-pressure hydraulic components and sizes from .75 to 2 cubic yards.
• Cab risers for increased operator visibility. Risers are available as a fixed-cab design to raise up to 8 feet or in a manual-tilt riser design in heights of 48, 60 and 72 inches.
• Additional counterweight kits.
• The full line of Genesis XP Series mobile shears.
Genesis’ Material Handling Program will provide components and full turnkey packages for major excavator brands including Caterpillar, Komatsu, Liebherr and Hitachi.
Genesis Attachments, a Paladin company, is a leading manufacturer of hydraulic attachments for use in demolition, scrap processing, reconstruction, utility and waste handling operations. More information on the company can be found on the Web at www.genesisattachments.com.
NORTHWEST RECYCLING TO INSTALL SHREDDER
Northwest Recycling of Houston, owned by John Newell of Newell Cos. and Alan Walker, has announced a major expansion with the installation of a full-service steel scrap recycling facility on the Port of Houston. This plant will be a 23-acre, $25 million facility located on deep water at the Houston Ship Channel and will feature a 124 SXS shredder from The Shredder Co. LLC, Canutillo, Texas. The plant will handle all grades of ferrous and nonferrous metals.
The additional location, along with the new shredder, will allow Northwest Recycling to develop its full potential as the premier scrap processor for the Gulf Coast area, according to the company.
The 7,000-hp shredder uses a 3660DFR smart feeding system, which allows for processing surges of up to 400 tons per hour, according to The Shredder Co.

SENNEBOGEN 340G telehandler improves the view in Macon County, NC
An elevated cab is one of several features improving operational efficiency at the Macon County Solid Waste Management agency in North Carolina. When it comes to waste management, efficiency, safety and reliability are priorities driving decisions from day one, according to staff members of the Macon County Solid Waste Management Department in western North Carolina. The agency operates a recycling plant in a facility originally designed to bale incoming materials. More recently, the building has undergone significant transformations centered around one machine: a SENNEBOGEN telehandler (telescopic handler).
The shredder is designed to process a high percentage of No. 1 and No. 2 scrap steel and will handle bales of steel scrap.
M&M MACHINERY NAMED SENNEBOGEN DISTRIBUTOR

Constantino Lannes, president of Sennebogen North America, based in Charlotte, N.C., has announced that M&M Machinery LLC has been appointed recently to the distributor network for Sennebogen Green Line machines and will serve New York and Central Pennsylvania.

"When we were initially approached, we wondered about Marc Olgin’s request," Lannes says. "However, after discussion with him, we realized the excellence of his overall business plan. Furthermore, Marc has the ability to appreciate what customers are looking for from both a sales and service standpoint and understands their needs. Marc’s expectations for quality are no less than ours."
