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).

Sutherland previously worked for Ingersoll-Rand as a Dallas regional manager for that company. "Scott brings a successful track record in the construction equipment industry to the company," says Mike Davis, LBX director of marketing and sales.

McAdoo previously worked with Link-Belt distributor Performance Machinery, Bozeman, Mont. "Larry brings a strong knowledge of the construction market from a dealer’s perspective and understands that customer satisfaction is our key to success," says LBX senior excavator product manager Loren Heaney.
