Forge Recycling adds Hiab equipment to vehicle fleet

Forge Recycling, Leeds, U.K., has bolstered its 30-vehicle fleet with two new pieces of load handling equipment provided by Malmo, Sweden-based Hiab.

A company that provides waste management and recycling services, Forge says it has invested in Hiab’s Ultima 24S hookloader—fitted to a DAF CF truck—and a Futura FTR12 skiploader, which will be fitted to a DAF LF truck.

Forge says it expects the FTR12 skiploader to bolster its in-demand domestic skip service, while the 24S hookloader will support its waste management operation for commercial clients.

“We first purchased a piece of Hiab kit in 2017, and in the years that followed we have gone on to buy a further five pieces from them, which I think speaks for itself,” Forge Managing Director Harvey Mills says. “The product quality, high-spec features and value for money are simply undeniable and unmatched.”

According to Hiab, the Multilift Ultima 24S hookloader is a sliding hooklift with 24-ton capacity for four-axle trucks. Hiab’s Sequence Performance technology enables automatic sequence control via a single lever movement for loading, unloading and tipping.

The company says its Multilift Futura FTR12 skiploader ensures durability, professional aesthetics, top performance and safe, simple and efficient operation.

“Harvey and the Forge Recycling team are incredibly valued customers of ours and we’re delighted to see their business thriving and our equipment being able to support that journey,” says Dek Butler, Multilift specialist for Hiab U.K. “The Multilift range offers more than powerful lifters. It is a collection of equipment built to perform swiftly and precisely, using the latest smart technology to exceed safety standards and productivity expectations.”
