Baker Iron & Metal Co. of Lexington, Ky., is now operating a Harris GS 11 baler/logger/shear that was recently installed at its yard. “We have a couple of Harris machines including an HRB, and Harris equipment does the job, plain and simple; that is the main reason for purchase of the shear,” says Don Mynear, Safety and HR Manager for Baker Iron & Metal Co.
Baker Iron & Metal Co., which has been in business since 1921, handles all types of ferrous and nonferrous scrap. The ISO 9001-certified company is part of Cohen Bros. Inc., Middletown, Ohio.
The GS11 and GS series baler/logger/shears have horizontal mounted pumps and independent load tables designed to allow for more visual inspection of material by the operator when material is dumped into the charging box. Harris also incorporates an OIT control panel with basic commands, operational information and diagnostics. Production reporting is also included, according to news release from Harris.
The Harris GS models use a clamshell box designed for superior trapping and sizing of bulky material.
