In the United Kingdom, efficient waste management is essential for environmental sustainability and public health. Waste grabs, often powered by hydraulics, play a crucial role in handling and disposing of waste materials. However, like any machinery, they require regular maintenance and, at times, hydraulic upgrades to operate optimally. In this blog, we will explore the importance of waste grab repairs and hydraulic upgrades in the UK.
As the world's population grows, so does our general waste output. London alone produces between 1.5 million to 1.75 million tonnes of food waste per year. That's a lot of waste, and if it goes to landfill, then it has a huge impact on the environment. If this residual waste is burnt in the open air, then it produces carbon dioxide, further harming our planet.
To be able to burn waste at energy from waste power stations, waste grabs must be fully maintained. A grab refurbishment is like a car MOT on steroids. You can do the bare minimum, or you can upgrade hydraulic faults and solve wear issues to dramatically increase the working hours thus reducing downtime.
