Genesis’ material handling programme

In response to growing demand from scrap recycling customers, Genesis Attachments has introduced a new programme designed to improve the availability of high-performance, production-driven material handling systems and equipment.
Drivers behind this new development include solid scrap market conditions and a corresponding need to quickly move material through the yard. ’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 turn-key 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 maximise production.’€™
The equipment to which Mr Palvere refers includes:
* Heavy-duty two- or three-piece boom fronts matched to the customer’€™s choice of excavator. Two-piece booms offer a hooked stick design to maximise grapple clearance.
* Orange-peel scrap grapples for fast, efficient movement and load-out of on-site material. Grapples feature standard 360 deg rotation, high-strength steel construction, high-pressure hydraulic components, and availability in sizes from 0.75 to 2 cubic yards.
* Cab risers for exceptional operator visibility. Risers are available as a fixed-cab design or in a manual-tilt riser design in heights of 48, 60 and 72 inches.
* Additional counterweight kits.
* The full complement of Genesis XP Series mobile shears.
The Genesis material handling programme will provide both components and full turnkey packages for all major excavator brands including Caterpillar, Komatsu, Liebherr and Hitachi. Every material handling package will be shipped with all necessary hydraulic plumbing installed ‘€˜so it is jobsite-ready upon delivery’€™, noted Genesis.
