Its a regular diesel truck with a towing crane on it. What is the official name of the crane?
Sling truck. its just a crane with pads and chains to attach to the vehicle. I would think it is atleast a f250 or 350. a 150 wouldnt be strong enough.

Waste plans; Your say…

HAVING recently returned to Plymouth I am very interested in the arguments against the waste incinerator. not fully understanding the various techniques available but having read about them in the Herald.
On a visit to the Lake District I read an article titled, What a waste? Don’t believe it.
In Cumbria they are using two plants in partnership with Shanks Waste Management on a 25 year partnership from 2009.
To use a process called Mechanical Biological Treatment(MBT), the plants take out useful, recyclable materials and turn the rest into a new fuel.
It works by first the waste from the bins is taken to the plants, where it is dropped in reception area, next a crane lifts it into a shredder, breaking into smaller fragments, this is then placed in pyramid piles on a drying floor, where air is sucked through, this causes further breakdown and drying out.
When dry it goes through a series of screens to separate different materials. Metals are taken out by magnets and electric currents for recycling.
Glass and stone fall through sieves to be used as aggregates, other material is composted.
Left over is very low quality paper, card and plastic no good for recycling so is used as a solid fuel with two thirds calorific value of coal.
When the second plant is online in 2013 they will be producing 80,000 tonnes of this solid fuel per year.
They are also working with six other countries.
It’s not rubbish its a resource. it would appear a much safer environmentally process and also uses all waste collected.
Perhaps someone from the city council could explain why this wasn”t suitable for Devon and Cornwall or was it ever considered? A BATTERSHILL Higher St Budeaux A spokesman for the South West Devon Waste Partnership responded: “All three councils – Devon, Torbay and Plymouth – looked at different types of waste treatment (including MBT) separately and then as a partnership. each concluded it wasn”t suitable for a number of reasons including: the fact that there is still waste at the end of the treatment that will need treating, usually through incineration, costs more and it requires a large site to undertake the operations.
The full explanation of the options considered is on the partnership website swdwp.co.uk.
