Landfill specialist Al-Jon takes the Advantage
Landfill compactor specialist Al-Jon has announced details of its
new Advantage range. The Advantage 500E has a gross weight of 45t
and is fitted with a 375kW (500hp) John Deere engine powering the
hydrostatic drive.
The range has been redesigned with a quieter, more efficient
driveline, higher air flow for cooling, increased visibility and
the option of joystick control.
Al-Jon's I Beam wheels accept the latest bolt-on version (removing
the need for on-site welding when replacing the teeth) of the
Macpactor Diamond tooth design, which is guaranteed for
10,000hrs.
The first of these machines has been delivered to Cory
Environmental and a second to Devon Waste Management.
At the heavier end of the range is the 58t Advantage 600, said to
be the biggest landfill compactor in the world. In the US, it is a
best seller and the company believes it will be adopted in the UK
too.
