"Not
all interesting new products had to be large to be impressive. Seen for
the first time in Europe, the Icelandic-designed, electrically activated
Isbjorn binlifter system from Ecoprocess was, for me, the star of the
show. This was because of the operational advantages such a unit could
facilitate. A quiet binlifter sounds like a contradiction in terms, but
without the need to power up a hydraulic system, the unit can work while
the collection vehicle’s power unit remains at tickover. Even the
design is people-friendly, with each fully enclosed lifter protected
by a ‘soft’ shaped shroud. The side wings give added protection
and create a natural barrier to prevent passers-by getting too close.
If they do, the machine has a built-in safety stop device that halts
the lift instantly. Production has started at a new plant in Nantes,
France."
