The company recycles around 100,000t of glass per year, with the company recently adding a Bobcat MT55 mini track loader to its machinery fleet, which due to its compact size is ideal for working in very confined spaces. Antonio Hernandez, purchasing and logistics manager at Santos Jorge, comments: “We needed to clean all the way to the corners under the belts that transport the glass and for this a super compact machine was essential. Since we have been working with this Bobcat mini track loader, we no longer have to clean by hand with a shovel and brush, which has resulted in a comfortable, faster, more efficient and safer way of operating, and this also allows us to more easily keep cleaning and maintenance up to date, without accumulating glass debris.

“With the bucket on the loader we also load the glass waste into containers and with a custom made stacker, we clean corners that it is impossible to reach with any other machine as the cabs would get in the way. Basically this is the only model that allows us to access certain spaces in our facilities. And another noticeable advantage is that it is very easy to work with it.” Currently, the loader is performing maintenance on all the low and narrow corners of the recycling plant, performing maintenance on about 600m2 of operating space.

With regards to the MT55, Bobcat states that operators highlight its lightness, ease of use, compactness, manoeuvrability, and its very good breakout force for a machine of its size, as well as its nominal load capacity of 254kg. Prior to the purchase of the MT55, Bobcat Of, the official Bobcat distributor, carried out a demonstration for Santos Jorge, showing the most suitable solution for the business. Improvement has been evident, with less labour for the same results and with greater efficiency and speed.

Antonio Hernandez added: “Whenever we have had a need, Bobcat Of has provided us with a good proposal, which is why we trust their team. They provide us with a good service both in advising us in the face of problems, and through their technical service. “We also have a Bobcat S450 loader that has been in service for a few years now, equipped with a sweeper attachment, for other maintenance work in larger areas, with which we are also very satisfied.”

Bobcat states that its skid steer loaders are characterised by their small dimensions and great agility and combined with their traction and lifting capacities they overcome the difficulties of manoeuvring in confined spaces with ease and speed. Bobcat has recently launched the company’s latest mini track loader, the MT100, with a rated capacity of 460kg, a tipping load of 1,314kg, a powerful breakout force and a lifting height of 2,057mm.
