Reducing fuel costs: Denver's All Recycling Inc. builds a fleet of Fuchs scrap handlers.Craig and Scot Uhrig have worked hard to help build All Recycling Inc. into a growing scrap recycling firm serving Denver and the surrounding Front Range region. Along with that growth has come the need to upgrade operations, with a key ally in those efforts being the line of scrap handlers handlers persons involved in the handling of, for example, circus animals.

The difference between ferrous and ferric is the number of valence electrons they contain (ferrous contains two and ferric contains three), which scrap recycling capabilities in order to provide a full range of services to customers. That decision lead to an increase in material and a need for additional processing equipment (most notably a shredder) and the accompanying material handling equipment, which meant replacing All Recycling's older mobile handling equipment with new, purpose-built machines. "For every two converted excavators we used to run, we now have one purpose-built Fuchs machine in its place," says Scot. Whether measuring productivity, reliability, operator comfort or fuel efficiency, the Terex Fuchs machines have out-performed other brands of material handlers All Recycling has tried or considered. The company now runs five Fuchs 360 rubber-tired scrap handlers and one Fuchs RHL RHL Red Hat Linux RHL Roller Hockey League RHL Rhodes House Library (Oxford University; UK) RHL Richardson-Hill Ltd (London, UK) 350 tracked model that it takes to demolition sites and other on-site projects. "The reliability has been absolutely great," says Scot. "The mobility is critical because these machines are multi-tasking," he says, noting that the wheeled machines are used interchangeably to load and unload material and to feed processing equipment.
