Brush & Leaf Collection Now Features Hydradig

Our Public Works crew has a new tool in its arsenal of collection equipment: the JCB Hydradig 110W. JCB calls this excavator a wheeled tool carrier. The engine, transmission and tanks are in the chassis rather than the upper structure—a safety feature that allows the driver to see all four wheels from inside the cab. Its design also makes the machine more stable because it has a lower center of gravity.

Like the Department’s Petersen Rear Steer Grappler, the equipment was partially funded by a Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) Recycling Grant, Act 101, Section 902.

The next monthly round of Brush and Leaf Collection will begin at 7 am Monday, August 5.
