PMG Services cleans up with new Hyundai HW210A

With environmental concerns at the top of the agenda, a provider of operated vehicle hire for the waste management sector has turned to Hyundai’s new generation A-Series wheeled excavators to streamline processes at its waste recycling facility. 

Bristol-based PMG Services is committed to alleviating the environmental impact of its customers’ operations, from cleaning, to removal and safe disposal of waste, through to recycling of materials wherever possible. Last year it processed 18,000 tonnes of road sweeper and gully waste, diverting it away from landfill. 

The company purchased the Hyundai HW210A wheeled excavator with Stage 5 engine for loading its recycling plants and lorries with the stone and sand that is produced from the plant for reuse in the construction industry and tidying up the yard – and it is a proving a vital tool for the company so far. As PMG Services Assistant Operations Manager, Paul McGuinness said, “We’ve become highly dependent on the Hyundai HW210A wheeled excavator, it’s a crucial cog in the wheel. Without it, we would be lost!

“The cab in the new A-series is a lot more spacious and offers great visibility. You’re higher up so you can see more. You’ve also got the 360-camera system with the radar which helps you to see who's around you. And it pings up when someone comes into your space,” Paul continued. “With the bigger windows and more glass, you can see further so you don’t have to rely on the cameras but they provide great reassurance when needed.  

“The controls in the Hyundai are really smooth and sharp which is great for when you're operating. Productivity is also really good with the machine,” Paul added. “It's a bigger machine and the bucket is bigger so you can carry more, load faster and it’s more powerful which makes the job a lot easier and quicker.  

“We’ve taken out the service package with Molson Group and they come and do the maintenance on the machine, and we do daily checks and make sure that the machine’s safe and operational. To do the data checks on the new machine is a lot easier. I would strongly recommend Hyundai; the brand was recommended to us and I would pass that on as we’ve had great service,” Paul said.

Part of the Hyundai A-Series excavator range, the HW210A is equipped with a fuel-efficient Cummins B6.7 Stage 5 engine. Its 6-cylinder configuration delivers 31% more peak torque and 5% more peak power than its predecessor. Hyundai’s EPFC hydraulic system, in conjunction with variable power control, allows the machine to deliver the exact performance needed.
