Grundy & Co Excavations Ltd from Widnes recently took delivery of their first Tana Shark Slow Speed High Torque Mobile Shredder from Global Recycling Solutions Ltd, to shred wood and skip waste for their recently formed skip business “Grundy Skip Waste Ltd”
Sean Parry from Grundy’s commented, “We purchased the Tana Shark because of its unique versatility, in that a screen can be fitted under the rotor to create a small particle size for wood waste. The screen can then be easily and quickly removed for shredding skip waste”
Wear Parts are easily replaced keeping downtime to a minimum.The Shark is powered by a Caterpillar C15 540 hp Diesel Engine which drives the 3 metre long Rotor through a Load Sensing Hydrostatic System. This ensures optimum performance and protects the Rotor Knives when non crushable objects are encountered.

How much does your drivers’ choccy cost you?

Abbey Fuelcards has warned that turning a blind eye to minor unauthorised purchases quickly dents companies’ finances. Sales and marketing manager Steve Clarke said: “Some drivers think that including chocolate bars or cans of soft drinks on a diesel receipt is a ‘perk’ which will be overlooked. Querying it takes too long for the amounts involved and might appear petty. But, just a handful of drivers taking only £1 each per day comes to an annual bill of £1,300.”
Abbey Fuelcards users are immune to such unauthorised perks. Unlike some cards, Abbey Fuelcards cards are limited to approved purchases: fuel, lubricants, AdBlue etc. However important a skip hire driver might think their snack, they can not simply ‘add it to the bill’ when filling up.
Other security options can include automatic highlighting of out-of-hours use. It is part of Abbey Fuelcards tailored service, with 24/7 online account access and dedicated account managers. One weekly invoice, VAT-approved and meeting with the European 6th Directive, replaces drivers’ irregularly submitted handfuls of paper receipts, bringing major savings on administration time and costs.
Abbey Fuelcards are designed to drive down costs, giving savings on fuel through fixed weekly prices typically 2p to 3p below marked pump prices. Almost as importantly, Abbey Fuelcards deliver greater security to help in preventing fraud and card misuse, for improved peace of mind.
