RF Recycling Streamline Sorting & Recycling with a New Kobelco 8 Tonne Excavator

New kobelco grab digger at RF Recycling Group in Wiltshire

Early 2026 sees the arrival of a new 8 tonne Kobelco excavator at the RF Recycling Centre in Fordingbridge, Hampshire.


The Kobelco excavator will aid in the sorting of all kinds of waste that come in to our Recycling Centre. Either from items that have been removed from private land due to fly tipping to scrap metal arriving via our skip hire services across the South of the UK. Opting for a 360 degree selector grab, our yard operators can breeze through sorting tasks improving efficiency by over 30%.


Kobelco excavators are high-performance construction machines produced by Kobelco Construction Machinery Co. renowned for specialising in hydraulic crawler excavators. Drawing on over 80 years of experience, they are highly regarded for superior fuel efficiency, advanced hydraulics, low-noise technology, and durable build quality. Using integrated noise and dust reduction, these machines are both quiet and extremely fuel efficient helping make savings on our local environmental impact and running costs - all savings we can pass on to customers in future.
