Streamlined Waste Sorting at our Recycling Centre
RF Recycling Streamline Sorting & Recycling with a New Kobelco 8 Tonne Excavator

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.


The selector grab will make light work of sorting through waste and segregating materials ready for recycling - helping us to maintain our zero waste to landfill policy.
Continued re-investment from the RF Group enables us to be one of the South’s leading Skip Hire and Waste Removal companies you can rely on.
