Jumbo is a family-owned local waste management business that offers a diverse selection of skip bins, hook bins, site bins, portable toilets and similar equipment for hire throughout the Greater Brisbane area and the Sunshine Coast. Its close-knit team is dedicated to delivering a friendly and competitive service to both individuals and businesses. Jumbo’s bins are available in various sizes and are suitable for a range of applications.
Moreton Bay Recycling is also part of the Jumbo Group, a concrete disposal and recycling facility located in Narangba, north of Brisbane.
It accepts clean concrete waste generated from construction and demolition projects and processes it on-site to produce high-quality recycled concrete products available for pickup or delivery.
To enhance the recycling capabilities at Jumbo, the company is in the process of establishing a resource recovery facility that will sort waste materials for further recycling.
This facility will feature the new Anaconda scalping screen, which will be used to screen construction and demolition waste.
The Anaconda DF410 has been paired with two Onetrak rental machines: the Hidromek HMK640 wheel loader and the HMK145 excavator.
Jumbo is already familiar with Anaconda through its partnership with Moreton Bay Recycling, as the recycling company currently owns an Anaconda stacker. This familiarity extends to the Onetrak team, who provide service and support. The territory manager frequently visits to check on any additional business needs.

When asked how they first connected with Onetrak, a spokesperson said, “We have previously requested quotes from various staff, including for the Fuchs Material Handlers, known as one of the top brands in the market, which we will certainly consider in the future, when ready.”
The decision to collaborate with Onetrak and Anaconda was straightforward due to their established relationships. When Jumb chose to incorporate a scalping screen into its fleet, it explored several options. It was operating on a tight budget and needed a compact machine to fit onsite posed challenges.
Ultimately, the company found no competitor that could meet its specifications, which included needing an overband magnet as part of the unit. The team at Jumbo has provided positive feedback about the Anaconda machine. Chad Burnham, Jumbo’s recycling supervisor, noted that the machine runs well, and it is easy to maintain with routine maintenance such as greasing and lubricating. Initially, the magnet required repositioning on the belt, due to the size of the product. Since this issue has been resolved the machine has been running smoothly.
He also suggested adding more platforms for staff to monitor the belts, which Onetrak will relay back to the factory.
Ian Brooks, Jumbo’s fleet manager, reports that this machine is doing the job it was built to do.
He hasn’t had much time to have a thorough look over the machine as yet, but it appears to be well built.
He also mentioned that Trent Gaiero, the field service technician at Onetrak, has been helpful with responding to technical questions, and he has been training them on the machines’ functionality.
The team are also impressed with Hidromek. They have experience with various brands and appreciate how the Hidromek provides the fine motor control needed when using the grab attachment for picking up debris, which allows for precise handling like an extension of their own hand. As for maintenance, since everything is still relatively new, it has been straightforward with no issues. The equipment is robust and requires minimal upkeep, following a simple maintenance schedule.
Shane Gatehouse, the recycling operator at Jumbo, brings more than 20 years of expertise in operating this machine for sorting construction and demolition (C&D) waste. He states, “It’s the best machine I’ve ever used.”
“This machine is very well built, with solid construction,” said Brooks “The machine allows you to easily change parameters and it is very user friendly.”
Onetrak is eager to maintain its partnership with Jumbo and Moreton Bay Recycling, and they will keep delivering effective solutions.
