Equipment News: High-end rear loader fit for any purpose
Bucher Municipal’s rear loader, the UrBin RL60, has been positioned to offer the best package for its customers. More versatile than ever before, the RL60 is lighter, narrower and lower in height than any other rear loader in the market.
Narrow access roads, jam-packed driveways and multi-unit dwellings (MUD’s) require agile refuse collectors with precise manoeuvrability capabilities.

Driven by a more environmentally friendly vehicle, the UrBin RL60 places less strain onto local infrastructure, playing its part in reducing emissions and on-going road maintenance. With an optimised body length, the RL60 reduces expensive chassis modifications, guaranteeing a high level of vehicle utilisation for the operator while also providing municipalities with an improved return on their procurement costs.
The rear loader can be used across multiple applications without any limitations. Its unmatched productivity sees the RL60 offer less down time for maintenance and higher payloads; on-board safety features such as integrated reversing camera, reversing lights, alarm and improved Bucher hydraulic system.

Waste 2020 conference cancelled
The annual Waste 2020 Conference which was scheduled for 5-7 May in Coffs Harbour has been cancelled with Impact Environment conference convenor Greg Freeman advising the industry yesterday.
“We have been monitoring and evaluating the situation with the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) over the past few weeks to ensure we were taking proper steps to protect the health and wellbeing of all stakeholders,” Freeman said
On the afternoon of 13th March Australia’s chief medical officer has told premiers, chief ministers and the Prime Minister that mass gatherings of more than 500 people should be cancelled amid fears about the spread of coronavirus.
“As such, and in light of all the information and advice given to date, we have unfortunately had to make the difficult decision to cancel the upcoming Waste 2020 Conference which was scheduled for 5-7 May in Coffs Harbour.
“This decision is one that was not taken lightly, and we understand that there will be much disappointment within the waste industry as many of you look forward to this conference each year.
Freeman explained that the decision was also impacted after a significant number of attendees, speakers, sponsors and exhibitors notified the organisers that they were unable to take part in the event due to stringent travel restrictions imposed, making it not viable to run at a reduced capacity.
“We will make contact with all registered delegates, presenters, sponsors and exhibitors to discuss the next steps over the coming days,” he said.
Freeman advised that questions or concerns regarding the conference can be emailed to either wasteconference@impactenviro.com.au or connie@impactenviro.com.au and the team would respond as soon as possible.
“We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and our sympathies are with those affected by the virus,” he said.
