HERE AT EMS WE PRIDE OURSELVES ON OUR COMMITMENT TO THE TEAM. WE WANT OUR EMPLOYEES TO ENJOY THEIR JOBS AND HOPEFULLY FEEL THAT THEY ARE PART OF SOMETHING BIGGER AND THAT THEIR TIME AND COMMITMENT IS WHAT HELPS MAKE A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS. SO AFTER 20 YEARS OF SERVICE AND COMMITMENT WE ARE VERY SAD TO BE SAYING GOODBYE TO OUR OFFICE MANAGER IN EXETER, JULIE ANDREWS.
After seeing her every day Julie will be sorely missed by the whole team. She has been a huge part of many of the teams daily life and has contributed to our successful growth over recent years.
We enjoyed her last day with plenty of food and a gift of a ‘teas maid’ as she can now enjoy a cuppa in bed instead of rushing to the skip office each morning!
Thank you Julie for all your hard work over the last 20 years! You will be missed

Volvo Trucks is introducing a new safety system to detect other road users entering the blind spot on both sides of the truck.
New safety system to protect cyclists and pedestrians
Volvo Trucks’ new safety system uses a dual radar on each side of the truck to detect other road users – such as cyclists. In busy traffic situations, it is difficult for even the most experienced driver to perceive everything around the vehicle. To increase safety and ease stress on the driver, Volvo Trucks is offering its new system which uses a dual radar on each side of the truck to detect when other road users, such as cyclists, enter the risk area.
“An accident can happen in a split second. Our extensive accident research is based on decades of studying real-life situations, and this new safety system helps the driver to prevent potential collisions,” says Anna Wrige Berling, Traffic & Product Safety Director at Volvo Trucks.
When someone is in the blind spot zone, the system, called Side Collision Avoidance Support, informs the driver via a red light on the relevant side mirror.
If the driver indicates a lane change via the turn signal, the red light starts to flash and a warning sound emits from the side of the potential collision. The driver is alerted and can brake the truck, allowing for example a cyclist to pass.
“At Volvo Trucks, our long-term vision is zero accidents, and safety is at the core of everything we do. This new system is another example of our efforts to accomplish these aims,” concludes Wrige Berling.
The new system will be available globally on the Volvo FH range, FM and FMX with diesel, gas and electric drivelines, starting in September this year. The Volvo FL and FE models will get the new safety system in 2023.
For further information give our team at Stuarts Truck and Bus a call . They’re always on hand to help.
WE LOVE A NEW GADGET HERE AT EMS AND ARE CONSTANTLY LOOKING FOR WAYS TO IMPROVE PRODUCTIVITY WITH THE LATEST SPECIALIST EQUIPMENT.
Untha an industrial shredder specialist celebrating a 50 year heritage has supplied EMS with a new electric shredder to shred our bulky waste. This marks further investment by EMS moving to alternative fuel recycling equipment instead of diesel following the purchase of our electric senebogen material handler.
The addition of this shredder will allow EMS to maximise recovery rates allowing our residual waste to be processed for alternative fuel production. We will also be able to maximise weights, extract clean ferrous metal and tackle difficult bulky items.
Being electric the shredder is also very quiet and its slow speed shaft and quick release door gives it protection from foreign objects.
We look forward to putting it to good use!
BULKY MATERIALS? NO PROBLEM
A variety of bulky waste streams may, at first glance, be considered economically unshreddable. But perhaps that’s because people haven’t yet encountered a shredder robust enough for the job.
Large complex materials such as mattresses, carpets, textiles, pulper ropes, civic amenity waste and bulky domestic appliances of course need to be handled by heavy duty technology, but UNTHA’s high torque, slow speed shredders can handle such oversized applications with ease.
WHY SHRED BULKY WASTE?
The disposal of large items such as mattresses is becoming a growing problem in the UK. Landfill space is depleting, disposal costs are unmanageable, fly tipping is on the rise and a number of recyclable materials would otherwise remain ‘locked’ in these waste streams, unless a shredding process ensues.
Shredding everything from bulky UPVC window frames to through to masses of pulper rope can reveal a wealth of potential when the ‘waste’ is broken down, as valuable composite materials can be liberated and extracted for use in recycling, remanufacturing or energy recovery.
Sometimes the shredding priority is Volume Reduction, in which case operators can process bulky materials to alleviate waste storage problems and achieve a cleaner, tidier and safer site.

CAN YOU BELIEVE OUR WASTE TRANSFER SITE IN EXETER HAS BEEN FULLY FUNCTIONING FOR OVER THREE YEARS!! IT’S SEEN SOME REAL ACTION IN THAT TIME AND WE WERE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO KEEP TRADING AS USUAL ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE COVID LOCKDOWNS.
We pride ourselves on having and keeping up to date with the latest technology, equipment and methods to ensure we recycle the maximum we can and keep proving an unbeatable service to the people and businesses of Devon and Cornwall.
Unfortunately sorting through this much waste can be a bit messy! And our poor transfer site was looking a bit dirty from all the dust and grime flying around and sticking to surfaces.
We asked local company Southwest Cleaning Group to come and have a look to see if there was anything they could suggest.
They recommended cleaning and de greasing the walls and surfaces to remove the dust and generally clean everything up.
We like to think we give our staff as nice an environment as possible to work in and the way the site was starting to look was bothering us.
Darren from Southwest Cleaning Group and his team worked around our opening hours so as not to interfere with the production line and overall processes.
This meant a few hard, long weekends including the bank holiday but we are absolutely thrilled with the results.
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT TO OTHER SKIP HIRE AND WASTE MANAGEMENT COMPANIES?
Hiring skips from us results in more than an easy disposal system for your domestic or industrial waste.
It ensures that your waste is handled properly and respectfully, which means it is recycled as far as possible to reduce landfill contents and harmful emissions from incorrectly disposing of waste (i.e. burning waste).
Our waste transfer site uses advanced procedures (including industrial magnets and size sorting schemes) and high-quality machinery to efficiently and effectively recycle materials given to us.
This is topped off with feedback on our exceptional customer service from people in the community.
After all, we believe that working together to improve our environment is the best way forward.
WHAT WE HAVE ACHIEVED
Our waste transfer site has helped the community and the environment. Beyond increasing employment rates by taking on more staff in Exeter, our company is currently able to recycle over 95% of all waste recovered, domestic or industrial.
This has an incredible impact on the environment, and we are proud to provide a big contribution to the rise of eco-friendly initiatives nationwide.
Fantastic as that figure may be, we at EMS are striving to increase our statistics to 100% recycled material. Installing a segregation line to separate materials such as plastic, glass, and metal helps us along the way, but there’s more work to be done.
We’re always thinking of ways to improve and will continue to invest in the business and new equipment. Keeping the building in tip top condition is just a very small part of the operation but it makes it a lot nicer place to work!
EMS PURCHASES A NEW ELECTRIC POWERED SENNEBOGEN 818E.
EMS has purchased it first fully electric mobile machine to feed our waste processing plant in Exeter. The Sennebogen supplied by Molson Group is part of our process moving from diesel equipment to alternative fuels.
Our new addition will reduce fuel consumption and noise providing a better working environment.
SENNEBOGEN
SENNEBOGEN was founded in 1952 to develop and produce machines for the agricultural industry. The company has now established itself as a full service provider and quality leader in crane technology and material handling. As an international company, SENNEBOGEN develops and produces complete model ranges for duty cycle cranes, crawler cranes, telescopic and harbour cranes, material handlers, telehandlers as well as base carriers.
In addition to flexible machines from series production, SENNEBOGEN also designs individual specialised machines in close collaboration with its clients.
SENNEBOGEN 818 – ELECTRIC MATERIAL HANDLER FOR ECONOMICAL HANDLING OPERATIONS
For over 25 years, SENNEBOGEN has been an innovation leader in electrically driven material handlers. In addition to savings of up to 50% in operating costs compared to conventional diesel engines, electric material handlers offer further cost and efficiency advantages. At the bauma, SENNEBOGEN is showing the new SENNEBOGEN 818 with a 90 kW electric motor and a cable drum mounted on the undercarriage, as an example of its wide range of models.
The advantages of electro-hydraulic drive systems are many and varied – as are the implementation versions of the SENNEBOGEN material handlers. Every machine from the current product range can be customized with an electric motor at the plant. The advantages of the electric material handlers are clear. A low wear allows considerably longer service intervals in comparison to a diesel engine.
Oil and filter changes are eliminated at the same time. In addition, the electrically driven machines are always ready for operation and work around the clock without refueling if necessary. In the end, the SENNEBOGEN electric material handlers not only run more cost-efficiently but are also especially environmentally friendly and emission-free.
Furthermore, electro-hydraulic drive systems have a much higher working comfort for the operator, thanks to vibration-free and low-noise drives.
SENNEBOGEN ELECTRIC MATERIAL HANDLERS – IN SUMMARY
Economical and efficient: Up to 50% savings in operating and energy costs
Compact and flexible: Compact dimensions, various power supplies possible
Mobility for every application: Powerpack solutions for freely movable machines, integrated Powerpack for flexible use
Zero emissions: Clean technology, low noise level for a pleasant work environment
Always ready for use: Work without refueling, longer service and maintenance intervals
COMPACT ELECTRIC MATERIAL HANDLER FOR INDOOR OPERATION
At the bauma, SENNEBOGEN is now presenting the smallest material handler, the 818, in the electric version as well. Equipped with a 90 kW electric motor and mobile undercarriage, the machine combines maximum flexibility with the advantages of an electrohydraulic drive.
The necessary cylindrical cable drum has been directly mounted on the undercarriage. In this configuration with 10 m long equipment including sorting grab, the 818 is optimally suited, for example, for sorting and loading activities in indoor operation. The compact basic dimensions of the machine with a width of only 2.50 m and a length of 4.36 m also offer further advantages in confined spaces.
Whether in waste management, recycling, or scrap handling, wherever fast operating cycles are required, for example, for feeding plants or loading trucks, the proven 1-cylinder system impresses with fast cycles and maximum reliability. With a continuously adjustable height of up to 2.70 m, the operator has an optimum overview of the working area from the comfortable Maxcab comfort cab. Several cameras and extensive periphery lighting provide a complete overview, and all machine parameters can be monitored on the SENCON control system.
Stay tuned for new recycling equipment arriving later this year!
