Why Electric Wheel Loaders Are the Future of Recycling Operations

Why Electric Wheel Loaders Are the Future of Recycling Operations


As environmental regulations tighten and sustainability goals drive operational change, forward-thinking recycling operations are turning to electric equipment to lead the way. At Nuss Truck & Equipment, we’re proud to offer Volvo Construction Equipment’s L25 Electric Compact Wheel Loader, a machine that’s making a powerful impact at recycling sites.

Zero Emissions. Lower Noise. Maximum Efficiency.

Volvo’s L25 Electric Wheel Loader eliminates tailpipe emissions and dramatically reduces noise levels—making it an ideal solution for material recovery facilities (MRFs) and urban recycling centers where environmental and safety standards are high.

This machine has replaced diesel loaders, handling tasks like:

  • Pushing paper onto conveyors

  • Prepping materials for baling

  • Fluffing sorted materials for processing

And it’s doing it all quieter, cleaner, and more efficiently than traditional diesel machines.


Recharge While You Work

Implement a simple fast-charging system that allows the L25 to run two shifts with a single midday fast charge and an overnight slow charge—keeping uptime high and fuel costs nonexistent.


Built for Safer Worksites

The L25’s spacious cab and 360° visibility enhance operator awareness and reduce accident risks. The lack of engine noise also improves communication between operators and ground crews, especially in high-traffic facilities.


Recyclers: This Is Your Next Loader

For recyclers, waste processors, and municipalities committed to sustainability, Volvo’s electric wheel loaders represent the next generation of productivity. With minimal infrastructure investment and streamlined pre-start checks, operators report improved shift flow and reduced fatigue.
