Sorigué Group’s specialist waste management company, CLD, has developed a new 100% electric cleaning trolley and included it in its urban services.
 
This in-house innovation will benefit the occupational health of employees. Its ergonomic design provides for a high degree of maneuverability and versatility, characteristics that are enhanced by its electric mobility, which, in addition to providing greater stability, decreases the effort required by the human team when accessing steep areas. The design also improves the supports that provide for the transfer of work tools.

 
The new equipment incorporates a route tracking device, which, via a touch screen, displays service routes and work orders. In addition, the system allows users to report incidents and control work routes via the built-in GPS.

 
The new cleaning trolley has already successfully passed the initial trial phase. Its use will be gradually extended to all personnel involved in the street cleaning service.

Since 2009, CLD has been responsible for waste collection and street cleaning in the northern part of Barcelona, which encompasses the Nou Barris and Horta-Guinardó districts, serving more than 340,000 residents.
