The firm is trialling the machine at one of its quarry locations in Northern Ireland as part of a growth strategy and commitment to sustainability.
Powerscreen® is the leading provider of mobile crushing, screening and conveying equipment. As an extension of its Hybrid range 'Transport Engine' machines such as the Chieftain 2100XE use a small engine for hydraulic tasks like tracking and folding conveyors, while plugging in to an external power supply (mains electric, generator or another machine) for the processing of material.

We now have five machines in the Powerscreen range that are transport engine ready, and we will continue develop our product offering towards a more sustainable future."
Chris McCloy, Regional Quarry Manager at FP McCann added: "The adoption of new technology across the quarrying sector has been extraordinary. Innovations such as the Chieftain 2100XE ensure we are well placed to deliver on our sustainability efforts while incorporating increased efficiency, accuracy, and safety. This is in line with the company's efforts to achieving net zero by 2050."
