Multiple vehicles for multiple applications.
At Lobbe, the fleet handles a variety of tasks. Used are skip loaders, roll-off skip loaders, side loaders, rear loaders, and front loaders. In addition, there are vacuum trucks, combi vehicles with spraying equipment, high-safety vacuum trucks, sweepers, container vehicles and vans for industrial cleaning. Depending on the task at hand, the company will deploy Atego, Arocs, Actros and eActros vehicles with suitable bodies. The fleet is a good indication of how broad the company is.
This variety in particular places high demands on every single vehicle. The truck must fit the body and be able to withstand the load. And it has to work reliably even when there is little room for manoeuvre. These are the critical areas that Lobbe must contend with.
Specialised vehicles are also available for road cleaning and emergency management, including sweepers for general road cleaning, as well as high-pressure sweepers for milling surface and construction site cleaning and thermal surface cleaning machines that are used for the mechanical removal of oil spills. This is precisely how closely the vehicle, body and deployment departments cooperate at Lobbe.
Quiet collection, strong performance.
At Lobbe, the fleet also includes local low-emission collection featuring an electric side loader based on the Mercedes-Benz eActros 300. This shows that the fleet not only handles a wide variety of operations, but also offers environmentally friendly solutions for everyday collection. The fleet ranges from local low-emission collection solutions to highly specialised deployments in emergency management.
Crunch time: removing oil spills.
In the past year, Lobbe handled around 1,400 deployments, 850 of which involved removing oil spills. One thing is clear: this form of deployment is not just a side business. It is an integral part of everyday life.
Every step counts, especially when there is oil on the carriageway. At Lobbe, deployment planning is carried out digitally and site management assigns deployments via iPad. After that, everything must proceed at pace. After all, out on the road, it’s about more than just cleanliness. It is primarily about safety and a carriageway that can be brought back into use again quickly. For these tasks, Lobbe relies on the Mercedes-Benz Arocs as a sweeper with oil track cleaning, amongst other things.
