LiuGong North America is proud to announce that its all-electric 856HE MAX Wheel Loader has received a heartfelt endorsement from John Arwood, CEO of United States Disposal Services, a respected leader in the waste and recycling industry.

This recognition highlights the machine’s potential to quietly transform operations at Waste & Recycling Transfer Stations across the country.

“We’re truly honored by John Arwood’s support,” said Andrew Ryan, CEO of LiuGong North America. “His endorsement reflects what we’ve been working toward offering a practical, hardworking solution that makes a difference for operators and companies alike. The 856HE MAX isn’t about flashy promises; it’s about doing the job well, with no diesel fumes and a lower cost to run. We’re grateful for the chance to contribute to this industry.”

John Arwood, a seasoned advocate for innovation in waste management, shared his thoughts: “The LiuGong 856HE MAX is a game-changer for Waste & Recycling Transfer Stations. I’ve seen a lot of equipment over the years, and this all-electric loader stands out. It’s quiet, it’s clean, and it gets the job done without the expense of diesel. It’s the kind of machine that makes you wonder why we didn’t switch sooner.”

The 856HE MAX, powered by a robust LFP battery pack delivering 423 kW, offers performance that rivals traditional diesel loaders while eliminating exhaust emissions—a simple but meaningful benefit for indoor and urban facilities. Its lower operating costs, thanks to reduced fuel and maintenance needs, make it a humble yet compelling option for waste companies looking to improve efficiency without breaking the bank.

Why All-Electric Loaders Are the Smart Choice for Waste & Recycling Transfer Stations
Industry leaders are increasingly turning to all-electric equipment like the 856HE MAX for practical reasons:

Improved Air Quality: No diesel fumes mean healthier working conditions for operators, especially in enclosed transfer stations.
Cost Savings: Lower energy and maintenance costs compared to diesel-powered machines help keep budgets in check.
Quiet Operation: Reduced noise levels create a more comfortable environment for workers and nearby communities.
Sustainability Goals: Electric loaders align with growing environmental standards and corporate responsibility initiatives.
Reliable Performance: With power and durability to handle heavy loads, the 856HE MAX proves electric doesn’t mean compromise.

“We’re not here to push anyone into a decision,” added Andrew Ryan. “We just want folks in the waste and recycling world to know there’s an option out there that’s worth a look—one that’s good for their teams, their bottom line, and the planet. John Arwood’s kind words mean a lot, and we hope others will give the 856HE MAX a chance to prove itself.”
