Recycling materials community readies for ReMA 2026

Liebherr’s LH 60 M Industry E materials handler will be showcased at ReMA 2026

Known as the largest recycled materials industry gathering in the world, the event is expected to be attended by around 7,000 industry professionals, as the recycling community come together at Mandalay Bay resort and casino.

Attendees will be greeted by a programme of conferences, workshops and networking sessions addressing topics such as material supply-chain resilience, emerging technologies in sorting and processing, circular economy strategies, regulatory and trade policy developments and workforce training.

The exhibition area will feature the latest innovations in recycling infrastructure, collection systems, material processing equipment, data-driven operations and sustainable business models.

Liebherr will showcase two machines for scrap and industrial material handling: the LH 60 Industry E material handler and the L 550 XPower wheel loader.

First introduced at ConExpo 2026 in March, the new LH 60 M Industry E is designed for heavy-duty handling in recycling and scrap operations. It comes with Liebherr’s ERC System (energy recovery system) for boosting performance and fuel savings. A variety of attachments are available, allowing the machine to be tailored to the specific application needs, whether scrap, waste or recycling.

LaBounty will feature its range of demolition and scrap processing equipment designed to support productivity and operational efficiency. The team will be on hand to discuss application requirements and outline how LaBounty’s tooling can be integrated into existing operations to improve performance and returns on investment.

Lefort Metal Recycling will be exhibiting the Trax 720 self-propelled shear/baler.

Operated via remote control, the machine can be repositioned quickly, allowing it to be moved to the material rather than transporting scrap to a fixed processing point.

This approach reduces handling requirements and supports improved operational efficiency, with potential time and cost savings in scrap processing applications.

Robobec will display a range of equipment for use on demolition jobs, scrap yards and C&D waste handling. These include the Horizon 920 SM knuckleboom loader as well as the RPA demolition grapple and the orange peel grapple.

The Horizon 920 SMH-M30 is a compact stationary loader which features a 37kW high efficiency electric motor and a standard boom length of 7 m, with three non-telescopic options up to 8.8 m. It will be shown with a 5-tine orange peel grapple.

Each configuration of the RPA demolition grapple is offered with either a dangle rotation or Rotobec’s RGP-positioned rotation, providing options for different operational needs.

This demolition variant is constructed from thicker steel and fitted with reinforced guarding to handle more demanding work environments.

Specially designed for ReMA 2026, the OP4-075 orange peel grapple is built with four different tine profiles and equipped with an extended wear package. Robotec noted that this custom configuration highlights how a single grapple platform can be tailored to match a wide range of material challenges.
