Expanding fleet operations with new Case 921G XR wheel loaders

At Seras we don’t just talk about our vision and values, we actively make a difference at operational level around those values. We take care of each other by prioritising health, safety and wellbeing across our sites.

The recent purchase of two new shovels, Case 921G XR wheel loaders for our Widnes site reflects that commitment. This equipment has replaced the oldest machines in the fleet. Three more loading shovels are scheduled for October and will be used across the Tilbury, Pollington and Rotherham sites.

The shovels are designed for handling wood recycling and incorporate a 7.5m³ bespoke High Tip Bucket, as well as an under-bucket camera system for enhanced visibility around the vehicle.

Alan Whitrow, Operations Director at Seras said, “The team have worked hard on organising this and I’m delighted to see the new equipment arriving and boosting team morale across our site operations. These loading shovels are one of the best in class and reinforce our message of putting our team’s comfort and health and safety first.”

Warwick Ward who will handle the ongoing maintenance of the equipment brokered the purchase, working closely with the Operations team to find the best equipment and manufacturer for their needs. Simon Causier, Commercial Director at Warwick Ward, commented, “We’re proud to support Seras in strengthening their fleet with these two outstanding CASE 921G XR wheel loaders. At Warwick Ward, we take immense pride in helping our clients identify the right machine for their specific needs and the 921G XR stood out for its reliability, productivity and operator-focused comfort. We look forward to continuing our partnership with Seras, providing ongoing maintenance and support to keep their operations running smoothly and efficiently.”

Case won the manufacturing contract based on their high quality of manufacture, outstanding fuel efficiency, proven reliability, and ease of maintenance, and are delighted to supply Seras with this new equipment to enhance their operations.

Aaron Whitrow, Head of Site operations at Seras said, “Investing in new loading shovels ensures our site operations remain efficient and reliable. By sticking to a proactive replacement cycle, we reduce downtime, boost team morale, and maintain the high standards our clients rely on.”

Backed by Warwick Ward’s exceptional aftersales support, Seras will benefit from a comprehensive maintenance package and industry-leading parts distribution, ensuring maximum uptime and operational efficiency across both sites.

Aaron continues, “The new loading shovels combined with the ongoing maintenance and support of Warwick Ward will ensure we continue to see benefits across our site operations. Warwick Ward have proved themselves to be knowledgeable and supportive throughout this process, and I’m delighted that we’ll be working with them in the future to maintain our new equipment.”

With lots more investment planned across operations in the coming months, the Seras team are proudly fuelling the future.
