More than ten years ago,\u00a0Hopley Group\u00a0watched a TANA Shark shred heavy steel and massive timber with ease. This convinced Group Director\u00a0Justin Hopley<\/strong>\u00a0and the team. The Shark was the right machine for their demanding Bendigo-based demolition and recycling operations.<\/p>\n\n\n

The first\u00a0TANA <\/a>Shark\u00a0arrived in 2014 and delivered reliable performance for the next decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cIt just goes to show \u2013 we ran the machine for 10 years and still got a good chunk of our money back,\u201d Justin Hopley says. \u201cIt was still in perfect condition really. We kept it in good order, but you only have to do a bit of welding on the teeth and stuff to keep them up to speed.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Hopley Group\u2019s waste stream is diverse, ranging from timber flooring and weatherboards to tyres, mattresses, and even tree stumps. They demolish houses, commercial buildings, and industrial facilities before bringing the material to their recycling site, where the team recycles everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For their diverse waste streams, a versatile heavy-duty shredder is a must. The Shark\u2019s aggressiveness and ability to handle the toughest waste streams made it a standout in the market. That\u2019s why they purchased their second Shark in 2026 after selling the first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThe shredder<\/a> shreds green waste,\u00a0C&D (construction and demolition) waste, weatherboards, flooring, carpet, mattresses, and tyres;\u00a0it\u2019ll just about shred anything<\/strong><\/em>,\u201d Hopley says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
