Northshore Debuts Large Electric Material Handler

Northshore Manufacturing, Two Harbors, Minn., has added to its line of stationary electric material handlers with the introduction of the Builtrite Model 5100-SE.

Weighing in at 53,000 pounds, the handler is designed for industrial, heavy-duty applications like scrap and solid waste handling, according to the company.

Key features include:

•         47 feet of horizontal reach from a fabricated, high tensile strength boom designed for a high power to weight ratio and longer life;

•         high-pressure hydraulics (4000 PSI / 275 Bar) and high flow designed to produce greater lift capacity (12,000 pounds) at full reach and faster cycle times;

•         250 hp TEFC, 460-volt, three-phase electric motor with soft-start controller;

•         an electric motor creating no emissions for operators;

•         a power unit that can be attached to the main handler body or remote-mounted to avoid dusty conditions;

•         360-degree continuous rotation on a large pedestal base;

•         a wide variety of attachments available including orange peel grapples, bale grapples and general purpose grapples;

•         2- or 3-piece boom option.
