Terex Fuchs, Southaven, Miss., has introduced the MHL320 D material handler, built for indoor and outdoor applications ranging from scrap metal feeder yards and municipal solid waste processing at recycling and recovery facilities and construction and demolition debris sorting at transfer stations. At 44,188 pound maximum operating weight, it is the smallest handler in the Terex Fuchs line, but the company says it has many of the same features as the larger models.
The standard MHL320 D is powered by a 114 horsepower diesel engine, and its 31.2-foot reach offers high lifting capacities in a compact material handler. A double slew ring design, combined with a 77 gallon per minute hydraulic system capacity, delivers the torque required for up to 8 rpm swing speed, increasing productivity at the jobsite. Four-point hydraulically operated stabilizers and a wide underbody help to increase lifting capacities throughout the entire operating range. A leveling blade in addition to four-point stabilizers and independently controlled hydraulic stabilizers are available as options to meet site-specific needs.
The MHL320 D maneuvers around the site at speeds reaching 12.4 mph. Solid rubber tires and a rigid mounted front axle with 30-degree steering angle are designed to allow the handler to navigate confined spaces and tight corners. An oscillating rear drive axle aids in navigating uneven terrain.
For stationary and indoor applications, customers can choose the electric-powered MHL820 D. This electric motor configuration is offered as a wheeled unit with a cable line length specified by the customer. The emissions-free electric motor model offers lower operating costs and reduced maintenance and service costs as compared to the standard MHL320 D.
The upper carriage of the MHL320 D can also be pedestal mounted as a stationary option (AHL820 D).
Beyond its standard 31.2-foot reach, the MHL320 D offers a variety of boom and stick combinations, with reaches ranging from 26.9 to 34.1 feet. Two universal stick configurations incorporate a stick-mounted hydraulic cylinder to the design, which allows for up-and-down tilting as well as left-and-right slewing of the attachment. The MHL320 D with universal stick offers superior material sorting flexibility and efficiency.
The MHL320 D features the latest cab design, offering operators comfort, ease of operation and excellent visibility. Ergonomic dual joystick controls are configured specifically for material handling and allow the operator to control the horn, turn signals, magnet operation and slewing brake functions with the left joystick; and grapple slewing and pressure boost functions with the right. The large, high-resolution color display control panel features a push-button keypad with LED indicators for activation of machine functions and multi-function control button for adjusting engine speed and navigating and selecting display menu functions.

SENNEBOGEN 340G telehandler improves the view in Macon County, NC
An elevated cab is one of several features improving operational efficiency at the Macon County Solid Waste Management agency in North Carolina. When it comes to waste management, efficiency, safety and reliability are priorities driving decisions from day one, according to staff members of the Macon County Solid Waste Management Department in western North Carolina. The agency operates a recycling plant in a facility originally designed to bale incoming materials. More recently, the building has undergone significant transformations centered around one machine: a SENNEBOGEN telehandler (telescopic handler).
The control panel alerts the operator to machine service issues such as high operating temperatures, charge air temperature, engine oil pressure, and coolant and hydraulic oil levels. An integrated central lubrication system automatically greases multiple points on the upper carriage and slewing joint to reduce maintenance. A fold-down ladder offers access to the upper carriage service area for checking the engine, central lubrication system and hydraulic components. More information is available at www.terex.com.
