The new Fuchs MHL320 F material handler, which is built to tackle a range of indoor and outdoor applications from municipal solid waste processing to small scrap yards, boasts a compact yet powerful design, according to Terex Corp.
The 50,485-pound MHL320 F handler is an entry-level unit for operations that need high lift capacities at extended reaches, efficient sorting capabilities and fast trailer loading and unloading.
The MHL320 F handler features a 127-hp diesel engine that meets Tier 4 Final emissions standards. Passive regeneration of the diesel particulate filter ensures uninterrupted machine operation with lower fuel consumption than previous engine configurations, Terex says. Three-stage engine operation allows the operator to fine-tune engine rpm to the application to further reduce fuel consumption.
In addition, new joystick steering improves onsite maneuverability, enhancing operator visibility and increasing legroom to elevate operator comfort, the company says. A simple touch of the toggle switch controls left/right turning of the front axle. The standard dual solid rubber tire drive system offers a 30-degree steering angle to deliver a tight 22.9-ft. turning radius, so the handler nimbly maneuvers around obstacles.
The MHL320 F can be equipped with a number of boom and stick options to increase flexibility in meeting jobsite needs, according to Terex. Two straight dipper-stick options offer reaches of 31.2 and 34.1 ft., respectively, allowing the handler to pull material from a wide circumference around the machine to limit the number of times the material is handled.
