Fuchs unveils new high capacity material handler and cab at bauma 2016

Fuchs will introduce an entirely new, versatile, high-capacity port material handler at this year’s bauma 2016, April 11-17. The MHL390F global unveiling on the Terex Booth FM.711, represents a new capacity class entry for Fuchs and is purpose built specifically for the high production needs of large scrap handling and port applications. The MHL390F is designed to meet customers needs, no matter if it is a diesel or electric motor, a tracked or mobile undercarriage or indeed a pylon.

"Large scrap and port operations who require a high-capacity, extremely efficient material
handler with long reach will especially benefit from this new Fuchs® material handler model,"
says Ron deVries, General Manager for Fuchs. Product Manager, Florian Bender, adds, "Our new
handler offers outstanding reach options ranging from 22 to 24.5 m, a powerful but ultraefficient
300Kw engine, two slew drives and a solid undercarriage for excellent stability and
massive axles for high reliability in even the most demanding applications. This model was
conceptualized from customer requests and feedback, and we are excited to give customers a
preview of our new material handler at bauma 2016.”

In addition to the new, massive material handler on display at bauma 2016, Fuchs will unveil its
newest cab design that sports classic Fuchs-style elements combined with the latest
technologies to embody the symbiosis of tradition, quality and innovative spirit. Unique to the
market, the re-engineered operator’s cab is specially designed for purpose-built material handlers. Standard joystick steering improves machine responsiveness to operator commands,
while large windows provide enhanced visibility of the operating area.
