About the
FUCHS MHL310F Material Handler
The Terex Fuchs MHL310F material handler is purpose-built for high-efficiency recycling operations in tight spaces or recycling sheds. Featuring a compact design that doesn't sacrifice on power, this material handler machine is ideal for scrap yards, recycling plants, and waste transfer stations where space is limited. As one of the most versatile material handlers in its class, the Fuchs MHL310F delivers strong lifting performance and precise control across a wide range of recycling and loading applications.
Its compact design is a key advantage, offering an impressive 4.5m turning radius when in all-wheel drive (7.1m in normal drive) with a maximum working area diameter of 18m! A unique feature among 16-tonne material handlers. The tight radius and large work reach allow operators to maximise productivity in confined environments and reduce the need for repositioning. With a maximum reach of up to 9 metres and a tight turning radius, this Fuchs material handler excavator is well-suited to handling scrap metal, household waste, packaging, and construction and demolition materials. Whether loading baling presses or managing bulk recycling streams, it delivers consistent performance as a reliable material handler or industrial recycling equipment.
The MHL310F is powered by a Deutz TCD 3.6 L04 diesel engine, with an optional 75 kW electric drive for operations focused on reducing emissions. Its demand-flow-controlled hydraulics and closed swivel circuit ensure smooth, efficient operation when handling materials. This material handling machine provides the control needed for precise sorting and loading, making it a strong partner for scrap processing equipment and industrial recycling equipment.
Operator visibility and comfort are also part of the scrap handler's design. The hydraulically adjustable cab provides an eye level of up to 5.3 metres, delivering excellent visibility across the work area. This elevated viewing position, combined with a comfortable air-cushioned seat and intuitive controls, supports safe and efficient operation in busy waste handling and scrap metal recycling applications. Easy maintenance access also reduces downtime, helping operators keep their Fuchs machines running at peak performance.
Built for durability and flexibility, the Fuchs MHL310F material handler is suitable as industrial waste handling equipment, scrap handling equipment, or bulk material loading equipment. For businesses looking for their first Fuchs material handler for sale or expanding their fleet of Terex material handlers in Australia, the MHL310F delivers a compact, efficient solution backed by the proven engineering of Terex Fuchs.
