We recently had the opportunity to speak with Tom Barrett, the Operations Manager at Recycal Rocherlea in Tasmania. Recycal is a family-owned metal recycling business that operates several locations throughout the country.

"Our facility in Rocherlea covers 14 acres and employs a dedicated team of 40 staff members. We take pride in our extensive knowledge of the recycling process. With multiple sites, a fleet of trucks, technical expertise, and a partnership with a local foundry casting in Tasmania, Recycal offers a comprehensive recycling solution from start to finish." said Tom

At present, Recycal have five Terex Fuchs material handlers, all provided and maintained by the Onetrak team. They were already familiar with the Terex brand, known for its reliability and excellent support, making the decision to expand their fleet with Terex Fuchs machines a natural fit.

"Our journey began six years ago with the purchase of an MHL355, which continues to perform exceptionally. Since then, we have added two MHL350 machines, along with a MHL320 and a MHL370 to our fleet. Fuchs machines are user-friendly, boast long service intervals that minimize downtime, and are smooth and reliable to operate." said Tom.

The MHL320, one of Recycals latest machines, excels in recycling, consistently delivering a reliable performance that sets it apart as an industry leader. Its versatility is a hallmark, offering a spectrum of possibilities from precision sorting to heavy-duty loading tasks. With various boom versions, undercarriages, and special equipment options, the MHL320 can be customized to align perfectly with unique requirements, providing a tailored solution for individual needs.

Along with its mechanical features the MHL320 also considers operators with its operator-centric design. The cab is a reinforced steel structure with soundproofed, heat-insulated panoramic windows for best all-round visibility. Inside, heating and air conditioning with separate heat exchangers and fresh and recirculated air filters make for a comfortable environment.  

The operator‘s seat is an air-cushioned comfort seat with swinging armrests / joysticks, safety belt, lumbar support and headrest. It is designed to enable fatigue-free work due to universal adjustment options for the seat position and the arrangement of the seat cushion in relation to the armrests and joysticks.

In an era where sustainable waste management is paramount, the Fuchs MHL320 Material Handler emerges as a beacon of visibility, reliability, and innovation. It transcends being merely a machine; it represents a commitment to a productive and more efficient future. By choosing the MHL320, industries can elevate their recycling operations to unparalleled heights.

Tom concludes, "I have had nothing but positive experiences with the Onetrak team, Jake is always available, and Rodney has been a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Onetrak for their outstanding product knowledge, service, and support."
