Terex redesigns Fuchs material handler.


Terex has redesigned its Fuchs MHL MHL

 340D material handler to offer scrap handlers the ability to lift higher, reach farther and work faster than its predecessor, according to according to

The MHL 340D achieves greater reach and lift capacities through a larger undercarriage and improved boom kinematics kinematics: see dynamics.
kinematics

Branch of physics concerned with the geometrically possible motion of a body or system of bodies, without consideration of the forces involved.
 and it employs an innovative two-circuit hydraulic system Noun 1. hydraulic system - a mechanism operated by the resistance offered or the pressure transmitted when a liquid is forced through a small opening or tube  that minimizes power dissipation during operation to maximize machine performance.

"We evaluated the needs of operators in the scrap handling market and we've redesigned this machine with those needs in mind," Steve Brezinski, material handling product manager for Terex Construction Americas, says. "The enhancements made to this machine will offer operators higher productivity with lower operating costs operating costs nplgastos mpl operacionales ."

The new boom and stick design on the MHL 340D's loading system have been engineered for maximum lifting capacity. With an operating weight of 60,627 pounds to 63,934 pounds and increased lifting capacity on the loading system, "the MHL 340D offers operators a stable platform to pick and place more material at one time in its different reach ranges," according to a press release from Terex. The MHL 340D comes with the choice of either a 41.4-foot (12.6 meter) or a 45 foot (13.7 meter) reach configuration.

The MHL 340D is also designed with increased pivot, or swinging, torque which allows the machine to get up to full turning speed more quickly.

A new two-circuit hydraulic system provides operators with precise, smooth handling and more freedom in work motions, Brezinski says. The design employs a dual hydraulic pump design--one pump is dedicated to joystick functions, and the other pump serves all other functions of the MHL 340D--that allows for simultaneous operation Noun 1. simultaneous operation - the simultaneous execution of two or more operations
parallel operation

operation - (computer science) data processing in which the result is completely specified by a rule (especially the processing that results from a
 of dipperstick/grab, as well as dipperstick/boom, movements for increased productivity and faster work cycles.

The design of MHL 340D also includes a separate engine and hydraulic cooling systems cooling systems

for housed animals include spraying of roofs with water, evaporative pads with fans, foggers and misters; for pastured animals shelter from the sun by trees or artificial shade devices and cooling ponds are used.
 to ensure temperatures stay within optimum range during operation and noise emissions remain low.
