FUCHS, a Terex brand, has unveiled a new electric material handler. 

Designed with "sustainability and practicality in mind", the MHL840 BATTERY+ offers "maximum flexibility" for customers, including in the biomass sector. 

Its modular battery system allows for incremental expansion, ensuring that customers pay only for the battery capacity they need. Even in its basic configuration, the installed lithium-ion batteries provide enough power for up to three hours of autonomous operation without any loss in performance.

A statement added: "Charging the machine is a breeze, akin to charging a laptop. Once connected to the local power supply, the batteries automatically charge as needed, eliminating the need for a separate charger, and ensuring years of reliable operation.

"The MHL840 BATTERY+ also features optional automatic load peak shaving, combined with a standard soft starter, reducing strain on the local power grid, and lowering operational costs. It's the ideal choice for those seeking environmentally and economically friendly solutions. Additionally, its compatibility with less powerful mains connection points offers added flexibility.

"Whether dealing with household waste, construction waste recycling, biomass, or mixed scrap, the MHL840 BATTERY+ is the optimal machine for your needs.

"With finely tuned two-circuit hydraulics, it ensures fast and precise work cycles with maximum useful performance."
