Fuchs, a German manufacturer of material handling equipment, has introduced its F120 MH, — a new machine for port handling.

With an output of up to 670 hp and a service weight of up to 330,700 lbs, the F120 MH is reportedly the largest and heaviest Fuchs machine so far.

According to the company, the F120 MH’s maximum reach of 28 m combined with the banana boom facilitates the unloading of bulk freighters and barges, while the height adjustable cabin system offers an ideal view of the working area, thanks to its viewing height of up to 12 m.

Further, the Fuchs Comfort Cab features soundproofed, heat-protected windows for all-around visibility, as well as an air-suspended comfort seat with armrests, lumbar and headrest support. Assorted joystick options are available to further enhance operating comfort, while several camera systems displayed on a separate monitor increase the safety of the working environment.

The Fuchs Service Platform offers access to all components — such as the engine compartment, the Fuchs Blue Hybrid System components, the central lubrication system, air filters and tanks — thereby allowing for safe and easy inspections and maintenance.

Additionally, the semi-automatic quick coupler, with a capacity of 44,000 lbs, enables the use of assorted attachments, thus allowing the machine to be adapted according to the handling material.

The company explained that the F120 MH can be individually configured based on the proven modular system. Likewise, the F120 MH comes with a low maintenance crawler undercarriage and offers customer-specific options for the undercarriage, including mobile, stationary or gantry undercarriages.

Another feature of the F120 MH is the Blue Hybrid System, which stores excess energy when lowering the loading equipment to use it in the subsequent loading cycle, achieving energy savings of up to 35%.
