MARINE SECTOR A ‘NEW MARKET’ FOR MCHALE PLANT SALES

Port, harbour, quayside and on-ship operations have presented as a new market opening for construction equipment distributors, McHale Plant Sales of Birdhill and Rathcoole resulting from their appointment as Ireland and Northern Ireland distributors of Terex Fuchs materials handling equipment.

Used widely throughout the world of shipping, freight, bulk storage and handling, Terex Fuchs equipment is found principally in waste and scrap metal sorting and storing applications, in timber and sawmill stockpile building and handling, and in dockyard management and ship loading / unloading scenarios.

Favoured for its exceedingly long reach and wide working circle, a Fuchs feature is their hydraulically-powered cab-lifting mechanism that rises up and down to give operators an elevated, bird’s eye view when sorting through metal and other waste, when building timber stockpiles, and seeing clear sight-lines into a ship’s hold when loading and unloading cargo.

Fuchs equipment comes with a comprehensive range of operational fitments that includes five-finger grabs, clamp and bucket lift attachments appropriate to each application. The seven-strong model line-up of grab-and-lift handlers for port and dockside use has features that include electric-power in mobile and fixed-position models, with scope for modification and adaptation to meet individual need.
