At the heart of Europe, where the west of the continent
meets the east, lies Györ, one of the most important
industrial centres in Hungary.
Here, on the banks of the Little Danube, a branch of
Europe’s longest river, one of the most important port locations in
Central Europe has developed.
Every year 300,000 tonnes of goods are loaded and unloaded at
this site, representing almost 10% of Hungary’s total shipping cargo.
Flexibility and efficiency are the most important criteria for
materials handlers here, as large volumes of an ever-changing
variety of goods are transferred between vessel, wharf, rail and
truck. Hungary is a nation with strong economic ambitions. The quality and advantages of
German-made mobile loaders are well known here, not least
thanks to the service provided by Profibagger, Terex® Fuchs’
Hungarian sales and service partner. That’s why port director
Ákos Pintér has opted for the performance, speed and
reliability of Terex® Fuchs material handlers — including his
latest acquisition, an MHL365 with a cranked boom
configuration. To maximize its handling capability, the machine
was fitted with an extra large undercarriage. It can therefore
withstand extreme load forces, even when manoeuvring at
speed under full load.
MHL365 performance data/equipment features:
  • flexibility and performance combined: 18m reach and 186kW power output, to shift even the heaviest loads — fast;
  • covering the ground and taking the load: an extra large under-carriage (footprint of approximately 6.6m x 5.7m) to ensure stability;
  • getting a grip: an extensive selection of gripping attachments, such as a 4m3 clamshell grab and a 20-tonne lifting hook, enable the material handler to be adapted to deal with a wide range of goods;
  • the harbourmaster: with its optional offset loading configuration, the MHL365 manages quayside conditions — such as varying water levels and differing hull profiles — with the ease of a master;
  • useful options: the machine can be configured with additional features such as a glass floor, all-round Xenon work lights and a variety of loading systems;
  • comfort, not complexity: a high-quality cockpit with joystick control and a clearly arranged multifunctional display, for a more productive day’s work;
  • efficient under any conditions: sophisticated engineering has achieved the perfect balance between power, mechanics and hydraulics. Together with minimal fuel consumption (through intelligent engine management), this maximizes goods volumes handled per litre of fuel consumed.
