Material Handling designates the mechanical loading, moving, sorting, and stacking of materials in recycling plants, scrapyards, ports, lumber yards, and transshipment centers. The machines deployed — material handling excavators, wheel loaders, telehandlers — are specifically designed for high throughput capacity and continuous operation.
Material handling excavators from Sennebogen (8-Series), Liebherr (LH-Series), and Cat (MH-Series) feature elevated operator cabs (up to 7 m eye level), reinforced undercarriages, and fast work cycles. Sorting grabs, poly grabs, and magnets in place of the bucket enable the handling of diverse materials — from scrap metal to biomass to containers.
Sennebogen is the world market leader in material handling excavators and offers machines from 17 to 300 tons for every material handling application. In port handling, portal cranes, reach stackers, and container handlers are additionally deployed. Modern transshipment facilities are equipped with weighing systems, telematics, and automated material tracking.
