Sany's new material handler
Sany has launched two new compact material handlers - SMHW48G5 and SMHC48G5.

Designed to operate in ports, timber yards, recycling centres or scrapyards, the new handlers feature a standard 17 m boom, with options available from 11.5 - 20 m.

Alongside a version with an undercarriage on wheels, Sany also offers the machine with a crawler undercarriage.

At 252 kW engine power, Sany boasts the most powerful engines in this class. The handlers can maintain the required speed even at peak loads thanks to its performance reserves.

With a wheelbase of 3,200 mm and standard four-wheel steering, the material handlers are particularly agile for quick manoeuvring.

Convenient basic equipment is included as standard in addition to comprehensive safety components. For example, air conditioning, an air-suspension seat, and numerous LED work spotlights are supplied ex-works. Furthermore, there are many additional options to choose from.
