Port, harbour, quayside and on-vessel operations have opened a fresh avenue for McHale Plant Sales, based in Birdhill and Rathcoole, following its appointment as distributor for Terex Fuchs materials handling equipment in Ireland and Northern Ireland.

Terex Fuchs machines are widely used across shipping, freight, and bulk storage and handling. Typical applications include sorting and storing waste and scrap metal, building and handling timber and sawmill stockpiles, and managing dockyards alongside ship loading and unloading duties.

Favoured for their long reach and broad working radius, Fuchs handlers also feature a hydraulically powered, height-adjustable cab that provides operators with an elevated, bird's-eye view. This helps when sorting metals and other waste, creating timber piles, and maintaining clear sight-lines into a ship's hold during cargo movements.

The range is supported by a comprehensive suite of attachments, including five-finger grabs, clamps and bucket lifts tailored to specific tasks. For port and dockside work, a seven-strong line-up of grab-and-lift handlers includes electric-powered options in both mobile and fixed-position formats, with scope for modification and adaptation to meet individual customer requirements.
