They are designed to work on applications such as scrap, wood, bulky goods, special recycling, port applications and vacuum operations. Their features have been developed to include fast cycle times, optimised handling, mechanical expertise, reliability, extended life span and versatility, providing a range of diverse equipment to meet customer expectations.

Exhibited at the show was the Atlas 350 MH which is powered by a turbocharged 180kW Deutz TCD 6.1l engine, with the machine on display equipped with a four tine scrap grapple. The 200 is powered by a turbocharged Deutz TCD 6.1l engine with an output of 129kW and was shown with a sorting grapple.
