Material Re-Handler 360° – N722
Introduction
introduction
introduction
Material Re-Handlers (360°) are specialised items of plant designed for the safe lifting, moving, sorting, and loading of bulk materials. Commonly used across recycling, waste management, ports, demolition, timber processing, and scrap industries, these machines are essential for handling materials such as scrap metal, wood, construction waste, aggregates, and general refuse. Unlike standard excavators, material re-handlers are purpose-built for continuous handling operations. They typically feature an elevated operator cab for improved visibility, a long reach boom, 360-degree slew capability, and attachments such as grabs, magnets, or clamshell buckets. The NPORS Material Re-Handler 360° training programme provides operators with the knowledge, skills, and practical experience required to operate this equipment safely, efficiently, and in accordance with current legislation and industry best practice.
