Company Announcement - At a massive 45 tonnes the Magni HTH 45.14 is the world’s biggest telehandler, and it’s available in Australia. The monstrous machine is being distributed locally by Magni Telehandlers Australia, who are bringing a range of the specialist machines to the domestic market. Magni Telehandlers Australia Product Manager Greg Sealey says the Magni HTH line offers the broadest range of high capacity fixed boom telehandlers in the market. “There are nine models, from 10 tonne capacity and 9.7m lift height to 45 tonne capacity and 14m lift height. This opens up a range of mining, resource and heavy industrial applications for operators and specialist hire and rental companies serving those markets,” Greg says. “The HTH telehandlers feature their own range of high-capacity attachments designed for heavy duty applications, no matter whether the operator is working in oil and gas, mining or construction.”

Among those options are three different fork carriages, one of which is extendible and comes fitted with a fork positioner. Other attachments include tyre clamps, a wheel hub handler, universal cylinder handlers, strut handlers, rear-hub handlers and a conveyor belt handler with 25 T capacity.

“For every job, there is a solution,” Greg says. HTH models up to 20 tonnes are powered by the JCB Ecomax engine, with larger models powered by Daimler Mercedes Benz Euro 3 engines. Magni Telehandlers Australia also distributes the RTH range of slewing telehandlers, with options ranging from four to six tonnes capacity and 18-35m lift height. “The Magni RTH machines use a JCB Ecomax engine that delivers fuel savings of up to 10 per cent over competitors, and matches this to an electronically controlled Bosch Rexroth transmission,” Greg says. The models can work with a wide range of attachments including forks, winches, crane hooks, baskets, platforms, jibs, brick clamps, concrete kibbles and pipe reels. “Through their ability to operate with a wide range of attachments, Magni RTH and HTH telehandlers can do the work of several specialist machines like forklifts, cranes and access platforms,” Greg says. Magni has a patented safe quick-attach for changing attachments, and each attachment has an RFID code that allows the telehandler’s load management system to identify the attachment and apply the correct load chart automatically.

“Magni is known throughout the world for its advanced technology, strength and versatility. The intuitive operation, quality, presentation and performance of the range has ensured they’re the product of choice for leading operations worldwide; and we’re already seeing strong interest in Australia,” Greg says. “The ROPS/FOPS cabs are very user friendly, and are pressurised to provide a dust-free environment. Joystick controls and a touch screen display complete the package.” Magni Telehandlers Australia offers a national support network to ensure hire and rental customers and direct users will enjoy the combination of a world-leading product together with an experienced Australian professional support network. The first Magni sold in Australia is hard at work for a Queensland-based hire and rental company, which chose a 15.10 model for use in a large-scale gas project. ,“These telehandlers are so well suited to large scale projects with demanding requirements that we expect to see many more on worksites around the country soon,” Greg says.
