The Atlas 270MH is a high-performance 27-tonne material handler specifically optimized for the heavy-duty demands of the scrap and metal processing industries. Combining “Made in Germany” engineering with immense lifting power, the 270MH is built to handle oversized scrap, load shredders, and clear yards with industry-leading speed and precision.
Key Specifications & Performance
Operating Weight: 27,000 kg to 30,800 kg (configuration dependent).
Engine: Cummins QSB 6.7 (Stage V / Tier 4 Final) delivering 129 kW (175 HP).
Maximum Reach: Up to 14.8 meters (48.5 ft), providing massive coverage for high-sided scrap trailers and deep sorting pits.
Lifting Power: Enhanced hydraulic pressure (up to 350 bar) for aggressive grab cycles and high breakout forces.
Transmission: Power-shift transmission with travel speeds up to 20 km/h for rapid yard movement.
Engineered for Scrap & Metal Recovery
Extreme Stability: Built on a heavy-duty undercarriage with four reinforced outriggers, ensuring a rock-solid platform for lifting heavy steel beams and dense scrap bundles at full reach.
The “Lift-Cab” Advantage: Standard hydraulic cab elevation (up to 2.7m) provides operators with a critical bird’s-eye view into high-sided containers, shredder hoppers, and rail wagons.
Intelligent Safety (ISD): Equipped with load-limit control, pipe-break protection valves, and an overload warning system to prevent tipping during heavy lifts.
Debris Protection: Features a reversible fan and cyclone pre-filter as standard, preventing engine overheating in the dusty, metallic environments of scrap yards.
Operator Comfort: The ergonomic “Comfort” cabin includes an air-suspended seat, climate control, and a 270° camera system to maintain 360-degree awareness in busy work zones.
Advanced Hydraulics for Speed
The Atlas 270MH utilizes a dual-circuit hydraulic system that allows for independent, proportional control of all functions. This ensures the operator can lift, swing, and rotate the grab simultaneously without losing power or speed.
