When your operation demands a heavy-duty powerhouse for the largest scrap and waste processing facilities, the ATLAS 520MH Material Handling Excavator sets the industrial standard. As the flagship of the ATLAS range, the 520MH is built on a century of German engineering to handle the high-volume requirements of modern ports and recycling terminals.

Engineered to dominate large-scale sites, this 57-tonne titan offers an unmatched combination of extreme stability and a massive 21.9-metre reach, specifically designed for high-cycle ship loading and deep-hold clearance.

Key Features of the ATLAS 520MH

• Maximum Reach: An industry-leading 21.9-metre working range allows for effortless handling across expansive yards and deep-sea vessels.
• Banana Boom: A specialized, curved boom design enables the arm to reach over high ship walls and access the furthest corners of a vessel’s hold.
• Intelligent Hydraulics: The AWE 5 load-sensing system provides three pre-set modes (Fine, Eco, and Power) to balance high-speed movements with fuel efficiency.
• Vario-Cab System: For total site awareness, the cab elevates 3 metres high and extends 2.5 metres forward, providing a direct line of sight into shredders or containers.
• Ultra-Quiet Environment: The redesigned operator cabin is insulated to an industry-best 70 dB(A), reducing fatigue during intensive 24/7 operations.

Designed for Port and Large-Scale Yard Efficiency

The ATLAS 520MH is a versatile powerhouse, working across applications such as scrap, port logistics, and specialized recycling. For maximum perspective, the entire upper carriage can be mounted on an optional 2.0-metre pylon, allowing the operator to look deep into the holds of large vessels even at high tide.

The robust undercarriage is built with 70-tonne special excavator axles and dual slewing gears to distribute massive loads evenly. Maintenance is made simple with an automatic central lubrication system and an adjustable reverse fan that keeps the 313 HP Deutz engine cool in the most debris-heavy environments.

Why Choose the ATLAS 520MH?

The ATLAS 520MH is the ideal choice for operators seeking the highest capacity and stability for deep-sea port or heavy scrap operations. With its 3-minute delayed battery isolation (ensuring DEF fluid returns to the tank) and robust structural steelwork, it delivers a high handling capacity at a low cost-per-tonne, making it a reliable heart for any large-scale industrial site.
