A material handler is a specialist piece of machinery built to lift, sort and move heavy or bulky materials, typically in recycling yards, metal processing plants, ports and demolition sites. Unlike a standard excavator, material handlers are designed with a raised cab and extended reach for better visibility and control when working with attachments like grabs or grapples.

We supply material handlers from SANY, Guidetti, Exstel, CMB, Bronneberg and Bateman, giving you a genuine choice of specification depending on your sector and site requirements. As the official UK dealer for SANY, we can also offer expert support and genuine parts alongside the machine itself.

Yes. Alongside our range for sale, Hassell’s offers material handler hire for short and long-term projects, with certified operators available on request. This tends to suit businesses working to a fixed project timeline rather than an ongoing operational need.

The right material handler depends on the sector you’re working in, the reach you need and the attachments you’ll be running. A scrap yard has different requirements to a port operation or a demolition site, so our team will talk through your operation before recommending a specification.

Yes. We offer finance options including hire purchase and finance lease, so you can spread the cost of a material handler over a term that suits your budget rather than paying outright.

Hassell’s provides ongoing servicing for material handlers, carried out by experienced engineers using genuine parts. Flexible service contracts are available if you’d rather plan maintenance costs in advance, and our nationwide team can also handle urgent breakdown support. Learn more about servicing.
