With a maximum working height of 51 metres, the Magni RTH 8.51 is the world’s tallest rotating telescopic handler, replacing the previous world record holder, the RTH 6.51.
The new RTH 8.51 integrates the 3 reach modes featured on the other models in the range into a single unit:
M1 – Max Outreach Mode
Standard on all Magni rotating telescopic handlers, it features a unique extension sequence, with the smaller end sections extended first and the larger sections kept until last. This extension mode increases both the range and the load capacity of the boom’s horizontal reach. It also provides greater load capacity at maximum height.
M2 – Max Capacity Mode
This mode is a leading-edge characteristic provided on RTH 8.35, 8.39 and 8.46 models. It extends the boom sections in a specific order, starting with the largest and finishing with the smallest sections. This configuration optimises load capacity in the early stages of extension, thus enabling the boom to handle bigger loads than Max Outreach Mode. This mode is therefore ideal for operations which require lifting of heavy loads within a short operating range.
M3 – Full Power Mode
M3 revolutionises the operation of Magni telescopic handlers, deactivating boom extension and retraction when the working position is reached in order to increase load capacity and improve operating stability. Available on 6- and 8-tonne RTH models, this feature, when combined with Magni winches or winch booms, provides load capacity performance comparable with that of off-road cranes for a given reach. This mode allows boom extension to be blocked to reduce the impact of the dynamic forces generated by friction on the chains. In practice, extension is deactivated while rotation and lifting are still enabled, in exactly the same way as on telescopic boom cranes. The main benefit of this function is the significant increase in load capacity, achieved by eliminating the dynamic effects generated by the boom extension system. Once these forces have been eliminated, the horizontal boom can be extended further, increasing reach capacity.
These modes enable the operator to adapt the machine’s performance to the application, thus maximising both safety and efficiency.
Thanks to its full range of platform attachments, including the new TP 4.5.10, the machine can reach a working height of 63 metres, making it a viable alternative to even the tallest aerial platforms on the market. The RTH 8.51 is compatible with more than 60 attachments, enabling it to satisfy the requirements of different sectors. It can be equipped with Magni TH’s exclusive Twin Power system, which enables it to operate in full electric mode by connecting to a 400V power socket, reducing environmental impact and noise in sensitive and indoor applications.
