June 10, 2025
Hudson, IL—The steel manufacturing and scrap metal and recycling industries are getting the North American-built heavy-duty material handler they asked for with the new BMH60A from Brandt. Brandt’s machines are the only North American-designed, -built, and -supported material handlers on the market.
The BMH60A is purpose built for the industry with greater power, uptime, and efficiency. It is made with John Deere components that align to North American standards to make it easier and quicker to source parts.
“Locally accessible parts and service is a real gamechanger for the industry. It will have a huge impact on uptime, because you won’t have to wait for parts coming from overseas,” says Jason Klassen, Senior VP Sales—Manufactured Products at Brandt. “As well, because this material handler is built on proven John Deere components, it delivers exceptional reliability along with those easy-to-find and maintain parts. This is a machine you can truly count on.”
Additional features include rapid cycle times that allow operators to get the job done faster, and an energy recovery system coupled with auto-idle/shutdown that maximizes fuel efficiency, contributing to reduced cost of operation and wear of machine components. It also delivers greater visibility, ease of use, and operator comfort.
The BMH60A and the full lineup of Brandt material handlers was developed through Brandt’s collaborative product design process, which involved extensive consultations with contractors and operators.
“We collaborated with the people who would be using this machine to ensure it would improve productivity, reduce downtime, and provide a lower cost of operation,” says Chris Semple, President—Manufactured Products at Brandt. “The feedback we have received so far has been overwhelmingly positive, and we are very proud to release the BMH60A to better serve the industry.”
