The ML 1200RP is Meclift´s response to the delicate handling of large size paper reels. The first truck was delivered to UPM Kaukas paper mill in Finland.

The telescopic twin boom configuration is integrated to a multiple arm with a rotating clamp. The clamp is attached to a beam between the two arms by means of a hydraulically operated pivot arm, enabling tilt movements. The machine is capable of lifting an 8 tonne-load to a clamp centre height of 5 metres, and has an outreach of 1.85 m. The key to the design is the open front end, which allows the booms to be retracted when carrying a reel in a vertical position between the front wheels. This reduces the wheel loadings significantly with a full load. This feature makes it possible to handle reels as heavy as 8 tonnes inside a rail wagon.

The tricycle wheel design with hydrostatic drive gives exceptional manoeuvrability and ability to work in narrow aisles less than 5 m in width.
