As a family-owned business with over 55 years’ experience, Sennebogen says it remains an approachable company, while being a globally established innovator and manufacturer of material handling and crane engineering

Sennebogen’s focus on various product segments is consistently applied in development, product management, sales organisation and the company’s production plants in Germany, says Markus Bauer of the company’s international marketing department.

“In product development, we focus on availability and reliability of our products. Sennebogen has the competence to use technology in an intelligent way, thus handling complexity and high performance without over-engineering. Our Green Line timber handling machines fulfil the requirements of modern process machines,he says.

“They are specially designed to be extremely strong driving and transport machines with exceptionally high lifting capacities, enabling materials and loads to be quickly and safely transported and stacked in the tightest traffic,adds Mr Bauer.

Models 723 M-HD, 730 M-HD and 735 M-HD offer working weights of 22 to 38.5 tonnes and their engines also have strong drive systems which put the power directly onto the road without shifting, ensuring top-class driving characteristics and acceleration, claims the company. It says that higher lifting capacities have been achieved with newly-designed kinematics while a specially-strong turning drive enables a powerful, fast and, above all, controlled slewing at the highest load range.

The company also claims that a very low turning and trailing radius makes working and manoeuvring in small spaces easy, while an extra-large support base, wide-gauge axles and a long wheelbase, guarantee stability.

“Automatic steering mode switching is also standard for safe, comfortable steering,says Mr Bauer. “Another important aspect is the service-friendliness of the machines, with the engine mounted longitudinally so it is extremely accessible and service can be performed from the ground, quickly and comfortably. “We offer high performance in operation and reduced maintenance costs, in combination with excellent working and safety conditions,he adds.

The new Sennebogen 718 is said to be a unique specialist machine for fuel wood harvest and landscape conservation, taking loads up to 1.6 tonnes at a long, 13m, reach, designed to make problematic tree removal possible at reduced safety distances. It also offers attachments such as the harvester and collector aggregate and wood grab.

“The 718 also offers optimal overview and safety, even over bank tops, with the Multicab comfort cab, which can be elevated to a viewing height of 4.8m,says Mr Bauer.
