The 817E is the smallest material handler in the German manufacturer’s range. Built at their Straubing plant near Munich, the 18.5 tonne material handler comes with a 8.5m pin height and reach allowing it to easily fill the bulk tippers leaving the site. The impressive ground level reach of 8m means it can service the Linderer shredder from a single point whilst remaining far enough away from the sloping roofline. The machine’s industrial K8ULM configuration allows it to carry a 300-litre rotating selector grab.
Sitting on a long, wide undercarriage with two pairs of stabilisers provides the 817E with a very stable platform to work from. Even at full reach and cross carriage, the machine doesn’t flinch and remains glued to the floor at all times.
The Sennebogen’s compact upper structure ensures the tight spaces in the processing area isn’t impacted by a large tail swing. Hidden beneath the compact frame is the clean, burning heart of the machine. Powered by a fuel-efficient, 100kW Cummins F3.8 engine, the 817E meets current StageV emissions regulations thanks to the manufacturer’s Single ModuleTM after treatment system, which combines DPF, SCR and urea dosing in one unit and ultimately takes up 50 percent less space and weighs 30 percent less than other systems. The entire engine and cooling pack is situated under a single, gullwing-style door on the offside of the machine, which opens wide to allow easy servicing access. The opposite side of the upper structure contains the Sennebogen’s unique electrical panel, which allows the easiest access to the entire electrical heart of the machine. With the restricted headroom in the building, the Sennebogen’s Maxcab is unable to rise to its full height in some positions but is able just to make that bit of difference to the operator and allow them a clean line of sight into the shredder when required.
Working in the dark and often dusty environment, Sennebogen’s standard LED lighting package cuts through the gloom with ease.
“We run the Sennebogen alongside a couple of wheeled loaders and having it mounted on the wheeled undercarriage has increased out productivity immensely.” Martin commented. “As the loaders are handling material coming into the plant, we can now quickly move the Sennebogen out of the way to load the bulkers.”
As this is the first Sennebogen to arrive on the fleet, the Wheeldon team have been very pleased with the machine so far. “Molson did exactly what they said they would do.” Martin explains. “They showed us the demonstrator machine and what it was capable of and on that performance, we bought the machine. It’s really made a huge difference to our productivity and our ability on site.”
