Sennebogen handler serves as all-purpose machine

A U.K. disposal company invests in the new Sennebogen 821 E material handler.


Clearaway Ltd. in Rushock, England, offers full services in the recycling and disposal of household and industrial waste in South Essex and the surrounding areas. The company has a range of roll-on, roll-off bins that are placed on-site for customers, and then regularly exchanged and emptied as part of a delivery and pick-up service.

In 2018, after more than 10 years of experience in waste recycling, the company has invested in a new recycling and handling site in Basildon, England. When it came to choosing equipment for the new site, Clearaway Managing Director Paul Whitehair decided to try Sennebogen, based in Straubing, Germany.

"We needed to expand our on-site capacity in order to be able to continue working quickly and professionally for our growing customer base. For this reason, we decided to procure a new material handler from Sennebogen, and we are very pleased we did," Whitehair said.

Sennebogen says the new mobile Sennebogen 821 E material handler, delivered by the Bristol, England-based sales and service partner Molson Group in June 2018, has developed into an all-purpose machine for Clearaway. It is used to feed the company's Doppstadt shredder and presort the delivered materials and loading trucks. For the driver, Sennebogen says the best thing is the elevating comfortable Maxcab, the latest generation of which is even more ergonomic. Its view height of about 5.5 meters (18 feet) gives the driver an optimal overview.

The Sennebogen 821 E series is equipped with an 11-meter-long (36 feet) handling attachment, and the hydraulics are driven by an economical 104 kW tier 4 emissions standards diesel engine. The material handler is also equipped with a 650 l sorting grab and various other pieces of equipment useful for demanding recycling work. These include multiple peripheral cameras, a protective grate on the cab and a HydroClean ultra-fine particle oil filter.

"In the Sennebogen 821 E we have found the ideal machine for our requirements. Above all, the support supplied by reliable sales and service partner Molson is perfect,” Whitehair said. “Personally, my visit to the Sennebogen plants in Straubing and Wackersdorf was what convinced me. I have never before seen such well-organized and clean production of customer-specific machines – that impressed me."
