Sennebogen 835G Case Study – Blumer Lehmann, Gossau, Switzerland
August 20, 2024
When a company with 150years’ experience looks to expand its operations, it’s only natural that they would choose an equipment manufacturer with an equally impressive track record.
That’s why Swiss timber supplier, Blumer Lehmann, turned to materials handling experts, Sennebogen when it came to expanding their plant at Gossau in north east Switzerland, close to the Austrian border. Working closely with the sector leading manufacturer, Blumer Lehmann selected the powerful Sennebogen 835G to handle the timber at their new, extended facilities.
Powerful and precise
With large quantities of sustainably sourced raw timber and finished timber products to be manoeuvred around their new complex, Blumer Lehmann needed a materials handler that could take heavy loads in its stride. In addition, they required a machine that could lift and place these valuable materials with precision within the plant.
As a sustainability-focussed company, Blumer Lehmann also wanted a materials handler that was energy efficient and environmentally friendly, as well as being easy to operate, service and maintain.
The Sennebogen 835G delivered all of these demands and more, with a green hybrid engine and a reach of 20metres, combined in a modular design that could be configured to meet the exact requirements of the new extended timber processing plant.
Fully adaptable
The Sennebogen 835G is the latest version of the popular 835 range, improving further on the tried and tested success of the 835E series. It is available as a wheeled or tracked materials handler, or, as Blumer Lehmann have done, it can be adapted to run on fixed tracks within an existing plant.
A high performance machine for high volume operations, the Sennebogen 835G can handle up to 800t per hour with power and precision, and can operate equally well in a wide range of conditions, from industrial portside settings to the heart of rural Switzerland.
Blumer Lehmann Production Manager, Josua Preisig was certainly impressed, telling Awesome Earthmovers magazine:
“We opted for the Sennebogen 835G because we were looking for a powerful and strong machine,” he says. “So far we are very satisfied. We are very surprised at the power we are able to bring to the machine on the track.”
Sustainable power
The G-series upgrade adds the many benefits of the Sennebogen Green Hybrid energy recovery system, which reduces fuel costs by up to 30% while actually increasing performance in the process.
Companies who are looking for even greater environmental specification can also opt for Sennebogen’s electric powerplant, which can deliver up to a 50% reduction in operating costs. As world leaders in electric material handlers, Sennebogen are at the cutting edge of cleaner, greener power, delivering lower emissions and longer service intervals, alongside low noise and vibration for increased operator comfort.
Whichever power system you choose, you’ll find the Sennebogen 835G is an excellent long-term investment. It underlines its day-to-day sustainable credentials with robust components, extending machine life, even when in demanding continuous use. This not only protects your budgets, but also adds to sustainability by removing the need for regular replacement machines that use up precious raw materials and require energy intensive production.
