Staffordshire County Council (SCC) have recently purchased
two new Sennebogen 305 Multihandlers from the Sennebogen UK
and Ireland distributor Hassells of Stoke-on-Trent for
handling duties at their Stafford and Cannock waste
recycling centres.
Having previously purchased a Sennebogen 305 Multihandler
from Hassells for their operation in Stone, Staffordshire
the decision to add another two versatile and robust
machines endorsed Sennebogen as supplier of choice for its
requirements.
Weighing in at 11 tonnes the Sennebogen is of strong build
quality and offers increased durability and component life
expectancy. Operating on foam filled tyres the Sennebogen
305 features a two section telescopic boom as standard
equipment and is hydraulically extendable from 4.1 to 6.6
metres.
Featuring a hydraulic quick change device operated from the
driver’s cabin a 2.5 cubic metre the two machines are fitted
with a hook lift mechanism enabling easy and efficient
handling of the waste bins at both sites. Both machines have
also been ‘beefed up’ by Hassells and have the option of a
compaction framework attachment to allow compaction of the
waste in the bins. Hassells also supplied a set of fork
lifts with each machine which has added a third option to
the machine handling for Staffordshire CC.
The Sennebogen 305 also features a hydraulically elevated
cabin and 3 position steering which provides the SCC
operators with improved vision, exceptional maneuverability
and excellent all round vision when loading high sided
vehicles or containers.
Excellent service accessibility and extended maintenance
intervals also offer reduced maintenance costs on the 305
machines.
Fred Marsden – SCC Waste Facilities Manager, commented, “The
versatility of these machines allows them to carry out many
different tasks around the site one of which is the
manoeuvring of the containers thereby reducing the demand on
other service vehicles. It is also anticipated that the
Sennobogen machines will assist in the operation of the new
small trade waste schemes that are due to be opened at the
Stafford and Cannock sites.”
