The Sennebogen crane proved useful on a bridge project
German contractor König Bau has been using a new 2924 Sennebogen 643 telescopic crane for its bridge building projects. With a 30m boom, the machine places formwork units and structural elements with precision.

König Bau is headquartered in Kesselsdorf, Saxony and specialises in structural engineering and special civil engineering. The company has been relying on its Sennebogen telescopic crawler crane for a range of hoisting and loading tasks required at various construction sites since September 2015. The machine was supplied by sales and service partner Tecklenborg Baumaschinen and is said to offer good transportability and versatility, even in tight working spaces.

The first job for the machine was at the site of a new bridge to Hohenleipisch. The machine's continuously telescoping, 30m boom allowed the formwork elements to be placed accurately. At the same time, the machine also boasts maximum manoeuvrability thanks to its crawler tracks, allowing it to shunt and travel even under load. For the operator, not only the flexibility, but also the high stability and ability to operate the crane remotely are the major advantages versus conventional stationary cranes.

Thanks to its compact dimensions of just 9.7m in length and 3m in width when the undercarriage is retracted, the machine can be easily transported, allowing it to be moved quickly.
