A 2924 Sennebogen 6130 HD duty cycle crawler crane is said to be being successfully used by Gral Schotter to extract gravel near Graz, Austria.

In the Wundschuh gravel pit, the 6130 HD model is working in dragline bucket operation. At an extraction depth of 13m the crawler crane is said to be penetrating particularly hard layers, a key reason why Gral Schotter was keen to use a duty cycle crawler crane of its size. An impressive 354kW is provided by the model’s diesel engine. The 6130 HD’s two powerful winches each offer up to 30tonnes pulling force, and together with the strong crawler running gear and a service-friendly concept, the machine fully satisfies the requirements.

Equipped with a 4.5m³ Rädlinger HS drag bucket and the 30m boom, according to Sennebogen around 280tonnes of gravel per hour can be extracted with the 6130 HD. Configured for dynamic loads and thanks to its maximum strength and pre-adjustable freefall speed, the machine is ideally suited for dragline bucket operation. In addition to the high capacity and robust design, the Sennebogen 6130 is also said to offer easy operation and a high level of service-friendliness. The Maxcab comfort cab is said to offer a pleasant work environment and an optimal overview for the operator. Supplemental cameras ensure an ideal all-round view and added safety in daily operation.
