Bavarian workload for a Sennebogen 835 E-series material handler

Sennebogen 835 E-series material handler feeds the LZR concrete plant in Kitzingen, Bavaria
Sand and gravel extraction in the Main valley has always been a mainstay of family-owned LZR - Lenz Ziegler Reifenscheid - in Kitzingen, Bavaria. Every day, around 800tonnes arrive at the gravel plant via the Main River.


The company not only supplies ready-mixed concrete, but is active in demolition and waste disposal. Since mid-2017, a 2924 Sennebogen 835 E-series material handler has been operating at the Kitzingen site. Equipped for an 18m reach and with a 2000-l double-shell grab, operator Uwe Marx dredges gravel from ship hulls or directly feeds the processing units of the concrete mixing plant. For an optimal view of the work area and downward into the hulls, the 835 E was specified with an elevating and extendable cab.

This additional benefit in work safety and comfort was one of the decisive factors when looking for a new material handler, Marx said. For daily operation, he especially appreciates the low maintenance requirements, the easily accessible components and the machine's simple, straightforward engineering. The machine is equipped with a 224kW diesel engine complying with Tier 4 Final emissions control requirements. Its all-wheel travel drive allows it to be used flexibly all across the company premises.

    Paving machines vary considerably in North America compared with those units used elsewhere. On a worldwide basis, pavers with tamper bar screeds are popular having been developed in Europe and also favoured by Japanese and Chinese firms. But in the US the length of highways to be constructed resulted in a focus on high production pavers, which still continues today. North America and Latin America are key markets for these machines, with Australia being one of the few territories to employ both European an
