SENNEBOGEN 718 E – the all-rounder for forest management

Established in 1993, Schumacher Garten- & Landschaftspflege GmbH & Co. KG and its 21-strong team specialize in landscape gardening. Felling and clearing operations, including felling problematic trees, clearing construction sites, grinding tree roots, forestry mulching operations, tree care and shredding, are day-to-day business at the family company, headquartered in the North-Rhine Westphalia region of Germany. This wide range of tasks is now supported by a flexible specialist for harvesting fuel wood and landscaping: the SENNEBOGEN 718 E.

With the mission of achieving the best results for both nature and customers and a focus on environmentally friendly operation, the company invested in a SENNEBOGEN 718 E material handler. After all, this machine lives up to its “Green Efficiency” reputation: Installed as standard, the SENNEBOGEN system offers savings potentials of up to 20% fuel in EcoMode, good for both the environment and the operator’s wallet.

Thanks to the 13-meter-long telescoping stick and a powerful 119 kW diesel engine, the SENNEBOGEN 718 E material handler is well equipped for a multitude of felling and clearing operations. Weighing approximately 22 t, the mobile all-rounder is also extremely service-friendly: Easy access to all machine components, an engine installed in longitudinal direction and a structured layout of its uppercarriage make working on the machine a breeze.

As with all SENNEBOGEN material handlers, the cab can be elevated by 2.70 m to provide an optimal view of the entire work area. Additionally, the cab can be tilted by 30°, enabling complete and trouble-free control over the removal of high-hanging limbs. The operator is ideally protected from falling branches thanks to the additional protective grating on the windshield and roof.

A sliding door gives the driver easy and safe access to the comfortable Maxcab with an ergonomically optimized driver seat that is gentle on the back and ensures fatigue-free working. The SENNEBOGEN 718 E also features the proven interactive SENCON control system that allows drivers to intuitively monitor the machine’s operating state and consumption.

Managing Director Michael Schumacher reaffirms his decision to purchase: “With its power and the sensitive control, the machine is optimally equipped to handle the difficult tasks of our industry. At the same time, it has to be virtually maintenance-free and operate reliably. For years, SENNEBOGEN has offered us the highest quality with top service. Not least because Schlüter Baumaschinen has proven to be an extremely reliable service partner.”

SENNEBOGEN dealer Schlüter Baumaschinen from Erwitte, Germany, has stood by the side of Schumacher since 1995.
