Seven SENNEBOGENs at Piessens Materieel NV.

Piessens Materiell NV is now in its third generation of handling used metal and scrap recycling in the Antwerp metropolitan area. For almost as long, the family-owned company has trusted in the reliable material handling machines from SENNEBOGEN. A total of seven machines currently work on the large-scale scrapyard and handle around 4000 t of scrap per week. An additional machine, a modern 850 M, was added to the machine park in mid-2013. Equipped with a powerful 268 kW Cummins diesel engine, the machine effortlessly moves the 1500 l multi-shell grab and so can work very efficiently and especially quickly. The recycling company has long relied completely on the broad product assortment of SENNEBOGEN material handling machines. From the mobile 825 M, which is used especially for sorting tasks, up to the large loading machines 840 and 850, the green machines impress their users in daily operation. Piessens also uses an electrically operated SENNEBOGEN 835 Electro with track chassis for feeding the scrap metal shears. The advantages of the electric drive are apparent - cost savings and working without stopping for refueling are only some of them.

For the driver, the ergonomic maXcab comfort cabin offers the best overview and maximum operating comfort. Particularly when the job is to pile material up to great heights, the elevating cab of the new SENNEBOGEN 850 M, which can run up to 6.80 m high, has proven itself ideally.

With a maximum range of 19 m, the new 850 not only impresses users when feeding the two scrap metal shears, but also when loading ships. Thanks to centrally accessible maintenance and service points, daily servicing of the machines can be performed conveniently and quickly from the ground. Besides simple operation, for the driver it is the good support from the local sales partner, Kuiken Cramat, that especially counts. The dealer is the competent contact partner on site and impresses users through its fast service and reliable supply of replacement parts.
