TSR Recycling adds electrical scrap handler in Germany

Germany’s TSR Recycling GmbH & Co. KG (TSR) has purchased a new Sennebogen 835 Crawler Electro material handler for its Halle, Germany, yard.

The electrically powered E-series Sennebogen 835 Crawler Special was delivered to the TSR subsidiary in Halle by Sennebogen sales and service partner Tecklenborg Baumaschinen GmbH.

Sennebogen says the machine has a 160-kilowatt electric motor and reach measuring more than 20 meters (65 feet) in length.

TSR uses the machine to feed its scrap metal shears and to load rail cars and trucks. According to Sennebogen, the handler’s flexible crawler undercarriage allows the machine to be used elsewhere on the site as and its 35-meter (114 feet) trailing cable permits considerable work range.

Sennebogen says one purchase criteria of the machine was the reduced operating costs—up to 50 percent—compared with diesel machines. Other advantages, the company says, are reduced background noise, longer service intervals and continuous work without stopping to refuel.

When sorting materials and feeding the scrap metal shears the operator has an unobstructed view of the work area from the cab, Sennebogen says. The handler features the company’s Maxcab, which can be elevated 2.7 meters (8.5 feet), with a straight armored glass windshield, together with an additional height increase of 3 meters (9.5 feet) via pipe-pylon, Sennebogen reports, offering the operator a view height of close to 9 meters (29.5 feet).

The handler also features a lighting package, two surrounding cameras and additional walkways and railings on the upper carriage.
