Sennebogen Partners with Midlantic Machinery

Constantino Lannes, president of Sennebogen LLC, which has U.S. headquarters in Charlotte, N.C., has announced that Midlantic Machinery has become the official distributor of Sennebogen material handlers for Central Pennsylvania. Sennebogen sales and service are available at Midlantic’s Harrisburg, Pa. and Wilkes-Barre, Pa. locations.

According to Shawn Gallagher, director of sales for Midlantic Machinery, based in Hatfield, Pa., the distributor actively pursued a partnership with Sennebogen in order to meet its mandate of diversifying its operations and expanding its area of interest.

“We felt that Sennebogen offered the right product to help us branch out in other market areas and meet the needs of our customers,” Gallagher says. “Since we took on the line in February 2009, it has been very well received in our marketplace.”

Gallagher says that Midlantic initially marketed its new Sennebogen line to local scrap operations, but the distributor knew that the purpose-built material handler was going to be a key to their ongoing diversification and growth. Thanks to the training Midlantic staff have received from Sennebogen’s Lannes,  regional sales manager Anthony Laslavic and service manager Jim Westlake, they have come to appreciate the machines’ numerous other potential applications, the distributor says.

“In addition to the scrap industry, we see our Sennebogen line addressing the needs of a myriad of customer applications, including forestry, port applications, aggregates, coal generation plants, wood processing operations and transfer stations, just to name a few,” says Gallagher. “To date, we have quoted a number of machines and at present have a unit in stock that we are using for demonstrations. Our customers are very interested in the capabilities and performance of the machine.”

Midlantic service technicians have been factory-trained and Gallagher says his service people are very impressed with the quality of the Sennebogen machines and their simplicity of design which allows for easy service and maintenance access.

SENNEBOGEN 340G telehandler improves the view in Macon County, NC

An elevated cab is one of several features improving operational efficiency at the Macon County Solid Waste Management agency in North Carolina. When it comes to waste management, efficiency, safety and reliability are priorities driving decisions from day one, according to staff members of the Macon County Solid Waste Management Department in western North Carolina. The agency operates a recycling plant in a facility originally designed to bale incoming materials. More recently, the building has undergone significant transformations centered around one machine: a SENNEBOGEN telehandler (telescopic handler).

“This ensures that Sennebogen customers receive the world-class support service and effort to keep them running at minimum cost,” says Gallagher.
