New quality in shoreside cargo handling: Port of Berwick relies on the SENNEBOGEN 835 R Special

With a new SENNEBOGEN 835 R Special, now at Port of Berwick all ships can be safely unloaded regardless of the water level. A 3 m pipe-pylon and the elevating cab ensure an optimal overview and maximum safety.

The Port of Berwick is situated on the east coast of the North Sea at the mouth of the river Tweed. As England's northernmost town it combines historic ambiance and modern commerce. This is particularly evident at the port, where goods have been handled since 1876. Naturally modern material handling machines are used today. A new SENNEBOGEN 835 R Special, delivered by the UK and Ireland - Sennebogen Port Sales and Service Partner, E. H. Hassell and Sons, at the end of 2013, sets another milestone in the history of the port.

In Berwick, primarily bulk goods for agriculture are unloaded. However, in addition to handling fertilizer and feed, cement, timber, and piece goods are also moved with the SENNEBOGEN material handling machine. Thanks to the special material handling equipment of the new 835 R and supplemented with a 3 m pylon, now ships that call at the port can be safely loaded or unloaded at any tidal height. Operators and and the responsible persons expect higher efficiency and maximum flexibility from the new material handling machine. Tidal ranges of up to 4 m prevail at the site, a height differential that the machine can conveniently compensate. For the operator, the machine has been equipped with a 3 m height-adjustable Maxcab. All-round armored glass and the supplemental floor window offer an ideal overview and maximum safety. Thus the operator keeps his work area safely in view and can even work in the ship's hull with pinpoint precision. The new material handling machine handles up to 1,500 t of material daily.

The SENNEBOGEN 835 R Special is driven by a powerful 224 kW diesel engine. The equipment is 20 m long, and thanks to the 3.8 m wide crawler undercarriage, the machine is extremely stable even in heavy duty implementation. For port implementation, the 835 was filled with bio-oil in the factory, a special lacquer coating protects the metal parts from the saline sea air. A perimeter gallery offers optimal accessibility for regular machine maintenance. The extensive lighting package and three peripheral cameras round out the safety package.
