SENNEBOGEN 895 E "Thumbs up" for the excellent cooperation
05.06.2020

What does it take to build the largest handling machine in the world?

The answer is clear: a great team, because only together can great things be achieved. And indeed, there is hardly a single SENNEBOGEN employee from Straubing who has not been involved in the "895 E" project in some way or other - after all, with this machine everything is simply BIG. But because we cannot introduce all the employees and their tasks here, we would simply like to say once again, "Thank you, you did a great job. Nevertheless, today we would like to highlight two people who played a major role in project 895 E.

"The machine is always first created in the head", explains designer Ali Gülyaz, "only then does the drawing take place". So while Gülyaz designs and the machine slowly takes shape on the computer, Matthias Spitlbauer already has very concrete work processes in his head. As the master craftsman responsible for the assembly of large machines, he not only has to plan very precisely, but also needs the appropriate lifting equipment for such a machine dimension in order to be able to assemble the giant 895 E.

"At least two cranes and several working platforms are constantly in use when we assemble such machines," he explains. At SENNEBOGEN, all large machines are first completely assembled and thoroughly tested in the factory before they are delivered to the customer.

"The 895 E is an impressive example of just how different and custom-designed especially the large machines can be. While the first machines with electric drive and crawler undercarriage were developed, further variants followed in the production plan with a diesel version, the rail solution and the mobile undercarriage with 80 wheel sets," reports Ali Gülyaz.

"Close coordination across departments is the be-all and end-all - only in this way can we reliably cover our wide range of variants,"  Matthias Spitlbauer adds. The two agree that there is a lot of personal discussion and that everyone has to think along for the other person, to put themselves in the other person's shoes, to put themselves in the other person's shoes and to understand the different processes and requirements. In recent months, two of these giants, each with a dead weight of around 420 t and a reach of 40 m, have been completed at the same time. This proves once again how efficient the Straubing plant and its employees are. Ali Gülyaz and Matthias Spitlbauer give a "thumbs up" for this!
