Handling capacity doubled – consumption reduced
Double the Performance – Lower Consumption: With the SENNEBOGEN 865 E Hybrid, the Port of Sutton Bridge has nearly doubled its annual material handling volumes – with 27% less fuel consumption. The outstanding service provided by SENNEBOGEN’s local sales and service partner Molson prompted the port to order a second, identical material handler.
Handling of scrap metal, packaged sand, cement, fertilizers and bricks
The dry cargo terminal on the east coast of the UK is part of the Goldstar Metal Traders Group and specializes in handling scrap metal, packaged sand, cement, fertilizers and bricks. Thanks to the robust quay construction, heavy goods are also increasingly coming into focus. Ships of up to 3,000 DWT can be reliably handled at the 350-meter-long quay, and ships of up to 5,000 DWT are even possible at the highest tides.
Fast and precise handling between ship and truck
The SENNEBOGEN 865 E impresses during port handling in Sutton Bridge with a reach of 24 meters and a 1.8 m³ orange peel grab with integrated weighing system - for fast and precise handling between ship and truck. The mobile undercarriage with solid rubber tires ensures optimum flexibility on the port site. The 865 E combines a powerful but efficient 261 kW diesel engine with the SENNEBOGEN Green Hybrid recuperation system, which additionally saves up to 30 % of operating costs.
“It's a very comfortable cab for long shifts.”
27 % less consumption
"This year we will achieve around 200,000 tons of material handled, which would not have been possible without the new SENNEBOGEN 865 E. At the same time, we are using less fuel. 27% less consumption, which saves us around 19,000 pounds per year," emphasizes port manager Gavin Patrick.
Unrestricted view into the hull and truck
The two machine operators at the Sutton Bridge site work in efficient day shifts. "It's a very comfortable cab for long shifts," adds operator John Baggaley, who appreciates the spacious Maxcab cab for its all-round visibility and operator ergonomics.
The DAB radio, Bluetooth and heated driver's seat are just some of the features. The Skylift elevating cab also enables optimal working height for unrestricted visibility into ships hull and truck beds.
Impeccable support from the service partner Molson
Port manager Gavin Patrick particularly emphasizes the flawless support provided by service partner Molson: "When a hydraulic hose came loose late at night, the machine was ready for use again at 7 a.m. the next morning. We now have so much confidence that we have already ordered a second, identical machine."
With significantly increased handling capacity and reduced fuel consumption, the SENNEBOGEN 865 E Hybrid has made the port of Sutton Bridge fit for further growth. The order for a second machine underlines the expansion course and the confidence in the powerful and efficient technology.
