The SENNEBOGEN 880 Mobile currently used at Shoreham Port in England is the world's largest and unique mobile material handling machine. The 180-ton machine is impressive in its size with a 26 m range and a maximum payload of 30 tons. The investment made by Shoreham Port underlines a consistent focus on customer needs and future requirements in developing new business.

The range of attachments includes; 6.8m3 clamshell grab, 20t hook, 30t hook and 10m3 biomass grab. In addition to that the machine can also attach a semi-automatic timber spreader and 15 t capacity spreader beam. In combination with the excellent mobility of the 880 machine at Shoreham Port it is an extremely flexible solution to effectively load and unload ships with noticeably shorter turnaround times. The spacious and comfortable cabin provides the port driver the best possible working conditions. The optimum visibility, the sensitive control and the ergonomic arrangement of all controls ensure fast cycle times with high security.
