Staffordshire County Council has purchased two new Sennebogen 305 Multihandlers from the Sennebogen UK and Ireland distributor Hassell

Weighing in at 11 tonnes the Multihandler has foam filled tyres and features a two section telescopic boom extendible from 4.1 to 6.6 metres. The unit is also fitted with hydraulic quick change device operated from the driver’s cabin and a hook lift mechanism to handle the waste bins at both sites.

Both machines have also been ‘beefed up’ by Hassell with the option of a compaction framework attachment to allow compaction of the waste in the bins. Hassell also supplied a set of fork lifts with each machine which has added a third option to the machine handling for SCC.

The Sennebogen 305 has a hydraulically elevated cab which gives the SCC operators excellent all round vision when loading high sided vehicles or containers.

Fred Marsden, SCC waste facilities manager said: “The versatility of these machines allows them to carry out many different tasks around the site including the manoeuvring of the containers thereby reducing the demand on other service vehicles. It is also anticipated that the Sennobogen machines will assist in the operation of the new small trade waste schemes that are due to be opened at the Stafford and Cannock sites.”
