The Sennebogen 830E is a machine designed for material
handling applications. It has a typical operating
weight of around 39 tonnes.
The modelled version is fitted with an orange peel
grab.
Packaging
The model box is Sennebogen-branded and it includes some information about the real machine. Inside the model
is contained within cardboard-backed foam rubber.
There were no missing parts
or defects on the review model.
The assembly required is to fit a mirror, the handrails
and the grab.
Detail
The underside of the machine is simple with the axles modelled in
detail. The double plastic wheels
are detailed and the tyres have a good tread pattern.
The undercarriage is metal with plastic
stabiliser beams and pads at each end,and the colour match to the
metal parts is very good. There are textured metal
ladders and stepping points.
The cab is the latest Sennebogen Maxcab design, and it
has metal grab rails although the mirror is not
silvered. Inside the detailing is good with
distinct controls. The elevating mechanism is connected
by small brass rivets and the cable band is nice soft
material.
The body
casting is enhanced by the graphics which include small warning
signs and the Sennebogen name is embossed in the
counterweight casting. Also good is the rear
camera and the exhaust pipe.
At the front is a metal ladder leading to the roof where
there is texturing and painted detail. Metal
handrails surround the top of the engine compartment.
There are soft hoses running up the boom, across the stick, and
to the grab. The connection rivets used are
small, and there are two light blocks on the stick.
The sorting grab is plastic, presumably to keep the
weight down, and is nicely formed. Hydraulic hoses
from the stick clip on to it.
Features
It rolls well on its wheels. One axle steers to a good
angle, and it also
oscillates for use on uneven terrain.
The stabilisers can be lowered and the
pads pivot.
The cab elevates smoothly and stays horizontal
throughout.
The model rotates well.
The movement of the boom and stick is very good and the
cylinders have enough stiffness to hold any pose. At
maximum reach the model remains stable.
The sorting grab rotates and it opens and closes with
the interlocking shells moving together. It is
detachable.
The handrails can be removed and the model adopts a realistic transport pose
with the exception of the platform outside the cab which
would have been better if it was removable.
Quality
This a good quality model by Conrad with plastic used
appropriately.
The paintwork is very good with nice sharp
detailed graphics
throughout.
Price
It is good value.
Overall
This is another solid Sennebogen model by Conrad. It
has a good balance between detailing and functionality.
