 Comment on this model.
The Sennebogen
875E is a material handler designed for port
applications. The overall weight of the machine mounted
on wheels is around 165 tonnes.
This model is the wheeled mobile version and comes with clamshell
and orange peel grabs.
Packaging
The box is large, and inside the model is held within expanded polystyrene trays.
The review model had no missing parts. One hydraulic
hose was loosely fixed and was reglued.
A few technical details of the real machine are included
on the box but there are no instructions for the model.
Detail
The undercarriage has linked steering. The rubber
tyres are slightly shiny and are mounted on detailed
wheels. Some of the wheels had movement at the
bearings and so had to be adjusted to stand straight.
The stabiliser beams are metal and the large metal pads
are mounted on visible screw threads. Handrails at
each end are metal mounted on plastic walkways.
The cab is metal with decent interior
detailing and plastic floodlights are mounted on the
roof. The cab linkage has very good cabling
running to the cab.
The body is metal and it is
very nicely finished with Sennebogen embossed at the
rear. There are small graphics which add detail.
The walkways have metal handrails and plastic textured flooring.
However they did not sit properly level on the review
model.
The boom and stick are mainly metal with soft hoses
running along the top surface. Hoses run to the
hydraulic rams which have plastic jackets with an
excellent colour match.
The clamshell grab is a metal part and hydraulic hoses
are modelled. The orange peel grab is of the same
quality and looks very good.
Features
The wheels roll well enough, and there is linked
steering which achieves a moderate angle. However
the mechanism is not precise.
The access hatch on the body platform can be opened and
closed.
The model rotates smoothly enough, with some tilting on
the review model.
The cab linkage has a good range and the rams can hold a
pose. The range of movement is very good, and the cab
can be set down at ground level.
The boom and stick movement is good. However the boom hydraulic rams
cannot hold every pose and they were sticky and jerky in
action.
The clamshell grab rotates freely and swings also.
Each half opens fully but the two halves are not
interlocked so they open separately.
The orange peel grab swings and each tine opens and
closes separately. There is enough stiffness to
grip a load.
Quality
The quality is mostly very good with a high metal content.
The paintwork has a good finish and the graphics are
very sharp.
Price
The model is large and so is good value.
Overall
This variation of the 875E is not as robustly engineered
as the crawler track version, and it is less steady on
the wheels and stabilisers. However the main plus
point is that it looks very good when properly set up.
Footnotes
The model first appeared at the Bauma Exhibition 2016.
A tracked version was also produced as
Ros model 187732.
