 Comment on this model.
The Sennebogen
875E is a material handler designed for port
applications. The overall weight of the machine mounted
on crawler tracks is around 165 tonnes.
This model is the crawler track 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 had a loose end which was easily reglued.
A few technical details of the real machine are included
on the box but there are no instructions for the model.
Detail
The tracks are metal and they
are mounted on reasonably detailed track frames with no moving rollers.
The legs are robust with the connections to the track
frames detailed with bolt heads. Steps with metal hand
rails rise up to an intermediate platform which has a
plastic textured floor surface. A further ladder rises
to the body platform which has more textured flooring.
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 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 crawler tracks roll on a rough surface, and they are
spring loaded to maintain tension.
The access hatch on the body platform can be opened and
closed.
The model rotates smoothly.
The cab linkage has a good range but some looseness in
the rams means that not every pose can be held. One
issue on the review model was that the cab platform
could not quite properly match up to the body platform
in the parking position.
The boom and stick movement is good. However the boom hydraulic rams
cannot hold every pose.
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 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 is another impressive looking Sennebogen material
handler and it looks striking in the green colour
scheme. It is good to see an incremental
improvement from Ros compared to their previous similar
Sennebogen model.
Footnotes
The model first appeared at the Bauma Exhibition 2016.
A wheeled version was also produced as
Ros model 187731.
