The smaller footprint of the 830 R-HDD means that, with its crawler tracks retracted for transport, the machine can simply drive onto a standard flatdeck trailer and quickly move on to the next job without waivers.

Purpose-built material handlers have taken huge strides into applications once reserved for re-purposed excavators. Across the board, material handlers are lighter, faster and more efficient than their earthmoving counterparts. These qualities are much in demand by demolition contractors, but the work they do calls for a tougher standard:

• versatility for multiple operations from teardown to cleanup
• maximum safety for operators and crews
• easy transportability between project locations
• high durability in extreme jobsite conditions

For that, an industry leader in material handlers has stepped beyond "purpose built" to deliver a line of machines specially equipped for the demands of the demolition industry.

Long Reach for Heavy-Duty Teardown

The flagship of SENNEBOGEN's demolition fleet is the 870 R-HDD. At 228,000 lb. (103,500 kg) with a 118-ft. (36.0 m) boom, this is one of the industry's largest material handlers.

The 870 gives operators the reach and lift capacity to bring down 10-story structures with remarkable precision. Interchangeable attachments include powerful shears, hammers, grapples, buckets and magnets to quickly dismantle buildings, sort the debris and load trucks with a single machine.

Operators of the 870 R-HDD work in safety and comfort with SENNEBOGEN's elevating Maxcab, which can tilt back up to 30 degrees to provide straight lines of sight with minimal fatigue when working at height.

Bulletproof glass is standard for the windows and skylight, complemented by dual safety cameras. Telescoping undercarriages hydraulically expand the 870's footprint from the compact travel position to a wide stance working platform for maximum stability.

Maximum Mobility Between Job Sites

The same package of demolition features is offered on the 830 R-HDD, a 96,780-lb. (43,900 kg) machine with 62 ft. 4 in. (19 m) of reach, designed for more congested job sites.

The smaller footprint of the 830 R-HDD means that, with its crawler tracks retracted for transport, the machine can simply drive onto a standard flatdeck trailer and quickly move on to the next job without waivers.

The 830 R-HDD also is one of three SENNEBOGEN models equipped to install the "Swiss-army knife" of demolition tools: the Vario Tool quick change system.

The Vario Tool turns the 830 R-HDD into the ultimate multifunction demolition machine, able to switch from a scrap shears to any standard lifting attachment in just two minutes. Operators can even complete the switch without leaving their cab, as all connections are made automatically by the tool's universal adapter.

Complete Uptime Solution

On large projects, R-HDD demolition models are often complemented by smaller SENNEBOGEN units purpose-built for sorting, picking, sweeping, feeding and loading assignments. Highly maneuverable, compact, efficient, with low operating costs, these utility machines also are built with the same robust engineering and that makes SENNEBOGEN the uptime leaders in the harshest environments.

HydroClean 3-micron oil filtration, automatic lubrication, natural flow-through cooling plus a high-capacity reversing fan are all standard equipment on every SENNEBOGEN machine: purpose-built to keep you on the job every day.
