Sennebogen has reported that seven 870 mobile materials handlers are now in operation for pipe handling at Mülheim Pipecoatings, which is one of
the concrete coating contractors for the Nord Stream 2 pipeline project, following the recent delivery of two 870 E machines.
The cranes are equipped with a 261 kW diesel engine and Sennebogen’s proven Green Hybrid energy recovery system. With a maximum range of 20m, they can handle and stack pipes up to 15t in weight and 18m in length.
Each pipe can be worth up to €20,000, so drivers need to be fully focused. The pipes are carefully lifted from the truck using a hanging spreader or vacuum traverse, inspected again, and then finally loaded onto wagons for further transport.
