- Sennebogen showcased a semi‑autonomous material handling system at the IFAT 2026 equipment show in Munich, pairing an electric wheeled excavator, a mobile shredder and a mobile battery.
- Sennebogen’s system lets the shredder communicate directly with the excavator and operators, automatically adjusting material feed to keep the line stable and boost throughput.
- Sennebogen’s 826 G Electro battery BESS can power the setup for up to seven continuous hours off‑grid and switches to grid power during peak loads to cut costs.
- Sennebogen’s electric handlers, on the market for three years, provide emission‑free operation that aligns with rising diesel prices and tighter global emissions regulations.
Why it matters: Recycling plants gain up to seven hours of off‑grid power, lower wear and higher throughput, while diesel‑powered handler makers lose market share as Sennebogen’s electric, autonomous system cuts fuel costs and emissions.
