history
The company was founded in 1952 by the then 21-year-old Erich Sennebogen (1931–2011) and began to design and manufacture agricultural machinery . The first mobile machine was the S 500, an early rope excavator , which was mainly used for loading manure on a farm and for well dredging . With a dead weight of 1 ton, it could lift 500 kg. The boom had a length of 5 m. It was powered by a 4 hp engine. The S 500 was produced from 1954 to 1959. The next larger model was the S 600, which was produced from 1957 to 1959. In contrast to the S 500 with steel wheels, the S 600 - depending on the variant - already had rubber tires. 1959 followed the establishment of the main plant in Straubing (Plant I). In 1991 a plant was added in Wackersdorf (Plant III). Since 1996 the company has been running its own manufacturing facility for welded and steel assemblies in Balatonfüred , Hungary . The company is also on site with its own subsidiaries in key regions:
At the beginning of 2008, the company expanded its locations to include a new and significantly larger plant in the Straubing-Sand industrial area (Plant II). In the summer of 2017, the expansion by 7000 m 2 of the production hall area , which began in September 2015, was completed.
Today Sennebogen is a global company and produces complete model series for material handlers, electric excavators , rope excavators , crawler cranes, telescopic cranes , telescopic loaders , harbor cranes and special carrier equipment .
Important milestones in the company's history are the development of the world's first fully hydraulic rope excavator in 1969 and the hydraulically adjustable articulated boom GAUH from 1984, which is still used in numerous wheeled excavators today. For the quietest excavator in the world, Erich Sennebogen was awarded the blue environmental angel by the Bavarian Environment Minister at bauma 1989 .
Today (as of 2015) the company is run in the second generation by the founder's sons, Erich and Walter Sennebogen.
Cooperations
From 1977 to 1987 Sennebogen worked together with the manufacturer Weserhütte as part of a sales cooperation in the area of rope excavators and cranes .
Since 1984 Sennebogen has been supplying ABI with carrier equipment for the construction of leader and vibratory pile drivers. Bauer AG has been using Sennebogen drilling rigs since the early 1990s .
As part of a joint venture between Sennebogen, Zeppelin , Caterpillar and Eder, around 20,000 mobile hydraulic excavators were manufactured at the Wackersdorf site between 1991 and 2005 in the European Excavator Design Center.
The manufacturer has been cooperating with Manitowoc Grove in the American market since 2015 to sell its telescopic crawler cranes.
