Telehandler in Heavy-Duty Waste Operations Saves Nearly 50% Fuel

Telehandler in Heavy-Duty Waste Operations Saves Nearly 50% Fuel

Straubing, Germany – September 2025 — Speed, precision, and efficiency are critical in modern waste disposal, where large volumes of material must be processed in short timeframes. During a recent trial at B.E.B. bewegt, a subsidiary of Berk Recycling GmbH, the SENNEBOGEN 360 G telehandler demonstrated its strength in heavy-duty applications, delivering impressive cycle times and nearly 50% fuel savings compared to a wheel loader.

Handling Diverse Waste Streams

At the facility, the 360 G was tasked with processing both mixed residual and bulky waste (30%) and coarse construction debris (70%). While residual and bulky waste was loaded directly onto trucks, construction debris was first conveyed to a screening plant before being transported as finer bulk material. The telehandler’s compact design and strong lifting capacity provided the necessary versatility for both tasks.

Benchmark Test: Telehandler vs. Wheel Loader

In a direct one-hour comparison, the SENNEBOGEN 360 G equipped with a 2 m³ bucket showcased significant advantages:

  • Average cycle time: 59 seconds
  • Material moved per hour: 116 m³
  • Fuel savings: ~58% less fuel consumed per m³ compared to a wheel loader

By contrast, the wheel loader required 1 minute 26 seconds per cycle and managed only 84 m³ of material in the same timeframe.

Designed for Efficiency and Safety

A standout feature of the 360 G is its elevating Multicab, which ensures optimum all-round visibility—particularly useful when feeding screening plants and loading trucks. Coupled with precise controls and a maneuverable design, the machine proves that heavy equipment can be both powerful and flexible in confined operating spaces.

“The 360 G sets new benchmarks in cycle efficiency and fuel economy. For operations where every second and every liter of fuel count, this telehandler offers clear competitive advantages,” said SENNEBOGEN representatives.

With its combination of speed, fuel efficiency, and handling precision, the SENNEBOGEN 360 G positions itself as a sustainable, high-performance solution for waste management and recycling applications.
