Powering the Future: Our Sennebogen 835E in Action at Barry Docks

At West Buckland Plant, we don’t just supply machinery – we supply the muscle behind some of the UK’s most vital industries. Our 2025 Sennebogen 835E Material Handler is already proving its worth, taking on ship loading operations at Barry Docks.

This time, the task was loading wood chip for export – a critical link in the renewable energy supply chain. Once on board, this cargo will make its way to a biomass power station, where it will be transformed into energy capable of powering thousands of homes and businesses across the country.

Why the Sennebogen 835E?

The Sennebogen 835E is designed specifically for bulk handling, port operations, and demanding environments. With its long reach, precise hydraulic control, and impressive lift capacity, it’s the perfect choice for efficient ship loading. At Barry Docks, the machine is working exactly where it belongs – at the heart of a high-volume, time-critical project.

Supporting Renewable Energy

Biomass power generation is an important part of the UK’s renewable energy mix. By turning wood chip into electricity, biomass plants reduce reliance on fossil fuels and contribute towards a greener, more sustainable energy system. We’re proud that our equipment is playing a direct role in keeping this process moving.

Reliability in Every Operation

When industries depend on timing and efficiency, downtime is not an option. That’s why West Buckland Plant continues to invest in state-of-the-art machinery like the Sennebogen 835E. From ports to construction sites, we make sure our clients have the right equipment to get the job done safely and efficiently.
