Scrap handling at Korea's oldest steelmaker

In October 2023, a SENNEBOGEN 835 was put into operation at their headquarters in Incheon.

Taking charge of transporting scrap metal across the yard, this material handler is on the job 12 hours a day, 4 cycles a day, 7 days a week, operated by a dedicated team of 12 professional operators.

With a 9.1 m boom and 15.2 m reach, the SENNEBOGEN 835 provides the extended working range needed to move heavy iron scrap across wide yards quickly and efficiently. Equipped with a 5-shell orange peel grab for precision material sorting, and a magnet attachment for fast handling of ferrous materials, it handles a variety of scrap with ease.

Powerful hydraulics and responsive controls give operators the precision required to safely load, unload, and transport large volumes of material in a tight, high-output environment. Whether transferring scrap between trucks and storage piles or feeding processing lines, the 835 delivers dependable performance.

The SENNEBOGEN 835 was delivered by SENNEBOGEN’s dealer and service partner, KILWOO Co. Ltd. 

This is Hyundai Steel’s second 835 material handler, following their first unit introduced at the Pohang facility in 2020. The machine’s reliability, efficiency and easy maintenance proved a hit with operations over there.

Thus, when it came to expanding their fleet at their Incheon facility – it was a no-brainer.

“The company received good feedback about the machine from the operators at the Pohang branch,” says YH Cho, Sales Manager at KILWOO. “Seeing it work efficiently the past few years over there convinced the company to invest in 2 more units for their Incheon facility.”

By adding more 835s to their fleet, Hyundai Steel is sticking with a machine they know works well. Its low operating costs, minimal maintenance needs, and easy access to spare parts make it a practical choice for their high-demand operations.
