We ask Johan about his experiences with the crane. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>How long have you been an operator?<br\/><\/strong><\/em>I have been doing this work for 36 years now. After leaving the service, I started working as an operator. I have 33 years of experience as an operator and have also worked with cranes from another German brand. I have been on a Sennebogen crane since 2020.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>That must have taken some getting used to. How do you like it? <br\/><\/strong><\/em>I was skeptical at first and didn&#8217;t have much confidence in it. But that soon changed. The crane is flexible and has a large lifting capacity. The cabin is solid and comfortable. There are no unnecessary buttons and it is just very complete.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>You have been working as an operator for a long time and are still very enthusiastic. Is that because of the crane? <br\/><\/strong><\/em>I am proud to work with this crane. The crane certainly makes my work very enjoyable. And that is also important because I spend more time in the cabin than in my living room.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Are there any downsides?<br\/><\/strong><\/em>If I have to mention something, it is the camera. There is a camera on the ballast that was already broken after 3 months. This has been resolved properly.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Why was this specific machine chosen?<br\/><\/strong><\/em>Because this machine can get close to a tall building, this is important for Samonco. You really get a lot of lifting capacity with this machine. I also understand that this machine was very competitive in terms of price.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>How does the crane perform?<br\/><\/strong><\/em>In 1 word: great! I am very satisfied with it. This crane with jib is up to 30 to 40% stronger than other comparable cranes with jib. On this construction site, the crane is not working at full capacity because the prefabricated panels weigh 2.5 tons to 9 tons and the crane has much more capacity. But sometimes you have these projects and you also don&#8217;t want the crane to stand still.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Do you have anything else to say about the crane as a closing statement?<\/strong><br\/><\/em>If I can give a score from 1 to 10, I give the crane a 9.5. That half point is because of the camera. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Would you like more information about this Sennebogen crane?
