Sennebogen to Unveil the MG4.1, Their New Five Shell Orange Peel Grab at IFAT 2026 in Munich next week.

SENNEBOGEN will unveil its new series of five-shell orange peel grabs, the MG4.1, at IFAT 2026 in Munich next week.

With capacities ranging from 600 to 1,200 liters it is designed specifically for scrap handling, this series expands the manufacturer’s portfolio in the recycling sector. With over 30 years of experience in material handling, SENNEBOGEN once again delivers a solution in which the machine and attachment are perfectly matched — for maximum performance, high availability, and efficient operation, all from a single manufacturer.

The orange peel grab, first presented at IFAT, is an innovative, new development from SENNEBOGEN that draws on the company’s decades of experience in recycling and scrap handling. Initially, the five-shell orange peel grab will be offered in four different sizes, ranging from 600 to 1,200 liters, and with a variety of shell configurations, from semi-open to fully closed. Custom designs are also available upon request. The choice of shell design is determined by the material being handled. The smaller the particles, the more closed the shell design is recommended.

Developed and built in Straubing, Germany, the manufacturer’s headquarters, the grab reflects SENNEBOGEN’s proven quality. This is already evident in its robust construction: The center crossbeam is made of high-strength cast steel, the grab shells are manufactured from extremely robust Hardox steel, and the pivot points are generously dimensioned, featuring high-strength bolts and bushings. The welded grab tips are extremely durable, as they too are made of high-strength forged steel and have a very high wear resistance, ensuring they last longer than average. A wear indicator also clearly shows when the tips need to be replaced. Careful consideration was also given to the attachment of the grab shells to the center crossbeam, as this leaves sufficient space at the shell pivot point for small materials to fall through. This cleverly prevents unwanted accumulation of material on the grab.

The grab can be equipped with one or two powerful rotary drives, depending on whether higher speed or greater torque is required. A sturdy sheet-metal cover protects them from external influences. SENNEBOGEN also uses high-performance cylinders manufactured in-house, which are well-protected behind rod guards that are easy to remove for servicing.
