Forestry and rail specialist snaps up new Sennebogen with Xwatch safety system

COOMBES, a provider of forestry and rail services, has snapped up a Sennebogen 728e timber handler, which is set to be boosted by the installation of Xwatch Safety Solutions’ advanced safety system.

The Sennebogen, which has been equipped with the 1650 VOSCH Equipment grapple saw, was supplied by Molson Group and joins a slightly smaller Sennebogen 718 in the COOMBES fleet. The 718 is said to have been a ‘reliable workhorse’ for the company’s projects, particularly in roadside tree works and rail vegetation management on third-party land.

Dan Leaney, sales and operations director at Xwatch, said, “Safety is not a choice; it is a necessity. At Xwatch, we are dedicated to providing cutting-edge safety solutions to industries like forestry and rail. We are proud to partner with COOMBES to install our Xwatch safety system on their new Sennebogen machine. With our advanced technology, we aim to enhance the safety measures and operational efficiency of their operations.”
