We’ve got your back. In fact, our dependability goes way beyond your initial purchase. 

We want you to learn everything there is to know about your SENNEBOGEN machine. That’s why we made our Operator Familiarization Training available to all of our customers—for free.

What Is the SENNEBOGEN Training Center?

Let’s face it. On-the-job training is great, but in a dealership, it can be quite distracting.

SENNEBOGEN has a dedicated training facility within driving distance of many dealers and customers. The space is fully equipped with instructors, classrooms, and demonstration areas in Stanley, N.C.

The main bay allows for hands-on access to full-size machines from three levels, including an elevated gallery. This means almost any SENNEBOGEN machine can be brought indoors, including an 870 M. 

 

 

SENNEBOGEN instructors are highly qualified specialists in material-handling equipment and applications. They combine practical field experience with years of instructional expertise, as well as the most current technical information.

Our meeting rooms and classrooms all have computer networking and projection technology required for interactive instruction methods. Trainees can focus on fixing technical issues with SENNEBOGEN equipment and prepare themselves for real-life situations and mishaps.

By the end of their uninterrupted training, SENNEBOGEN students have been fully immersed in their selected topic, know how to find answers to technical problems, and can make the necessary repairs in the field.

 

Who Is Eligible for SENNEBOGEN Training?

SENNEBOGEN training was originally set up for dealers so they would have the knowledge and ability to repair equipment for customers. Since then, we’ve extended access to customers and Authorized Service Providers – for free.

We know the more information a trainee has, the better decision they can make it when it comes to working on SENNEBOGEN equipment.

It's a big decision to invest in a SENNEBOGEN, and we want to make sure you're fully equipped to get the most out of your tree care handler.
