Making timber handling sustainable and efficient

The internationally operating wood processing company SIA Krauzers is optimizing material flow in its newly built sawmill with two SENNEBOGEN 730 E pick & carry machines. In addition to a standard 730 E for internal logistics, the company uses a second machine with a trailer, ideal for longer distances between the log yard and the sorting system.

Modern sawmill sets new standards in timber logistics

SIA Krauzers, based in Talsi, Latvia, has over 25 years of experience in forestry, log handling , and wood processing. With a clear export focus – 100% of its products are shipped to countries including the UK, USA, Canada, India, and the UAE – the company continuously invests in modern technology. Following the commissioning of a new sorting line in 2020, the next strategic step was taken in 2025: a modern sawmill with two log yards.

SIA Krauzers increases efficiency in the sawmill with SENNEBOGEN Pick & Carry

The impetus for investing in the SENNEBOGEN 730 E series arose after a delegation trip to German-speaking countries. During visits to several sawmills in Germany and Austria, the pick & carry concept was immediately convincing.

“The maneuverability, the flexible use and above all the stability when transporting large loads immediately appealed to us. With Pick & Carry, we can use our warehouse space much more efficiently ,” explains Andis Araks, Managing Director of SIA Krauzers.

TWO SENNEBOGEN 730 E – PERFECTLY SUITED TO DIFFERENT APPLICATIONS

At the first log yard, Krauzers uses a SENNEBOGEN 730 E without a trailer . The machine handles sorting, transferring , and feeding the system directly on site. The elevating cab offers optimal visibility and enables efficient work even in confined spaces.

For the second log yard, a SENNEBOGEN 730 E Pick & Carry machine with a specially sized trailer was chosen . This allows the team to handle even longer distances of 300 to 600 meters per trip particularly economically. The trailer transports more wood per cycle than a conventional wheel loader and simultaneously offers better traction, greater stability, and fewer cycles.

For these reasons, pick & carry increases efficiency in timber handling:

higher throughput	in the roundwood sector
reduce driving cycles	thanks to greater transport capacity
flexible, safe machine control	even in confined factory areas
optimal use of space	in storage, logistics and sorting areas

With this, SIA Krauzers is implementing a future-proof logistics solution for the sawmill. The combination of high efficiency, flexibility, and robust technology “Made in Germany” contributes significantly to the company’s sustainable and economic orientation.

Thanks to a 360-degree continuously rotating upper carriage, the 730 E can also drive forward out of narrow streets without complicated maneuvering.
