When designing the tree care handler, special attention was paid to safety and operator comfort in daily operation. In the latest version of the Maxcab, in addition to the outstanding all-round visibility from the cab, which can be raised by 8.8 ft. and tilted by 30 degrees, the operator also can look forward to particularly ergonomic controls and a comfort seat.

Like all SENNEBOGEN tree care handlers, the 728 E comes with a separate, generously dimensioned auxiliary hydraulic system for independent operation of the attachments as standard.
