At Breakbulk Europe 2026 in Rotterdam, Sennebogen launched an advanced training simulator for its material handling machinery used in port applications. The simulator was developed jointly by the Sennebogen and Mevea teams. It includes genuine Sennebogen operator controls, an operator seat, and machine control hardware and software integrated with Mevea’s training and real-time simulation software.
Experiencing Machine Dynamics Through the Sennebogen Training Simulator
The training simulator enabled visitors to step into the operator’s seat of a Sennebogen 875G machine and experience its controls, operating environment, and machine response in real time.
This provided customers, partners, and potential customers with an opportunity to gain a better understanding of machine operation and performance through an interactive and realistic experience.
“For us, the simulator has been a great success. It gives customers an opportunity to experience the dynamics and behaviour of a large port machine in real time, and the feedback from customers has been very positive.”

According to Mr. Sennebogen, the simulator generated strong interest throughout Breakbulk Europe and provided a valuable platform for customer engagement. The positive response highlights the growing role of simulation technology in both operator training and customer engagement across the material handling industry.
While the simulator attracted significant attention at Breakbulk Europe, the discussion also explored the broader future of material handling machinery.
In the accompanying interview, Alexander Sennebogen shares his perspective on electrification, operator assistance systems, automation, workforce challenges, and the evolving role of simulation technology in the industry.
