The Gebrüder Haider GmbH building company, which is internationally-active and was founded in 1956, has its headquarters in Großraming/Upper Austria and has been majority owner of Martin Atzlinger GmbH since 2003. Nowadays the Haider Group has more than 50 subsidiary companies and employs more than 2500 staff.

One of the 50 subsidiary companies is Atzlinger GmbH, which has been focussing on biomasses/biomass production since 2005. Further special services provided by this company are recovery and towing services, road cleaning, winterservices (motorway) crane services, clearance and logging work. 25 staff are employed at the headquarters in Ardning. Martin Atzlinger GmbH has been relying on JENZ machines right from the beginning. “JENZ is well known for its high quality and high performance throughout the sector” stated general manager Hubert Haider and divisional manager Martin Atzlinger, who mainly supply combined heat and power plants and larger companies with wood chippings.The machinery fleet now includes four JENZ machines, three chippers and one shredder. The mobile AZ 660 D biomass processor in the HGV long version (490 hp) is specially used for the processing of branch material and rootstocks into industrial chippings. The HEM 561 DL mobile chipper (456 hp) is fitted to a three-axle HGV and was designed for chipping whole trees up to 600 diameter “at very high performance”,as the company management reported. This third machine is the HEM 700 DL (653 hp) mobile chipper which processes large tree trunks and wood bundles.“A hydraulic splitter has been fitted to the machine rear so that we can process oversized timber. Since the chipper is fitted on a four-axle HGV, we are extremely mobile and can be on site very quickly” explained the management.

One of the reasons for buying the new chipper truck was the flexible application fields which the HEM 593 R-Truck offers. “Thanks to this machine we were much more versatile on our narrow forest roads where only very small branchor wood piles are available for processing and where the machine can still achieve economic performances.”

At first the HEM 593 R-Truck was exhibited at a trade fair in the Czech Republic. After this the JENZ machine was transported to Martin Atzlinger GmbH's headquarters in Ardning, the staff was trained and the machine was put into operation. The experienced worker who drives and operates the chipper truck was immediately convinced by the machine and is extremely impressed by the operability, flexibility and performance.“Thanks to our huge storehouse and stock areas we can supply heating plants, larger companies and even private households over the whole year.”
