Hydraulic pulverisers ideal for secondary demolition

Atlas Copco claims the angled shape of its two new hydraulic bulk pulverisers, available for carriers of 18 to 35tonnes, make them ideal for secondary demolition of reinforced concrete. The broad jaw of the BP 2050, BP 2050 R, BP 3050 and BP 3050 R machines ease the feeding in of material on the ground which, Atlas Copco (AC) claim, speeds up work and enables cleaner separation of rebar and concrete prior to their reduction into grain sizes suitable for crushing or use as back ll.

An optional hydraulic rotation device will, according to AC, enable the new pulverisers to be used for e cient demolition of ceilings and walls.

    Tough competition is being seen in the specialised market for concrete slipforming machines, with new partnerships and new technology coming to market - Mike Woof writes GOMACO is boosting the versatility of its Commander slipformer further with the development of the new Three-Track Commander IIIx variant. This has been configured to cope with much tighter radii than previous versions of the Commander III, allowing it to slipform a radius of just 610mm. This suits the machine to applications such as sli

  • Skid steer loader - more versatile than a jack of all trades
    February 17, 2012
    The skid steer loader has for many years been known as a jack-of-all-trades. Indeed the term loader can be a bit misleading, as a skid steer is far more than simply a digging or lifting machine. Skid steers, and their more recent compact tracked loader stablemates, are the original powered tool carriers. They are designed to work with a host of attachments, not just a bucket or pallet forks. However while this concept of one base machine and a multitude of attachments has been a big success in North America
