Hydraulic Bursting and Crunching

Hydraulic crunching rigs use a combination of steel rams to apply extremely high but localised compressive stresses to break up concrete.

Concrete crunching uses hydraulic rams to apply compressive forces to crush concrete sections.

Crunching equipment can be handheld, or more usually machine mounted. Operation is free of vibration and silent, and offers a cost effective way to remove concrete slabs, columns, beams or walls in noise, dust and vibration sensitive areas.

Concrete crunching heads mounted on conventional or remote controlled tracked carriers with hydraulic booms increase capacity and productivity, whilst significantly reducing risk to operators.

See more information on our robotic tracked carriers on our Controlled Demolition pages.

TECHNICAL DATA

Hydraulic crunching equipment can be mounted on small, lightweight Brokk 90 remote controlled robot carrier, or on 360º excavator for larger requirements.

Remote control possible for use in hazardous environment.

Brokk 90 light and compact - ideal for restricted access situations.
