EDITOR

Welcome to the very first edition in the Demolition Hub SPECIALS series, with this issue focusing solely on attachments.

Quite frankly this has been a rather fun side hustle, allowing us to work on something a little bit different and although for a variety of reasons the first Demolition Hub Magazine SPECIAL has had to be delayed a couple of times, the importance of this very edition coming together has been made absolutely clear to us and certainly to those that supply attachments to the demolition industry.

This is the first in a series of Demolition Hub SPECIALS and although we had earmarked other sectors to do a SPECIAL on, the interest in attachments was evident and we can now notify you that we will be doing ATTACHMENTS once again in November this year. So if you like what you see here, as an OEM or a dealer offering attachments to the UK, Europe or globally and haven’t participated this time, but want to for the next, then please do get in touch.

Over the years I have learned a lot about these specialised tools, at any trade show a product specialist will explain to the capabilities, whilst on-site the operatives will explain their methodologies and why what they have put into use for the controlled dismantling and destruction of structure is there.

There isn’t a small nor large global construction event that I have attended in the past five years where I haven’t learned of an as yet undiscovered attachment being on show or been taken aback by an unfamiliar colour piquing my interest into exactly who they are and what they are offering. The world of attachments is huge and with the everincreasing technologies are getting better and better and in the case of what I witnessed in Texas, bigger and bigger.

We hope that our regular circulation of Demolition Hub readers, who will also now receive each and every SPECIAL just like this one, enjoy looking through this as much as we have enjoyed liaising with the brands and engaging with those that supply these essential attachments for a variety of your jobs and that you can now begin to use this yearly guide when it comes to deciding on what is fit for your purchases.

We will be adding to this now bi-annual Demolition Hub Attachments SPECIAL with other sectors in 2025, so this is merely the start of something SPECIAL.

Inmalo meets BooBoo Plant Hire Inmalo Director Charles Polak recently visited Harry Allen, the MD of Booboo Plant Hire based near Kings Langley, Hertfordshire. Harry is a demolition man first and foremost, so when it comes to specialist demolition plant hire, he knows what works best for his clients.

Inmalo have been supplying Booboo with attachments and dust suppression for over 10 years and as we sit in Harry’s office overlooking a lake, the chat starts and Harry asks “How’s business then?”

Of course, the honest answer that we all know is that it’s tough to win new business right now but keeping existing customers happy is just as important.

We both agree that price seems to be more important than ever, however we’re sitting in the office of a man who knows a thing or two about both sides of demolition contracting and the plant hire business.

Q Q

Q

Harry, considering you run both demolition and plant hire operations, what drives you when buying new kit?

People often focus on cost; we steer clear of cheap equipment. Longterm issues arise with low-quality kit.

It’s essential to prioritise reliability and efficiency to avoid additional costs in downtime, spares, and repairs. It saves you money in the long run!

Booboo Plant Hire emerged as an extension of your demolition work. Could you tell us a bit more about how that started?

As the demolition side expanded, I began buying my own plant. I soon realised that I had so much specialist demo kit standing around, I saw an opportunity to offer it for hire. The demand for machines with operators led us to diversify into plant hire.

Q

When selecting attachments, what’s your primary consideration?

We prioritise reliable and powerful attachments that get the job done without complications. We use you because you supply quality gear and look after us.

You recently traded in your large shear for an Eagle III model. What motivated the upgrade?

The Eagle III is a step up in design, it’s more robust, quicker and powerful compared to others in its class. I needed more productivity to keep my customers happy and earn more on a job.

Q

Overall, how would you describe your experience with Inmalo’s products and service?

We really do prioritise and invest in good equipment and Inmalo consistently meets our needs. Your commitment to provide immediate support sets you apart.

Q

So, backup and support plays a crucial role then?

Absolutely, and Inmalo handles it brilliantly. It’s not just about the equipment; reliable backup and support keeps us and our customers happy!

Q

Running a demolition company and a Plant Hire business is quite diverse. How did you originally get into the demolition game?

I started by skipping school to work on sites removing roofing. It was a risky but exciting time, they were fun days. I fell into the demolition industry, working for various firms before branching out on my own, initially hiring equipment as needed.

Wessex Demolition case study Client:

Wessex Demolition Ltd

Project:

Redundant oil tank storage dismantling – Oil Spill International

Client since:

2007

Industry:

Demolition and waste removal

Products and services: Demolition attachments and dust suppression

Background: In the summer of 2023, we supplied Wessex Demolition & Salvage with an MBI SH130 Scrap Shear for a project for their client Oil Spill Response in Southampton. This work showcased the efficiency and reliability of Inmalo attachments in this challenging demolition environment. The project aimed to dismantle redundant oil tanks using cutting-edge equipment, with a particular focus on the MBI SH130 Shear.

Equipment in action: Upon arrival at the project site, it was evident that Wessex relied 8 | DemolitionHUB Magazine Specials

on a diverse range of Inmalo attachments. The newly delivered MBI SH130 Shear took centre stage, demonstrating its prowess in cutting through the thick steel obsolete oil tanks. Additionally, the Montabert V2500 Breaker and MBI RP10 Pulveriser were observed in action, seamlessly integrated with Volvo EC300 and Kobelco SK140SR excavators, respectively in removal of the concrete plinths.

Performance highlights: Both the V2500 Breaker and RP10 Pulveriser exhibited commendable performance on the reinforced concrete base structures that once supported the oil tanks. Notably, attention was drawn to the MBI RP10, renowned for its powerful and effective crushing capabilities on materials fragmented by the V2500 Breaker within the rebar reinforced structure.

Remarkably, the MBI RP10 showcased exceptional durability, still operating with its original set of jaws despite its older model status.

Daryl Grant, Wessex’s Plant Manager, emphasised the significance of Inmalo’s attachment range, stating: “Inmalo’s attachments have proven to be the most reliable and powerful in our fleet. Their unwavering reliability and robust support have been instrumental in our sustained investment in these high-quality brands. The performance and reliability, exemplified by the new Eagle II SH130 Shear, reaffirm our trust in Inmalo to continue meeting our evolving attachment needs.”

Conclusion: The Wessex Demolition & Salvage Oil Spill Response project stands as a testament to the seamless integration and superior performance of Inmalo attachments.

As industry demands evolve, Wessex’s continued partnership with Inmalo reflects their confidence in the products’ reliability, durability, and innovation, ultimately contributing to the success of the complex projects undertaken by Wessex Demolition & Salvage.

MB CRUSHER

MB CRUSHER: Attachments that improve your tomorrow As the demands of crushing and recycling continue to shape jobs in demolition, the necessity to optimise resources has become paramount – an MB Crusher attachment is the improvement you need.

12 | DemolitionHUB Magazine Specials

DemolitionHub.com

MB CRUSHER As Winston Churchill said, “To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often.” This sentiment rings especially true for the demolition industry today.

Gone are the days of simply disposing of waste materials; now, companies are seeking innovative ways to recycle efficiently and cost-effectively at every stage of the process. To facilitate every single operative step, demolition companies need to constantly upgrade and transform.

Maximise digger and loader efficiency with MB Crusher attachments What do all demolition, construction and groundwork companies have in common? The usage of heavy equipment.

It is a wide industry all connected by the use of machinery that digs, loads and moves. So it only makes sense that the journey toward improvement begins with these machines. By adding an attachment, a carrier machine can be transformed into something extraordinary.

Attachment-equipped machinery can perform a myriad of tasks, eliminating the need for multiple machines for different jobs. From digging and moving materials to crushing, screening, grinding or even extending the operator’s capabilities to lift heavy weights with precision, these attachments make complex processes simpler.

Substituting complex processes with a single-step operation In the quest for increasing efficiency, the demolition company should turn to MB Crusher attachments.

While standalone machines may offer similar capabilities, they still require heavy equipment for loading, thus not optimising personnel or resources. MB Crusher attachments lead to space efficiency, enhanced productivity and cost-effectiveness.

Designed to be compact, an MB Crusher attachment will fit any brand DemolitionHub.com

of heavy equipment including mini excavators, loaders or skids; using attachment-equipped machinery saves space on construction sites since fewer machines are needed.

In urban areas optimising the use of available space is essential, and in remote or hard-to-reach areas, avoiding moving the material in and out of the site will enhance productivity.

MB Crusher attachments streamline demolition processes, enabling operators to switch between tasks quickly without the need to change machines. This leads to increased efficiency and productivity on the job site.

Environmental impact and safety: hot topics MB Crusher’s attachments don’t just improve efficiency; they also address critical concerns like waste management, environmental impact and workplace safety. By using attachment-equipped machinery, companies reduce fuel consumption

and emissions, contributing to a greener, more sustainable demolition process.

The necessity to optimise available resources has become paramount. By enabling material recycling directly on the job site, MB attachments foster a circular economy model, reducing transportation costs, minimising pollution and promoting sustainable practices in demolition and construction.

The versatility and efficiency of MB Crusher’s attachments have elevated production levels to unprecedented heights, allowing materials to be crushed directly on-site, and eliminating the need for intermediate handling.

Operators can perform demolition tasks from within the cab, reducing their exposure to hazardous materials and risky working conditions. Additionally, using fewer machines can help minimise the risk of accidents on the job site.

DemolitionHUB Magazine Specials | 13

MB CRUSHER The full line MB Crusher has developed a range of products that revolutionise the management of recycling cycles on site, streamlining the processes of crushing, screening and handling aggregates to save both time and money for companies.

The five lines of MB Crusher attachments are suitable for any brand of excavator, loader or skid steer. The iconic jaw crusher bucket lines offer regular output grading by regulating the jaw’s opening. At the first reduction a high-value product is made and one of the most notable features is their ability to recover valuable materials like railway sleepers and reinforced concrete swiftly and efficiently.

By simplifying complex processes into single-step operations, MB Crusher attachments not only enhance productivity but also create new revenue streams for companies.

With integrated iron separators, materials can be processed on site with unparalleled speed and simplicity.

The Screening Bucket, with interchangeable grids easily exchangeable as bolted-on panel sections, can be used in pre or post-crushing as well as where

14 | DemolitionHUB Magazine Specials

size separation is needed, giving a good quality product. The Padding Buckets and their interchangeable shafts are a time saver as various types of material can be processed, with four grades of separating and soft material reduction. The Drum Cutters are designed to avoid vibrations, provide precision and low maintenance plus the possibility to have more than one drum set per machine. Last but not least, MB’s Sorting Grapples are equipped with five types of blades, which can be easily replaced on the job site to safely handle any shape and type of material and precision operations.

The weight distribution in all of the machines has been further enhanced to further improve stability and minimise vibration on the primary equipment.

As industries strive to embrace circular economy principles and minimise their environmental footprint, MB Crusher stands at the forefront, offering a comprehensive lineup of attachments tailored to diverse needs and operations.

Whether it’s jaw crushers, screening buckets, padding buckets, drum cutters or sorting grapples, MB’s solutions empower companies to reclaim waste materials, produce high-quality secondary raw materials and contribute to a sustainable future, empowering operators to adapt to varying project requirements seamlessly. With MB attachments companies can significantly reduce costs, mitigate workplace hazards and capitalise on the materials already at their disposal.

MB Crusher’s commitment to innovation, efficiency and sustainability resonates with the evolving needs of the demolition and construction industries. By leveraging the transformative power of machinery attachments, companies can optimise their operations, maximise resource utilisation and embark on a path towards a greener, more profitable future.

BMC

Bucket Manufacturing Company: Taking pride in the job The Bucket Manufacturing Company is a privately owned British SME and this year will be celebrating its 21st anniversary

Under Wayne Ridings, who took over in 2012, the Bucket Manufacturing Company (BMC) made a strategic move away from supplying the cheaper type of product into producing higher quality products equivalent to or an improvement on the more established manufacturers.

Providing bespoke buckets in a busy market.

BMC started producing more bespoke attachments to complement our standard buckets,

20 | DemolitionHUB Magazine Specials

establishing a foothold in the market.

The tidal wave of cheaply produced products from overseas is phenomenal and UK markets keep buying it. We could produce the equivalent for a very similar price, but the market will not pay the little extra.

At present, bespoke design has become very important to the survival of heavy engineering in the UK and we are eager to accommodate a customer looking for the odd or unusual attachment they have in mind.

Our philosophy is about customer satisfaction and supplying them with a quality product while still providing value for money, priding ourselves on exceeding customer expectations whenever possible.

To help us achieve our goals, we have experienced staff to assess what the customer needs and in the case of experienced customers, we give them confidence in our ability to supply what they need.

If we give the customer a positive experience with the initial enquiry and eventual

purchase, it helps to maintain the manufacturing skill base in the local area.

BMC have taken lads through apprenticeships, helping to maintain a skilled workforce within this country but find that the willing lads supply chain is continuing to get smaller all the time.

Training the next generation of skilled manufacturers in the UK Wayne started his career as a lad at Geith International and worked his way up to workshop manager at DemolitionHub.com

BMC their Tredegar site in South Wales and stayed with them for 30 years until they moved their manufacturing from both Slane Ireland and Tredegar in South Wales to abroad.

We believe there needs to be more information about work opportunities and apprenticeships given to both young school leavers and manufacturing companies.

Higher education is not for everyone, yet schools assume that all want to go to universities.

The world may be getting smaller but BMC’s market is only getting bigger We manufacture most of our products in Chepstow, supporting local suppliers where possible. This is vital to both consistent quality and creating a wealthier locality and could be replicated across the

country to national benefit.

There are some big, exciting changes happening in the excavation market at present and it helps our cause here at BMC. These tilt-and-turn couplers have been a revelation since being introduced a couple of years ago and become a common tool on most building sites.

Producing attachments for these has been a pleasure because we’re now making buckets for the Scandinavians, which is a privilege given their high standards for equipment.

The world is getting smaller now and our clientele are from all over the world buying a single bespoke product. We have sent Manual Quick Couplers to the US, buckets to

Poland and our flagship four-in-one buckets go everywhere so, we must be doing something right and are proud of it.

Robustrack MB Crusher MB-HDS range of shaft screening buckets

In the realm of construction and excavation, efficiency is paramount.

The MB Crusher MB-HDS range of shaft screening buckets, supplied by Robustrack, stands out as a gamechanger, tailored for excavators weighing between 2 to 40 tonnes.

Crafted with precision and innovation, this cutting-edge tool is designed to revolutionise material

34 | DemolitionHUB Magazine Specials

processing on-site.

At the heart of its design lies a strategic shape that facilitates the seamless movement of material towards its rotating shafts, ensuring unparalleled productivity. Positioned cleverly at the centre of the machine, the coupler’s connection sits lower than the rest of the structure, alleviating stress on the

frame and enhancing manoeuvrability and precision during material processing.

Protection is paramount and the MB-HDS range excels in safeguarding its integral components. Encased within fixed covers, the gears remain shielded from abrasive materials such as sand and dirt, prolonging their lifespan and ensuring uninterrupted operation. Furthermore, welded covers behind the machine fortify bolts and side casings, providing an extra layer of defence against wear and tear.

Maintenance is made effortless with on-site servicing capabilities. Equipped with a shaft holder, operators can seamlessly replace shafts without the need for costly downtime. Optional extras, including the RQ8-50 Sifting Kits for soil sifting and aeration, the RM Mixer Kit for versatile material processing, the RE8/RE16 Fine Sifting Kits for precision screening, and the RC Compost Kit for organic waste shredding, further enhance the bucket’s adaptability to diverse job requirements.

By repurposing materials on-site, the MB-HDS screening bucket range eliminates the need for wasteful removal and external processing, simplifying operations while reducing costs and environmental impact. A must-have addition to every operator’s arsenal, this versatile attachment promises unmatched efficiency and productivity.

Backed by a 24-month warranty, this screening bucket exemplifies reliability and performance, setting a new standard in on-site material processing.

Rotar Introducing the neXt chapter – the X-series of RSS mobile scrap shears

36 | DemolitionHUB Magazine Specials

Rotar, whose head office is in Holland, is an award-winning manufacturer of premium attachments for the demolition, recycling and scrap industries. Types of attachments available include shears, pulverisers, processors, grabs, concrete cutters, screening and segregator buckets.

X, representing X-treme, introduces several new models to the RSS range, responding to demand from both the demolition

and scrap processing industries.

The X-series is designed to withstand high operating pressures of up to 380 bar. The shear design has evolved to give more body strength, coupled with a new pivot group design that improves jaw alignment. This improvement enables the shear to handle higher cutting forces. Additionally, the nose blades incorporate a unique design, to keep them firmly in position during operation. These innovative

DemolitionHub.com

design features mean that the Rotar X-series of shears performs above and beyond any others available on the market today.

RSS 10 X is a brand-new addition to the RSS series. It is suitable for boom mounted excavators of 9 to 13 tonnes and stick mounted excavators of 12 to 19 tonnes.

RSS 20 X is a redesigned version of the successful RSS 20, featuring a brand-new nose design and incorporating all the innovative features of the new X-series. It is suitable for boom mounted excavators of 13 to 23 tonnes and stick mounted ones of 20 to 32 tonnes.

The whole X-series journey began with the RSS 100 X model. In addition to all the above features, we have incorporated a larger cylinder, transforming the shear into a formidable force. The rotation drive is reinforced and equipped with double gearboxes and motors for enhanced positioning. Combined with a favourable centre of gravity, this configuration prevents the shear from drifting during rotation.

With a tool weight of 10 tonnes, we are confident we have introduced the strongest shear to the market.

It is suitable for boom mounting on a 50-tonne excavator and stick mounting on one of 75 tonnes or higher.

In response to widespread market demand, we have expanded our shear range with the introduction of the RSS 150 X. With an operational weight of nearly 20 tonnes and featuring formidable cutting forces of 425 tonnes at the shear’s tip and over 2,100 tonnes in the throat, this specialised equipment is engineered for the decommissioning of power plants, steel mills, ocean vessels and oil rigs.

The RSS X-Series range adds to the existing RSS models on the market giving customers the choice of eight models to suit the size of their machines.

DemolitionHub.com

Rotar has been at the forefront of the demolition, recycling and scrap metal industries since the 1970s and is continually introducing innovations onto the market in response to customer demands.

Louis Broekhuizen, Commercial Director said: “I’m extremely proud of the entire Rotar team, who work

hard to bring innovative pieces of equipment to the marketplace. I strongly believe that there is always room for improvement and at Rotar we continually monitor new technologies and react to customer demands in order to create market leading equipment for the demolition industry.”

Trevi Benne FR Series rotating pulveriser

38 | DemolitionHUB Magazine Specials

DemolitionHub.com

Trevi Benne is a world-leading company in demolition, recycling, earthmoving and mining. In just over 30 years Trevi Benne has achieved the goal of a worldwide distribution operating in 45 different countries with a professional dealer network, with more than 100 exclusive distributors and a steady increasing rate in turnover and employed personnel. The products and the manufacturing system are well known and recognised in the construction yards and in the most relevant international exhibitions.

Trevi Benne is a company with a TÜVcertified Quality and Safety at Work system and is an active sponsor of the major Italian, European and USA Demolition Associations.

The absolute news of this period has been the restyling of the iconic rotating pulveriser FR Series, the most sold model of demolition pulverisers by the Italian company.

The structural characteristics of this FR Series pulveriser allow the operator to tackle the primary and

secondary demolition phases with a single piece of equipment. It is precise and fast like a crusher thanks to the continuous hydraulic rotation, powerful and productive thanks to the typical jaws of a pulveriser.

Working in the city, in historic centres or in environments where, however, the manoeuvring radius is limited, involves or obliges the use of a single excavator and in this case the FR Series proves to be the perfect equipment.

The FR Series consists of twelve models: from the smallest of 550 kg (FR 05) to the majestic FR 250 weighing 24,500 kg. First in 2020 and subsequently again this year, the Series was renewed in shape and design and was technologically perfected in the four model from 1,000 to 2,500 kg. The latest efforts have been aimed at increasing the longevity of the equipment by specifically taking care of aspects and components most stressed by the strain of demolition.

These are the technical and

structural features that make it more aggressive, more performing and more resistant to the stress of a demolition: • Standard rotation with two motors in the FR 10, FR 13, FR 18 and FR 23 models, • Increased size of the fulcrum pins and cylinder diameters, • Creation of helical grooves in all pins for better distribution of lubricant, • The speed multiplier valve has been redesigned with a double oil channel to reduce the pressure drop and a specific system to avoid the unscrewing of the cartridge.

The pulveriser FR 23 model, weighing about 2,500 kg making it perfect for 25 to 30-tonne excavators, will be on display at the next INTERMAT Trade Show, the International Exhibition of Construction Equipment and Materials, held in Paris from 24 to 27 April 2024. Trevi Benne can’t wait to welcome you in Hall 6, Stand D059.
