Hydraulic crunching is an ideal method of demolition in areas that are difficult to access by robotic machines.

The concrete - which can be up to 350mm thick - is nibbled away by the manually operated machine to demolish the wall or slab in concrete chunks.

Highly effective, hydraulic crunching is quiet and vibration-free because the hydraulics cushion the machine’s movement and the system is run on a 415v electrical supply. Easy to manoeuvre and manhandle by the operator, hydraulic crunching is a productive and useful form of demolition as it often negates the need for handheld breakers and, by extension, the potential problems of Hand Arm Vibration (HAV).

Robotic demolition is an efficient, speedy, safe alternative to hand-held tools and can be used internally and externally, making it extremely versatile. These dynamic and powerful demolition machines can break down walls, brickwork, and slabs four times faster than their manual counterparts and they have been designed to negotiate stairs and be transported in lifts to where they are needed.

Smart and adaptable, the powerful hammer on the robot can be replaced by a variety of tools, including a crusher and bucket. Use of the crusher reduces noise and tremors and because the robots run off three-phase electrics there are no fumes to contend with.

As for safety, the robots can be operated from some distance via a remote control so there is no danger to the operator from falling debris and building fragments.

Diamenttek operators are skilled in the use of hydraulic crunching machines and demolition robots and we can advise on the best use of such equipment on your demolition job.
