Machines Used for Demolition

Demolition companies rely on a few machines to get the job done.  Here is a look at the major players you'll see on demolition sites.

The top one is the excavator because it is so versatile.  They can perform a wide variety of demolition including taking walls down, tearing beams out, uprooting trees, and hauling debris away.

Compact track loaders are powerful machines that have a lot of maneuverability.  CTL can dig, load, grade, and dump large loads quickly.  They can also move over many different types of terrain.

Feller bunchers are needed for trees and other large objects that can't be moved by other machines.

Like the CTL, skid loaders are versatile, small, and can get around the job-site quickly to perform tasks.  Skid loaders can be fitted with a bunch of attachments, making this machine a must have on any worksite.

Bulldozers are important machines to have when you need to move large amounts of material. They can be used for dozing, ripping, land clearing, grading, scraper work, and more.

Once the material is deconstructed, a material handler with a boom lift, front-end loader, or skid steer can be utilized to load the material onto a truck.

Tool attachments best used for removing material include thumbs, stump grinders, brooms, buckets, or for scrap metal tasks, magnets.
