"We’ve been using the new breaker and grapple to demolish a waste water treatment plant and then remove the waste from the site. I’ve been particularly impressed with the MG 1500 R – the rotation unit on the grab makes it so much faster and more flexible than our old grab"
The MG 1500 R, complete with rotation unit, is dexterous and flexible
The team have used the MB 1650 hammer to break up the water tanks, moving the large pieces of debris to an area of the site where they can be broken down quickly and easily using the company’s Epiroc SB breakers, before removing it from the site for recycling. Ivan said “The MG 1500 is so easy to handle that we can sort hardcore from other materials as we dismantle the building.”.
Epiroc Regional Sales Manager Donal Cunningham said “Thanks to their particularly robust design, our versatile MG excavator grapples are perfect for demolishing light structures as well as sorting and loading demolished material. Like the grab, our SB and MB hydraulic breakers combine efficiency and performance with high durability.”
The team of experts at WAC McCandless have years of industry knowledge; specifically across demolition, utilities, groundwork, remediation, quarrying and civil engineering. Michael Quinn, Area Sales Manager from WAC McCandless has been on hand throughout the process, from selecting the right equipment for the job, through to commissioning and after sales service.
Working in partnership, the MG 1500 grab and SB 302 breaker make short work of reducing the debris.
