Demolition machines are built to demolish, in an orderly and efficient manner, residential, industrial, and commercial buildings within the construction industry. In general, demolition machines are classified as high-reach excavators, skid steer loaders (with attachments for demolition), compact demolition robots or demolition excavators. Demolition machines allow operators to apply substantial force when removing structural elements while having the ability to control the amount and speed of that force.
Most demolition machines feature a unique quick-change coupling system that allows the operator to switch out breakers, crushers, shears and buckets throughout the process of breaking down the structure. As a result, demolition machines are used extensively by urban renewal and infrastructure renewal communities as well as for industrial deconstruction and for recycling. Therefore, demolition machines have become essential for modern demolition operations as they offer the combination of power, precision and safety.
