Holmatro Concrete Crusher
Holmatro introduces mobile concrete crusher
For heavy-duty work in USAR operations
At Interschutz 2010 Holmatro Rescue Equipment introduced a mobile hydraulic concrete crusher for heavy-duty work during USAR operations. The CC 20 (C) quickly breaks up large and thick pieces of concrete from collapsed structures after an earthquake or explosion. For this purpose it combines a 230 mm opening with 7 tonnes squeezing force. This tool is a useful addition to other hydraulic equipment in a USAR rescue set.
Other special features
The crusher operates without vibrations which prevents the risk of a secondary collapse. As it hardly generates any dust, it also supports a clear view at the rescue scene.
Holmatro concrete crusher CC 20 C, equipped with single hose CORE™ Technology. Also available in dual hose version.
