In construction, few types of equipment work harder than demolition machines. They need immense power to tear down structures. Hydraulics give these machines the force to demolish buildings and remove debris quickly and easily. Here are some ways we see hydraulics at work in demolition:
Shears and Cutting Tools
It takes a lot of power to cut through steel and other metals. Hydraulic power allows industrial sheers to handle steel, rebar, cable, and other materials with no problem. You have quicker demolition and easier disposal.
Grapples
How do grapples lift and move heavy scrap? Hydraulic power. Hydraulics make it possible for grapples to pick up scrap metal and other heavy materials and move them from point A to point B. Grapples powered by hydraulics can lift thousands of pounds with ease, streamlining your scrap removal process.
Scrap Magnets
Scrap magnets provide another way to move heavy scrap metal, and many run on hydraulic generators. Magnets help sort scrap and relocate large amounts of metal. When you combine magnet strength with hydraulic power, crews can handle metal scrap and debris efficiently.
Articulated Trucks
Once you’re done demolishing, you need to remove that scrap and debris. Articulating trucks, dump trucks, and other machinery lift and haul away from your construction site so you can move forward with your project.
