These concrete crushers are designed to effectively handle any primary and/or secondary demolition and recycling operation.

• Models for use with excavators in the 21 - 50 ton range.
• Abrasion-resistant, high-strength,alloy steel teeth decreases wear and increases durability.
• Optional 360 degree power rotation for maximum versatility.
• Exclusive hydraulic intensifier system provides faster cycle times compared with units using larger cylinders.
• Bolt-on replaceable tooth plate on the movable jaw.
• "A" models also utilize bolt-on tooth plate on the fixed jaw.

LaBounty's Multi-Jaw Demolition Tool (MRX) is designed for efficient downsizing and is equipped with 360-degree rotation for both primary and secondary demolition and offsite concrete processing.

• Short centre of gravity for optimal control and maneuverability.
• Interchangeable jaw with options for a concrete pulverizer, concrete cracker, or shear.
• Open lower jaw, which improves penetration and rapidly downsizes material; wide jaw for efficiency.
• Dual rotation motors with superior holding power and durability.

The RS and RSM Series has been designed to handle C&D, rocks, structural scrap, demo debris, loose bundles or oddly shaped material.

• Full 360-degree rotation, dangling adaptor or flex mount 2-Pin quick attach interchangeable hydraulic coupler.
• Powerful, optimized and custom shapes enable any application or material.
• Optimized and protected cylinders with breaking system or thousands of cycles.
• Easily changeable shovel or digging tips for increased productivity and less downtime.
• Optional 24 or 230V DC Electro-magnet installed.

The CB 5500 and CB 7500 are designed for carriers in the 50 to 85 tons weight class, offering cracking forces of 150 tonnes and 190 tonnes, respectively.

• Jaw openings are 1,600 mm and 1,800 mm.
• Ideal for demolishing thick foundation walls, as well as cracking girders and heavy concrete at extreme heights.
• Two powerful hydraulic cylinders deliver virtually continuous closing force.
• Integrated speed valve gives faster working cycles.
• Two independently moving jaws eliminate displacement force.
• Can be used in residential areas where hydraulic breakers are not permitted.

BTI's MCP-IT fixed head hydraulic pulverizer is designed for secondary demolition.

• Quick cycle times and strategically placed teeth for fast fragmentation and separation of rebar from the concrete.
• Unique speed alternates between power and speed, depending on the load.
• Openings of the fixed body make the unloading of demolished material easier.
• Jaw design increases the life span with a simple tooth replacement to bring the tool back to original specification.

The DXS50 mobile shear has been engineered to deliver maximum force, excellent speed and the lowest weight ratio.

• Can be used for a wide variety of tasks including demolition, scrap processing and tire recycling.
• Equipped with DemaPower 2.0 hydraulic cylinder technology, delivering 25 percent more power than conventional cylinders of the same size, yet with faster cycle times.

The Razer X Multi-Jaw Demolition Tool (GRX) enables excavator operators to change jaw sets in less than two minutes, without leaving the cab.

• Hydraulic pin engagement and removal for faster and safer jaw changeouts.
• Available in cracker, shear and pulverizer jaw configurations.
• Heavy-duty pivot design is integral to the jaw set, providing a power curve to match the jaw's primary application.
• Reverse-mounted cylinder protects the rod from debris.
• Short, flat-top head with bolt-on bracket shortens the centre of gravity, making it easy to change mounting for different carriers.
