Darda’s demolition attachments for compact carriers now available in North America

Darda North America has brought the power and performance of their attachments for compact carriers, such as mini excavators, telehandlers, and skid steers, to the U.S. and Canada. Darda's lineup includes bolt cutters, concrete crushers, rock splitters, shears, and tank cutters. Suitable for a range of applications, including interior demolition, trenching, and rock excavation, Darda attachments offer high performance and low-noise, low-dust, and low-vibration solutions. 

Rock splitters

This tool allows controlled, silent, and cost-effective rock splitting with no noise, vibration or flying stone, resulting in safer breaking. The attachment has up to 3,600,000 pounds (1,632,933 kilograms) of splitting force. A drilled hole in the rock with a diameter of 3 inches (76 millimetres) is required before the splitter is inserted and adjusted to set the splitting direction. The wedge drives between the two counter wedges to press them apart, creating a split in a matter of seconds. 

Tank cutters 

Darda's tank cutter attachment provides cold, continuous cutting for steel tanks, pipes, and vessels. The adjustable cutting gap offers a 120,000-pound (54,431-kilogram) cutting force in materials up to 0.5 inches (13 millimetres) thick.

Concrete crushers 

Setting the standard for silent demolition, Darda's concrete crushers are ideal for job sites with strict noise restrictions. With large jaw openings and a crushing force from 44-54 tons depending on the model, the crushers can easily handle concrete slabs 17-22 inches (432-558 millimetres) thick. Additionally, all crusher models can cut through rebar up to 1.2 inches (30 millimetres) in diameter. For additional flexibility, the Concrete Crushers can be converted into steel shears by changing the jaw sets.

Bolt cutters 

Darda's new colt cutters offer a compact, hydraulic cold-cutting option with no sparks and no open flames. These attachments can cut through high-strength rebar up to 1.3 inches (32 millimetres) in diameter with maximum safety.

Steel shears 

The steel shears ensure fast, low-noise cutting for steel structures, large utility lines, and cutting metal girders for scrap yards. The attachment's 228,000-pound (103,419-kilogram) cutting force works independent of the carrier's hydraulic pressure for consistent power and enhanced control with an 8-inch (204-millimetre) opening for easy positioning.

"Any kind of demolition — whether that's cutting metal or breaking concrete or rock — can be really bothersome to the people living or working nearby," said Sébastien Berche, business development manager for Darda North America. "Darda attachments offer a way to mitigate the negative effects of noise and vibration. They are designed to get the job done in the safest way possible."
