    Testa's Terex Crusher came in later in the process. Nothing is wasted. Everything is recycled and/or redistributed.

    First the building was brought to the ground. While that happened rebar was systematically removed from columns and supports with a LaBounty muncher on a 345. Then concrete was crushed while the sub-basements were dug and hammered out.

    Pretty cool vid. I'll be the first to admit I know nothing of demo except the kind that comes out of the barrel of a tank cannon and what I learned in a demo (the kind that goes BOOM) course. I can see where both the crane and high reach have thier places. I just got an old JCB TLB yesterday. My first piece of construction equipment. So I'd say I'm about to learn things.

    A high reach is generally 50 - 100 ton machine. Not a great lot of general use on sites here in England for the larger machnes. 20 tonners are the norm, so I think a high reach would not be that versatile

    From what I have been told you never know on the old ones. They are like finger prints no 2 are a like. We had to do some work on one of ours and while cutting a hole into it. The metal was very odd like nothing anyone at the shop had see.

    I remember when they were doing that job, the company I was working for was out of Methuen and I would drive by on my way out of the yard.
