After a six-month hiatus, the Demolition Digest blog is back.
The recession has claimed many victims within and around our industry. But few surprised and saddened us more than the (thankfully temporary) demise of the US’ Construction Equipment magazine.
As we mentioned previously, this magazine had long been the industry benchmark; the one by which other construction magazines were measured, with most of them falling a long way short. So we were extremely honoured when we were invited to take our idle ramblings onto the Construction Equipment website last year in our own Demolition Digest blog.
Sadly, the Demolition Digest blog died along with the rest of the Construction Equipment empire when the magazine was closed earlier this year.
But thanks to magazine stalwart Rod Sutton and his Stateside colleagues, Construction Equipment is back, risen like a phoenix from the ashes; and dragging along behind it, like a leaden-footed zombie, is the undead Demolition Digest.
It is our intention that the majority of our equipment-related content will appear on the Demolition Digest; partly because that’s where it belongs but also because, in many areas, Europe is leading the way in demolition equipment innovation.
The first of the reborn Demolition Digest stories takes a closer look at the Volvo/Kocurek joint-venture, zero tailswing, high reach excavator that caused something of a furore when we covered it here a few weeks back, and which is set to cause a similar level of excitement at next month’s Demolition Awards.
We hope you’ll add the Demolition Digest blog to your required reading list and look forward to receiving your feedback.
