Kocurek’s Ipswich facility buzzing as mammoth machine nears completion.
Back in November, we reported that Heavy Decom International‘s (HDI) new machine was just weeks away from completion. Well, the wait is almost over.
We can exclusively reveal that Kocurek Excavators Ltd, the market leading excavator conversion company charged with making the unit, is inviting customers from across the world to see a machine that combines an Hitachi EX1200 excavator with a Triple Articulated Boom.
Although both manufacturer and customer are keeping many of the specs close to their chest, DemolitionNews.com understands that the finished machine will weigh in at more than 200 tonnes and be able to take a 25 tonne shear attachment to a 20 metre working height. A 15 tonne tool can be used at 30 metres while a fly dipper will extend reach to 35 metres where the machine can still wield a seven tonne attachment.
The machine has its first job in February and is expected to be fully complete by the end of January; it is our intention to visit the machine for a closer look before then.
