Competition – Dealt a crushing blow…

Cook up a suitable caption for the photo below and bag yourself some goodies

A large contingent of the world’s demolition and construction equipment industry descended upon Paris last week for the massive Intermat show. Sadly, it appears that at least one familiar face failed to make it back.

The sales team from Dig A Crusher had gathered to view the world’s largest carrier-mounted crusher bucket from its Italian supplier, MB Crusher; a 10 tonne beast of a bucket designed for use with excavators in the 70 tonne operating weight class and which boasts a crusher output of around 240 tonnes/hour.

Unfortunately, as you will see from the photo below, one of the Dig A Crusher crew – possibly through a mix of excitement and cheap local wine – got just a little too close to the 1,500 x 700 mm jaw opening.

Rather than offering our condolences to our buddy Sean Heron at the loss of one of his team, we have decided to turn his loss into your gain and are offering a scale model Liebherr TL 435-13 telehandler and a branded Dig A Crusher jacket to the person that comes up with – in our opinion – the funniest caption.
