Exclusive: In-cab filtration – I’ve seen the future…

In a safety driven world, is this the shape of things to come?

Beelen BV is the largest and best-known demolition contractor in the Netherlands. Its immaculate green and white machines are a familiar sight to demolition enthusiasts in its native country and beyond, as is the company’s reputation for doing things in the right way.

So when we heard that it had taken the bold step of installing BMAIR in-cab filtration from Trans-Elektro to protect its equipment operators from dust, airborne contaminants and gases, we wanted to find out more. So we hopped on a plane and visited one of the company’s sites in Utrecht to speak to chief operating officer Robert Sinke to find out more.

The video (below) explains why the company took this decision, the benefits it has seen, and the costs it has incurred. (In addition, a photo slideshow from the site can be viewed here).
