A new Hitachi EX1200 conversion is tackling a major demolition project in the Port of Rotterdam.
It seems that the Benelux countries’ love of massive demolition machines shows no signs of abating. In the same week that we exclusively revealed that the former Heavy Decom International goliath known as The Beast was bound for Belgian shores, we can bring you this exclusive video of a similarly monstrous Hitachi EX1200 conversion currently at work in the Port of Rotterdam.
Designed, developed and owned by Van Leeuwen Katwijck Groupe (VLK) in the Netherlands, the 200 tonne machine features an 18 tonne Mantovanibenne CR130 attachment and is known, ominously, as The Red Devil.
This short video was shot exclusively by our video partners Django which is currently producing a feature-length edition of the movie that will be available for sale later this week.
Until then, check out this monster:
