India’s first high reach goes to work…
Kocurek Excavators supplies first high reach demolition excavator to Indian subcontinent.
Here at Demolition News, we pride ourselves on having our fingers on the pulse of the industry; of being fully informed of all that is going on in the great wide world of demolition. So quite how this one passed us by, we’re not entirely sure (although we’re going to blame the fact that Kocurek’s new website was under construction).
The Ipswich-based excavator modifier has supplied India’s first high reach, demolition spec excavator in the shape of a new Volvo EC460BLC complete with 26 metre high reach front end and the familiar Kocurek modular joint.
The machine was commissioned over Christmas 2008 and went to work on its first job carrying out a prestigious job to demolish part of Mumbai International Airport and was sub-contracted from M/s Larsen & Toubro Ltd.

And so, for all our fancy news searches and extensive list of contacts around the globe, a holidaying teenager apparently knows more about the equipment dealings of one of the UK’s premier demolition companies than we do. Further proof, if it were needed, that we probably need a proper job!

It’s funny to be talking about a high reach machine going to India while there’s a separate discussion going on about the lack of them in the US.
Which of these is the developed nation again?

Great comment from Oliver James. Could it be that India recognise that UK knows what it is doing whereas USA is certain that they know best?
