Leading equipment manufacturers gather to compile new high reach guidance.
Representatives of all the world’s foremost manufacturers and converters of high reach demolition excavators gathered at the National Federation of Demolition Contractors’ Resurgam House head office yesterday to start work on the revision of the Federation’s high reach guidance notes.
Hosted by NFDC chief executive Howard Button and industry veteran Paul Brown, co-author of the original guidance published some five years ago, the meeting was attended by representatives of Caterpillar, Hitachi, JCB, Komatsu, Liebherr and Volvo together with attachments specialist Sandvik and Europe’s foremost high reach converters, Kocurek and Rusch.
Demolition News was in attendance (and will be part of the editorial team tasked with producing the new guidance) and broadcast parts of the meeting live via Ustream.
