Top 10 of 2011 – #9

The Beast claws its way into the Top 10.

For all the blood sweat and tears we pour into our finely crafted prose, there is a simple formula for popularity here on the pages of DemolitionNews: bad news, accidents or big diggers.

And when it comes to big diggers, the Kocurek-modified machine purchased by Heavy Decom International was just about everywhere during this past year.

But we’re proud to say that we were among the first to see the machine in all its 200+ tonne glory, long before it would go on to award-winning success at the 2011 Demolition Awards.

That initial coverage of the impressive machine helped attract just over 1,500 views since we published it back in January.
