Hi, my compliments for your working experience: this is a very dangerous work, where is most important experience , brain and wait ( that i haven' , the wait ! ). And thank you for another demonstration of what i continuos say: better the old cable excavators, with good operator, that the too expensives high reach hyd machines, with out of logical cost, high fuel consume, and very dangerous because, for arrive to these heights, they must work near the building, with a serious risk of remain under, when the structure go down. After more of 40 years of earth moving machines experiences, many of them following the high rech machines, i am arrived to this incredible old conclusion, out of logical in the 2017, but really. Thank you
Segniore Cappelletti, well said! The demolition ball is still an adequate solution for wrecking jobs, especially with high buildings. operators knowing this art get less and less - and young operators with enough fascination to work on old rope machines are a rare breed. Here in Germany, more and more customers forbid the use of wrecking balls to avoid problems caused by dust and vibration. But it's true, it's a fuel efficient solution that needs very little spare parts, too. And it is still fascinating to watch
Thank you Mr FatCatGotHot. I started my service work , 50 years ago, on RB machines . I love them , and BE naturally. i am a skilled demolition attachments technician also. I considered the wrecking ball the really more security work , for concrete buildingsdemolitions. The problem is the driver, that is an artist, the transport cost and the stupid obtused engineer mentality. The HR booms are too expensives and many times more dangerous for the slow reopen crushers and shears speed. Plus the fuel consume and rest. But isn't modern solution.........!. No comment......! Here, all engineers think of work in white jackets and fashions shoes !. Tks
Absolutely brilliant video ! I love destruction ! Do they actually pay these wrecking ball operators ? I would pay the company good money to give me a comprehensive training course, and then let me loose ! i.e. I would pay them !!!
Very interesting method, seems to work pretty well too. Like someone else asked, when was this shot and in what country? When the bricks fall off you can see grey board underneath and yellow insulation wool under that. Considering that it is an old factory, could all of that be asbestos?
Tempting to swing sideways at it, but that’s how you bend the jib :o) Great to see a machine doing exactly what it is best at! (except lift and carry, which very few machines do these days)
One of those things levelled my housing estate where I use to live
This guy knows how to knock a building down, one floor at a time

I hate it when people have a great shot but they ruin it by panning out instead of zooming in. Use your damn zoom people!

The old Ruston Bucyrus I had play in one those lots pedals & levers
It no ball but it does the job👌🏻
I even think its better then the wreckin ball
Why wouldn’t you show us the whole demo??? Why tease us with just a little bit of it??

The quality of this building must have been quite poor, the guy is hardly touching it...🥴🥴
Wouldn’t this method be slower than using a bucket?
What country is this in?
Bricks not tied in. Just sat on top of each other. Terrible construction
Ruston Bucyrus cranes great machines - sadly missed! Check out The Big Shilling documentary on You Tube.
Painful to watch such light fingered demolition. Get on with it !
He is not good. Much to slow.
Alrighty
:-)
