For demolition and allied operations, Case India offers the Skid Steer loader, Excavator, Backhoe Loader, and Dozers. Also, demolition requires different machines for different roles says Puneet Vidyarthi, Brand Leader, Case India.

In a timeline when redevelopment in cities is a reality and rural infrastructure has found emphasis how enticing is the market for machines dedicated to demolition and recycling?
Recycling and demolition are a common part of the process in construction. To build a new structure, sometimes it requires demolishing older structures, clearing a path and recycling existing structures and materials. Therefore, the application of construction equipment in these activities is not uncommon. India is a developing nation and this year’s budget presents a lot of opportunities for the construction sector. It’s safe to assume that there will be a trickle-down effect for the demolition and recycling market as well. Given the versatility of our machines, we’re confident about the application of our construction equipment for any purpose.

What are some of the important factors to keep in mind while choosing the right product for demolition operations?
In the demolition activity, the construction process is reversed as the structure or its parts are removed. The right product for demolition depends on the type of demolition which is taking place, as well as, the versatility and strength of the machine. For demolition operations, an excavator is required to have better durability in order to complete the entire project without a halt, Case India’s CHEX excavator due to its increased plate thickness, heavy duty brackets and reduced tolerances increases the component life and minimizes downtime. Its advanced hydraulic system offers higher breakout forces, improved swing speeds and greater swing torque, resulting in faster cycle times and five per cent increase in productivity.

Skid steer loader is also a versatile product which could be used heavily in the demolition projects. Case India’s Skid steer loader with its compatible attachments provides the multiple use of the machine. A demolition site requires a lot of debris removal, overhead work and lifting. Case India’s SR130 rides on a 21 percent longer wheelbase, delivering greater stability and comfort and allowing increased lifting capabilities, regardless of jobsite conditions.

Demolition requires different machines for different roles. During demolition, there are mounds of dirt and rubble and there is requirement of a machine that makes the transfer of such materials easier. Dozers are a perfect example of such machines which makes this process a lot easier. Precision is a must in these works and Case India’s dozers not only clear the mounds of rubble easily but with their proven hydrostatic transmission deliver maximum pull and push power, lower maintenance and operating cost. Hence, depending on the type of demolition site and structure, the right equipment is chosen.

What are some of Case India’s products which find immense use in demolition and allied operations?
Case India offers a wide range of products that are being used across the length and breadth of the country. For demolition and allied operations, Case India offers the Skid Steer loader, Excavator, Backhoe Loader, and Dozers. Case India’s skid steer loader is a highly versatile machine with wide array of compatible attachments makes it suitable for a wide range of applications such as demolition, material handling, and maintenance. Equipped with a tight turning radius, the machine is perfectly suitable for use in confined areas with limited access.

Case India’s newly launched CHEX excavator is a long arm hydraulic excavator which does the job with maximum precision and efficiency. On the other hand, Crawler Excavator CX220C is designed for tough applications. Its robust design and versatile nature makes it a multipurpose machine, which can finish the job easily and within minimum time. Its advanced hydraulic system offers higher breakout forces, improved swing speeds and greater swing torque, resulting in faster cycle times and five per cent increase in productivity.

For small demolition projects, Case India’s backhoe loader offers maximum output and result. The Loader Backhoes are equipped with best in class fuel-efficient FPT engine. They come with higher loader lift capacity/ reach. It also includes bigger buckets which go up to 4.5/4.7 meters with an extendable dig depth of 5.9 meters that allow greater load lifting and the concrete or rocks to break easily.

Case India’s dozers are also used for demolition operations and are customized for tough conditions. They are equipped with hydrostatic transmission to provide best in class draw bar pull capacity and lower maintenance and operating cost.

What are some of the key safety operational safety benefits of Case India’s machines dedicated to demolition and recycling?
At present, all Case India equipment’s are furnished with in-built safety features. In order to ensure safety of a machine, Case India’s has its renowned telematics solution which helps in keeping a track of the machine with the help of a unique feature called ‘Geo-fencing’. This exclusive SMS alert feature helps the user with the controlled safety of the machine and self-detects the imminent need for a repair

All Case India Crawler Dozers, Backhoe loaders, skid steers, and Excavator are equipped with closed HVAC cabin with ROPS to provide a safe and secure environment for the operator to work in. The cabin includes an ergonomically designed seat which provides better lever position to assure the safety of the operations. Visibility of the site and surroundings is important to ensure safety of the operator as well as the people on the site, Case India’s R&D team put special focus in providing outstanding visibility for the operators. Our excavators provide wider glazed surface with two piece door window, an openable roof window to give better visibility on top and a 7 LED cluster to monitor the main machine parameters.

For Case India safety is paramount, it’s better to be safe and well equipped against danger. We have ensured this safety in our Skid steer loader with a control lockout system which is a safety interlock system intended to prevent any sudden movement of the machine when the operator is not seated properly while operating the machine.
