The concrete eaters... A hydraulic concrete crusher excavator attachment is a demolition tool used to break concrete structures. It connects to an excavator's hydraulic system, using the hydraulic fluid to power its jaws. The attachment consists of two jaws: a fixed one and a moving one, which is controlled by the excavator's hydraulics. When the moving jaw closes, it crushes the concrete between the jaws. This tool is effective for demolishing buildings, bridges, and other concrete structures, as it can handle reinforced concrete and other tough materials. Its use improves efficiency and safety on demolition sites by reducing the need for manual labor and providing precise control over the demolition process. video rights : respective owners DM for removal / credits #demolition #concrete #construction #engineering #civilconstruction #civilengineering #engenhariacivil #engenharia

They are using those on I-294 in Illinois recycling all that concrete. It's mind boggling thinking about all the logistics on a project like that and keep traffic flowing.
