HRD news

Laarakkers has made up its mind

Today, Laarakkers , a demolition contractor with offices in the Netherlands and Germany, finally decided that its new Volvo EC700 HRD is going to be the full spec. Volvo EC700Blc HRD machine.

Before it said; it wanted a standard Volvo EC700 with fixed heavy duty undercarriage and fit it with the old HRD boom from its EC650.

It now is convinced that the full package offered by Volvo is the right choice for the company.

This new machine has an operating weight of 90t and a maximum working height of 32m when using a tool weighing 2.5t, and 29m carrying a 3.5t tool, the 3m extension, equipped with Volvo’s unique two pin quick connect system, is than removed.

This quick connect system also means that the machine can be fitted with a standard Volvo excavator boom for earthmoving applications as required, with boom changes taking one person less than 30 minutes.

The machine will also have the heavy duty hydraulic extending under-carriage, and a special designed safety package.

When in demolition mode, the machine can work in a full 360° envelop.

Laarakkers also bought a full spec. Volvo EC360C HRD. It now runs a field follow B-version of this machine.

If everything goes as planned the EC700B HRD should be delivered at the end of January 2008.

Second SK3500D for Nabekai

Nabekai has invested in another Kobelco SK3500D. The SK3500D is currently the Guinness record holding HRD machine, reaching 65mtr.

Again Cat 385C 60TUHD found!

Two months ago we told here that according to the Nacirema website the company will soon get the Highest HRD in the world. We were curious to see what kind of machine this is going to be? Especialy because the picture being used was a picture from the Cat 385C 60TUHD from Beelen.

Now we found another company called Demo Group OY, that says it operates a 150t 60mtr. telescopic Cat 385C TUHD.

Beelen says it's not going to sell its machine. And Rusch has no orders for another Cat 385C 60TUHD. So again, we are fed up with a mystery.

As for now;The Kobelco SK3500D with 65mtr Rig from Nabekai is still the World's Highest HRD machne.
Next year it has to handover this title to the Cat 5110B 90mtr. TUHD from Euro Demolition.
