power cropper open

Power Cropper

Designed to be better than the rest, and it is by some way. Two very powerful rams ensure no pile up to 300mm will not be cut with ease by the two extremely hard wearing and fully scissoring jaws.

The Power Cropper can be used to reduce the piles in sections of 1m and more at a time, cutting straight through the reinforcement allowing the site to be cleared extremely quickly. Highly recommended for sites with a sea of piles requiring quick reduction to ground level.

Key Features
  • lighter, stronger materials keep the weight to 1Tonne and the dimensions small to enable easy movement around your site.
  • Hydraulic control boxes ensure the two jaws operate in complete unison giving you much less trimming work at finish level.
  • Due to its excellent control, the Power Cropper can also be used to reduce the pile in small sections leaving the rebar intact.
  • 1 Tonne weight – recommended excavator size 13T and above.
