Whether it is to demolish a house, a place of business, or an industrial facility, a demolition project requires plenty of heavy machinery to accomplish the task to the expected standard. There are many types of demolition machinery that are used on-site, with each providing a unique function based on the needs of the project.
Some of this machinery is also customisable, allowing it to perform a range of different tasks with a simple swap of attachments.

Demolition Machinery in Home Demolition
When it comes to residential demolition, a range of machinery is used to safely demolish the home and clear out the site. Large excavators are commonly used for the bulk of the destruction, using its sturdy tray to plough through the walls of the property to bring down its structure. Other attachments are available for the excavator based on the requirements of the job, such as concrete busters and pulverisers.
If the property features large amounts of concrete or cement, skid steer loaders or track loaders are called upon to break through this durable material. As demolition projects are guaranteed to feature heavy amounts of debris, especially for larger properties, these loaders are also used to remove this debris from the site. This ensures the location is kept safe for everyone working there, as well as anyone who might visit after work has been completed.
Demolition Machinery in Commercial Building Demolition
As commercial properties are typically bigger than residential ones, they often require bigger sized demolition equipment to complete the job effectively. Whether it is larger sized excavators or loaders, these machines are used to safely break down the commercial property and remove all traces of debris from the site. The terrain of the property is also a consideration, as some machines are better suited to working on concrete while others are built for muddy surfaces.
Sometimes a commercial project requires more than just demolishing the property. While interior strip-outs and asbestos removal are typically carried out by hand, machinery is also used to safely transport these materials off-site so they can be disposed of in a sustainable manner. If a site has excess soil, excavators are often used to dig up and remove large amounts, allowing the business located there to continue operating without further impediments.
Demolition Machinery in Industrial Demolition
Industrial projects require a more systematic, detailed, and controlled approach compared to other demolition projects, due to the risky and challenging environments they often present. This makes it vital that the right-sized equipment is used, equipped with the right attachments for the job to avoid any incidents that put people at risk. This is especially true in high-risk sites, such as chemical plants, power plants, and mines.
Like all demolition projects, excavators are used to destroy structures and transport materials. They are also used to dig up any soil that needs to be moved. Sometimes a crane equipped with a wrecking ball may even be required if the industrial facility is particularly large. Once the demolition has concluded and the structures have been brought down, loaders are called in to clear out the debris and load it to be safely transported off-site.
