Kinshofer
4. Kinshofer MQP demolition processors save time and money. The unique hydraulic system, QMXlink, allows the user to change from a shear to a pulverizer jaw in less than 10 minutes. The patented DSXpower cylinder achieves 20% more power and 4.5-second cycle times. (

Lemac
5. The Lemac Concrete Crusher not only crushes concrete but also removes and cuts rebar to create two recyclable products without difficulty. Replaceable teeth and rebar cutters are standard. It attaches in the same place as the previously mounted bucket, utilizing the excavator’s bucket cylinder. The offset pivot maximizes crushing force, which allows for oversizing of main pivot pin and reduces any stress imposed on the stick. The entire jaw structure is manufactured from quenched and tempered alloy steel. The main pivot features heat-treated pin, bearings, seals and o-rings. (
