In the Czech Republic, the demolition of old buildings plays a crucial role in redeveloping brownfields, such as former industrial sites and disused municipal buildings. Demolition methods vary, with professional companies often opting for specialized equipment. While blasting is sometimes used, more common methods include mechanical demolition, which also supports material recycling.
Develon, previously Doosan Construction Equipment, offers a range of demolition excavators that are transforming the industry. These machines, available in the Czech Republic through GARNEA a.s., include the DX140RDM-7, DX245DM-7, DX380DM-7, and DX530DM-7, which offer a range of features, from a reach of up to 31 meters to power outputs of up to 380 HP. They also meet the Stage V emission standard, ensuring both power and environmental responsibility.
The modular boom design and hydraulic locking mechanism provide these machines with remarkable flexibility. Additionally, their compact size—especially with the extendable chassis—makes them ideal for tight spaces. Customers can easily swap booms, enhancing the machines’ availability and simplifying transport.
In practice, these machines have proven invaluable for demolition companies across the Czech Republic. For instance, PERENA Liberec uses the DX380DM-7 for demolishing the former Tesla factory, appreciating its versatility and operator comfort. Similarly, Prodemi s.r.o. in South Bohemia chose the DX245DM-7 for its compact size, which allows it to work in confined spaces where larger machines cannot operate.
