Rye Demolition’s first Rotar attachments

Worsley Plant, the Middlewich, Cheshire-based demolition attachment specialist has recently supplied RYE Demolition with its first ever Rotar products. Both attachments are manufactured by Dutch attachment manufacturer Rotar and have arrived on the fleet following glowing recommendations from the demolition community. Joining a wide and varied fleet of attachments designed for excavators up to 50 tonnes, the two Rotar models – an RSS 20 scrap shear and RDP 25S concrete processor – have impressed the operators in their short time on the fleet.

The Rotar tools have been put to work at the company’s Alperton project where they are being used to demolish a large reinforced concrete office block and are mounted designed to work on the company’s 30-tonne Caterpillar excavators. Regular operator Anthony Kane has been using both attachments since they arrived and said that both the shear and pulveriser have been performing very well and have impressed him with their build quality and operating speed.

The RDP 25S is said to boast a class leading cycle time of 2.2 seconds to open, and 2.4 seconds to close with a cutting force of 107 tonnes. Meanwhile, the RSS 20 packs a piercing force of 168 tonnes at its tip and over 813 tonnes of cutting force in the throat. “We have all been impressed with the Rotar equipment,” commented Ashley Barlow of Rye Demolition. “The build quality is excellent, and we like the modular design of the pulveriser teeth that allow us to change them over very quickly as they wear. We’ve noticed the speed that both tools open and close is slightly quicker than other similar sized attachments in our fleet which is a big bonus.”
