Bobcat has introduced a new range of rotary grinder attachments for its compact loaders and excavators. Consisting of a double drum driven by an integrated high-torque hydraulic motor, they are said to be quieter in operation compared with equivalent hydraulic or pneumatic demolition tools and can be used to process material such as concrete, asphalt or rock.

They are designed to transmit relatively low vibration levels to surrounding structures and to produce small diameter debris that can be re-used. They can also be used for applications requiring precise removal of material, without damaging adjacent structures, as well as for tasks such as demolishing walls and other structures, digging trenches in hard and rocky ground, and for preparing asphalt or concrete surfaces for repair.

The RG20 grinder has a standard cutting width of 565 mm and is approved for use on Bobcat E32, E35, E45, E50, E55W and E60 mini excavators. The RG40 has a 625mm cutting width and can be used on the E80 excavator and the manufacturer’s S205H, S630, S630H, S650, S650H, T190H, T650 and T650H compact loaders. The RG60 grinder cuts to a width of 850mm and can be used with the S770H, S850H, T770H, T870H and A770H compact loaders. For more information visit www.bobcat.eu
