The Rotar RCC Concrete Cutter has been instrumental in tearing down the infamous \u2018Berlin Wall\u2019 in Piccadilly Gardens in the centre of Manchester, as part of a revitalisation project for the area.<\/p>\n

The unique Rotar RCC, the first one in the UK, made light work of bringing down the huge concrete structure which has been standing for 18 years.\u00a0\u00a0 It took just a few days to complete the task due to its astonishing power. AW Demolition were the first customers of the Rotar RCC30 and were working with Hyde Demolition on this high-profile job.<\/p>\n

Austin Wilkinson of AW Demolition said of the weekend job: \u201cWell last night was the night\u00a0when we started to demolish the \u201cBerlin Wall\u201d in Manchester Piccadilly Gardens using the very First Rotar RCC30 with Ramplifier in the country, and boy was she impressive. Honestly at first when\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>Worsley Plant<\/em><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Rotar<\/a>\u00a0told me about it and flew me out to the factory, I wasn\u2019t totally convinced it would do what they said it would. However, I decided to make the investment. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

After it sitting for 18 months in the yard as a show piece, I finally got to use it. I didn\u2019t just want to put it on any old job, it had to be the right job to test it. Well this was the job to use it on, the concrete in this wall is solid and I mean solid, not much rebar, just really hard. But it worked and I would say at this moment in time, she is preforming like a tool that sits on the end of a 70 \u2013 80 ton machine. When the Ramplifier kicks in \u2013 wow, it\u2019s shear power!!!\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Austin now knows for sure it will be a welcome addition to his fleet of Rotar attachments and provide cutting edge technology to help him achieve his projects with greater efficiency, power and speed. It\u2019s strength and speed has already been proven on this first high-profile job.<\/p>\n

The RCC Concrete Cutter is ideal for your primary demolition needs when you need to cut concrete. Built for heavy industrial demolition, it is ideal for use on jobs involving thick concrete with reinforcements inside such as bridges, parking garages etc. The RCC has a huge opening with massive force. Ideal for when you just want to cut concrete down before it is moved onto other stages of demolition, for example, to be pulverized or taken away to be crushed elsewhere.<\/p>\n

The RCC features RAMPLIFIER technology, giving double the power and placing it at the cutting edge of the market. RAMPLIFIER is installed inside the cylinder rod so it is fully integrated, offering a higher force of cutting power \u2013 a massive increase from 350 to 700 bar.<\/p>\n
