F Beissner, a contractor based in Niemetal/Varlosen, Germany, has expanded its heavy-duty demolition capabilities with a recent order for 10 Epiroc HB 4100 hydraulic breakers.
The breakers were ordered through F Beissner’s long-standing partner, US Abbruchtechnik, located in Oberhausen.
Weighing over four tonnes each, the attachments are being deployed on 40-tonne-class crawler excavators. Equipped with modern OilQuick adapter plates, the breakers allow for fast and safe tool changes directly on site, an essential advantage in demanding demolition environments.
The latest generation of these hydraulic breakers is equipped with the HATCON telematics system, providing real-time data on operating hours, location and service intervals. This enhances planning reliability, transparency and operational efficiency.
The decision to invest in the Epiroc HB 4100 breakers was based on long-term experience and trust. “These breakers deliver consistently high performance, are robust and remain reliable even under the toughest conditions, particularly in horizontal applications or dusty environments,” said Jens Uhlendorf, managing director of F Beissner.
The breakers have been operating on a broad spectrum of projects, such as bridge demolition with tight timeframes. One such example is the recent dismantling of the Betonkrebs Bridge on the A39 motorway crossing the Mittelland Canal, near Wolfsburg, in early June.
Four of the new breakers were already in use, as well as recycling operations and quarry applications in the surrounding region. On that specific site, around 2,600 tonnes of concrete and steel were dismantled and processed over a single weekend. The operation took place under difficult conditions on a pontoon platform and was executed in multiple shifts.
Beissner has relied for years on close cooperation with US Abbruchtechnik in Oberhausen, from delivery and commissioning of new equipment to regular maintenance and the rental of temporary units when needed. This partnership ensures that technology and service go hand in hand to provide a strong foundation for long-term success in the highly demanding demolition sector.
Epiroc Group is based in Stockholm, Sweden, and has around 19,000 employees supporting and collaborating with customers in around 150 countries. Epiroc’s attachments division develops, manufactures and markets excavator attachments, ground-engaging tools and hydraulic handheld tools. The products are used in construction, infrastructure, deconstruction, recycling, and mining. The division also provides related services and has production facilities on four continents.
