“…When you have been writing about construction equipment for more than a quarter of a century as I have, it is easy to become jaded; to believe you’ve seen it all before. Thankfully, I have been fortunate enough to witness three revolutions in our industry. I reported on the arrival of the rough-terrain forklift; the near universal adoption of telescopic handler; and, like many others of my generation, I was forced to eat humble pie over my initial scepticism towards mini excavators.
As revolutionary as these three products were (and still are), their adoption was greatly enhanced by the timing of their arrival, and by the ability to meet a specific application, satisfy a particular demand.
At a time when environmental awareness is at an all-time high and when recycling is THE industry buzzword, I firmly believe that I am witnessing such a revolution for the fourth time following the introduction of the Dig A Crusher attachment.
Like the revolutionary products that have preceded it, the Dig A Crusher satisfies a very specific demand, converting a waste product into a saleable commodity on sites too small or too remote to warrant a dedicated crusher. They offer the additional advantage of extracting further utilisation and value out of an existing carrier machine. And, perhaps most importantly, they satisfy a very current need; the need to recycle.
I have seen these products on sites up and down the country and I have also helped adjudicate an independent test that pitted a Dig A Crusher attachment against a Red Rhino crusher and I am yet to see a Dig A Crusher customer display even the slightest degree of disappointment.
As an industry, we stand upon the brink of a major economic recession, one that will threaten the very livelihood of many of our peers and colleagues. However, what is clear is that those projects that ARE given the financial go ahead will have each ticked the environmental and recycling boxes. And it is these very projects where you will continue to find Dig A Crusher buckets…”
