Estimating Productivity of Concrete Demolition
* Production rates listed are based on 8-hr shift. The above figures are for general estimation purpose only and must not be used to guarantee any production figure to the customer. The actual working results may vary according to the quality and structure of the material to be broken, required degree of material size reduction, installation, condition of the carrier, conditions at the worksite, haulage of the broken material, skills of the operator etc.
