Demolition with excavator and hydraulic breaker
In demolition the excavator works from a distance: it pulls down, breaks concrete with the hydraulic breaker and sorts the rubble with the grab, with nobody under the structure. The operator has experience with old structures and knows the order in which a building comes down.
Which machine to choose
| Recommended machine | Rate with operator |
|---|---|
| Hitachi ZX210-6 crawler excavator (24 t) houses, outbuildings, small halls; breaking foundations and slabs | RON 2,200/day |
| Hitachi ZX250LC-7 crawler excavator (31.4 t) taller buildings, thick reinforced concrete, large rubble volume | RON 2,400/day |
| Hitachi ZX48U-6 mini excavator (5.1 t) interior demolition, fences, small outbuildings | RON 800/day |
The breaker and the grab are added from the calendar as attachments, priced per day. For an ordinary house, the ZX210-6 with breaker covers both the demolition and breaking the foundation.

What to prepare before we come
- The demolition permit, where required, and disconnected utilities (power, gas, water).
- What stays on site (fence, trees, neighbouring buildings).
- How rubble is removed: skip, dump truck, recycling.
- Whether there is asbestos or other hazardous material — removed separately by licensed firms.
