Excavator Demolition Machine Modification: Why is it necessary to install three demolition arms and a tilting cab?

November 19, 2025

With the increasing speed of urban renewal, the requirements for equipment in high-rise building demolition projects are also rapidly increasing. Traditional excavators often struggle when facing high-rise buildings of 20-40 meters, so "excavator demolition machine modification" has gradually become a must-have for major construction companies. The two most essential modifications are:

High Reach Three Section Demolition Boom

Tilting Demolition Cab modification

These two modifications can turn an ordinary excavator into a professional level demolition equipment, greatly improving the working height, safety, and precision demolition capabilities.

three section demolition arm

Three section dismantling arm modification: the core equipment for dismantling high-rise buildings

The three section demolition arm consists of three structural segments:

Main arm+middle arm+end dismantling arm.

Compared to traditional extended arms, it has higher strength, better stability, and a longer effective working range.

(1) Suitable for high-rise demolition

The effective working height of the three section demolition arm can reach 20-40 meters, making it easy to complete the demolition of high-rise facades, frame beams and columns.

(2) Precise control and high security

The three-stage structure makes the movement softer and can achieve "layer by layer dismantling and precise dismantling", reducing the risk of vibration and collapse.

(3) Can be paired with various dismantling attachments

For example:Concrete crushing pliers、Steel bar cutting、Rotating dismantling pliers、Sorting grab bucket.Make excavators a one-stop dismantling platform.

(4) Remote construction is safer

Operators can carry out high-altitude demolition without approaching hazardous areas, reducing the risk of falling objects.

Tilting cab

Tilting cab modification: making operation safer and more comfortable

When dismantling the three section dismantling arm, the operator needs to observe upwards for a long time. Therefore, standard cabins often have insufficient visibility, which can easily lead to safety hazards.

Therefore, the demolition machine is usually equipped with a tilting cab, which can tilt upwards by 30-45 degrees, making it easier for the operator to observe the high-altitude work area.

(1) A wider and clearer field of view

The upward viewing angle is increased, allowing the operator to accurately observe the position of the dismantling and reducing misoperation.

(2) Enhance security

The cab is usually equipped with:

High strength protective net

Thick tempered glass

Top anti falling object protection frame (FOGS)

High definition camera monitoring system

Effectively avoid falling object injuries.

(3) Significantly improved operational comfort

Staring at a high place for a long time puts a heavy burden on the cervical spine and shoulders. Tilting the cab can significantly reduce fatigue, improve working hours and meticulousness.

Under what circumstances is it suitable to convert an excavator into a demolition machine?

If your project includes any of the following situations, retrofitting the demolition machine will significantly improve efficiency:

Demolition of high-rise buildings (20-40 meters), such as hotels, office buildings, residential buildings, old factories, etc.

Fine demolition in densely populated urban areas requires control of vibration, dust, and collapse direction.

Demolition arms are the best alternative for areas where blasting and large equipment are prohibited from entering.

A construction scenario that requires one machine for multiple uses, where the entire process from demolition to classification can be completed by dismantling the building arm, crushing pliers, and steel bar cutters

 

Why must the three section demolition arm be modified by a professional manufacturer?

Demolition arms belong to structural high-risk products, and non professional modifications may cause:

Arm bent or broken

Oil cylinder burst

Machine tipping over

Insufficient chassis load capacity

Accidents caused by excessive vibration during homework

Professional factory furniture:

FEA force analysis

High strength alloy steel material

Robot welding technology

Anti shake structure enhancement

Protection systems such as safety valves and overflow valves

Complete hydraulic pipeline layout

Ensure the safety and reliability of the entire machine, and comply with construction standards.

Excavator demolition machine modification has become a trend in the construction demolition industry, through three section demolition arm modification and inclined cab modification

Not only can it improve the working height and dismantling ability of excavators, but it can also significantly improve safety and construction efficiency. For construction companies that require long-term demolition projects, this is a high return equipment investment.
