cwr Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Hi folks Nearing the time to take down the old house. It's 2 story, stone wall with a ridge about 9m high. I'll have it fully stripped inc roof off. Just wondering if a 13t digger would be capable of pushing the walls in safely, or something bigger/ more specialised needed? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 D-rigs usually have extra protection for the operator. All things being equal, bigger is better as it allows you to do more remotely and keep people out of harms way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Punter Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 I think it would be worth getting a demolition firm in to do this. Worth checking them out on the HSE database https://resources.hse.gov.uk/notices/search/standard/default.asp and do make sure they have insurance and RAMS.

Conor Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 More than adequate. I pulled our 1.5 story red brick bungalow down with a 1.6l VW golf and a long chain. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
