Ward Demolition have a comprehensive range of equipment for all demolition and recycling purposes, and all our equipment is available for hire.
We know that using the right equipment for the right job is crucial for optimum results on-site, especially when time is critical.
We operate a huge fleet of machinery. We have 50 excavators ranging in size from one tonne to 70 tonne, including high reach, super high reach, skid steer loaders and wheel loaders. Our haulage fleet consists of 20 truck and trailers, hook bins and articulated barrel bins, ranging in size from four wheelers to eight wheelers. All vehicles are equipped with GPS systems. We have two transporter trucks that move our plant to various sites, as well as four crushing and screening plants.
We have everything you need for residential demolition, right through to large scale industrial projects.
Innovative Equipment
Husqvarna DMR 140 and DXR 300 Robotic Machines
These machines have been a monumental step forwarded in terms of Health and Safety during the Demolition process. The Robotic excavator allows staff to remotely operate the machine from a safe distance, in situations or areas that would generally be hazardous for operators or workers to be present. The use of this robot greatly minimises risk imposed on our team during the demolition process by removing the need for human exposure. The vast potential of these machines have been evident on our multi stored jobs such as Imperial Tobacco and Pigeon Palace (Albert St). The team were able to operate the machine on-top of lift shafts and other dangerous rooftop areas while remaining unattached and a safe distance away. The DMR 140 has been a game changer for operating in confined spaces, it’s tight compact design enables it to fit into spaces unreachable by other machines. This in turn has reduced tasks that would of taken weeks with hands on labour down to mere hours by Robotic machine. Reducing labour costs and fuel consumption as it eliminates the need for multiple workers traveling to and from work for weeks. Additionally the machines run on the same generator as the hilt hand breakers therefore the significantly reduced run time further reduces our carbon footprint.
Integrated Dust Suppression System
A number of our excavators are fitted with a high pressure water pump which is powered by the machine’s hydraulics. This dust suppression system works by releasing a fine mist from four trigger nozzles that surround the diggers attachment. This allows dust to be encapsulated directly at the source of impact, significantly reducing our dust emissions. This device is a huge step forward for environmental practices as the size of the water vapour is so minuscule that the ground does not become wet enough to cause silt fun off. Furthermore the device saves water as the operator can turn the system on and off, in the cab with a flip of a switch, meaning water is only dispensed when necessary. In comparison the water cannon runs continuously and oscillates across the entire site, it is effective but not nearly as targeted or efficient in water saving. The new dust suppression system means for safer practices, as the need for a manned hose is significantly reduced, allowing ground crew to spot and assist from a safer distance.
Our High Pressure Dust Suppression System is the most advanced technology on the market for saving the environment from dust emissions. This high level dust management makes the air significantly clearer resulting in better visibility and safer breathing. We are proud to be the first Demolition company to bring this device into New Zealand and have been awarded Best Environmental Practice for the 2022 NZDAA (New Zealand Demolition and Asbestos Awards).
2020 Kenworth T909 “MR WARD”
“We’ve been around for a fair while and we have a depth of size, as we have so many machines and people. Quite often when you’re on a contract a machine will break down, but we’ve got so much gear and depth that we can just go and get a transporter and bring in another machine. When it gets busy we can bring in our own trucks and get it shifted quickly, as a lot of our work is time dependant. We can shift from one tonne to 100 tonne and we can pretty much do it all in house.”
