Tata Hitachi Construction Machinery Company Pvt. Ltd.’s flagship EX1200V excavator has been deployed by Edifice Engineering for a major high-rise demolition project in Haryana, marking a significant milestone in India’s specialised demolition capabilities.
The EX1200V excavator has been integrated with a specialised high-reach demolition attachment, making it one of Asia’s tallest demolition machines currently in operation. Designed for dismantling tall structures safely and efficiently, the attachment features a telescopic boom configuration, enabling operations at a working height of up to 51 metres, equivalent to demolishing structures of approximately 17 floors.
Weighing around 3 tonnes, the attachment enhances the machine’s reach and flexibility while maintaining stability and precision during high-rise demolition. The telescopic boom allows progressive extension, ensuring controlled dismantling at significant heights while adhering to strict safety standards.
This deployment highlights how large-capacity excavators like the EX1200V can be adapted for specialised demolition applications through advanced attachments and engineering integration. With its robust structure, powerful hydraulics, and high operational stability, the machine serves as a reliable base for demanding demolition tasks.
Speaking about the deployment, Siddharth Chaturvedi, General Manager – Marketing, Tata Hitachi Construction Machinery Company Pvt. Ltd., said:
“The deployment of the EX1200V for this project highlights the capability and versatility of Tata Hitachi’s large excavators in specialised applications. Our machines are designed to deliver the power, reliability and stability required for challenging operations such as high-rise demolition.”
Commenting on the development, Mohan Ramanathan, Founding Member of the Indian Demolition Association, said that the adoption of advanced high-reach demolition technologies marks an important step in enhancing safety, precision and efficiency in India’s demolition sector.
Jigar Chheda, Partner, Edifice Engineering, added that integrating the EX1200V with the specialised high-reach attachment enables the company to undertake complex high-rise demolition projects with greater safety and operational control.
As India’s cities continue to evolve and redevelop, the demand for specialised demolition equipment and high-capacity excavators is steadily increasing. Deployments such as this highlight the growing role of advanced machinery and engineering solutions in enabling safer, faster and more efficient demolition practices across the country.
