This project involved the demolition of former farm buildings and outbuildings near Ilkley — a soft strip and barn demolition using our 6-tonne Takeuchi machine fitted with the Lehnoff Varialock attachment system.
The Lehnoff Varialock is our preferred attachment system for compact and rural demolition work — its versatility allows our machines to quickly switch between different attachments without the need to leave the cab. This means faster working, less downtime, and a more efficient overall operation for the client.
On this farm demolition, the compact machine size also meant we could work in areas that would have been inaccessible to larger plant — negotiating farm tracks, gateways and tight yards without difficulty.
The former farm buildings were demolished and the site cleared to a clean level finish — ready for the next phase of residential development. Another straightforward but well-executed demolition delivered by the Hardcore Crushing team.

Compact Takeuchi with Lehnoff Varialock — the right tool for rural demolition. Site cleared, level and development-ready on completion.
