13t Square Power Cropper 0 -350mm

The Power Cropper, also known as the concrete muncher, is used for ultra-fast pile reduction and has two functions specifically designed for cutting pre-cast, four bar piles. The Power Cropper is a very powerful machine and can be used in any application, including trenches and other confined spaces. One of the major benefits of the Power Cropper is its ability to retain excess concrete within the body of the machine for easy waste concrete disposal, saving time and ensuring a safer work environment.

The power cropper fits and is operated from excavators in excess of 13 tonnes
It is vibration free, meaning the risk of exposure to hand/arm vibration is totally eliminated.

The Power Cropper is used by being suspended from the dipper arm of an excavator to achieve one of the following:

Function 1 – The Power Cropper can break off the pile and rebar in one go to enable you to rapidly reduce the pile to a desired level, then dump the waste straight into a dumper or allocated site area.

Function 2 – The Power Cropper is then used to ‘nibble’ the pile, causing the concrete to fracture and leaving the rebar exposed.

4 Jaw Pile Cropper

The 4 Jaw Pile Cropper is an efficient and versatile tool for cutting cast in-situ, contiguous, and secant concrete piles ranging from 300mm to 1200mm, while leaving the rebar intact. It's easy to install and operate, utilizing an excavator's in-board hydraulics for a smooth and reliable cutting process. This user-friendly tool is optimal for pile-cutting due to its efficient cutting capabilities and versatile design.

Trench Cutter

This cropper has been successfully used in the housing industry when house footings have to be kept to a minimum, making considerable savings on concrete. The Trench Cropper is used for cutting cast in-situ and steel encased 200-400mm piles in a trench of only 700mm wide. This machine is unique to Mr Cropper and has become a favourite with Housing Groundworks Contractors who fully appreciate the saving on concrete that can be achieved compared to other Croppers on the market.

Single Bar Pile Cropper

The Single Bar Pile Cropper is the chosen equipment when cutting square, pre-cast, single reinforcement bar piles. It is lowered onto the pile and using the excavators in-board hydraulics to operate the jaw, it cuts the pile every 200mm, causing the concrete to break away, exposing the rebar and a level finish. All that is left is to cut the rebar to the required height.

CHD Cropper

The CHD Cropper has been especially designed to suit CHD or ‘corkscrew’ piles, but can in some cases be used for contiguous or secant piles. This unique cropper has the power and strength to remove the outside fins of the pile whilst leaving the rebar unhurt. This cropper is very powerful and has the weight to match, therefore we recommend a minimum 16 tonne excavator to carry and power this machine safely.
