Tools, Equipment, & AttachmentsHave you heard about the latest tool or piece of equipment? Do you have any favorites? Whether it's hydraulic, air, electrical, or mechanical that uses grapples, hammers, shears or wrecking balls, you can talk about all of it here.
Looking into a Genesis LXP 300 for our 80,000 lb excavators.. Does anyone have experience with these rotating processors? Why or why not the Genesis in lieu of LaBounty or others?
We are looking into possibly getting shears and concrete pulverizer jaw sets. The video shows 15-20 minute change out time which seams pretty neat.
I agree it's a wonder to watch an experienced operator run one of these things.
Both Genesis and Labounty have a good reputation. I throw in Kinshofer as a 3rd alternative with maybe the best multiprocessor. There are more out there but many are rebranded or made by others, whereas these 3 build and support them themselves.
Genesis and Labounty seem about the same in price and technology - the difference could be support each offers in your area. Their multiprocessors seem heavy but that's not a big deal most times.
The Kinshofer is proven, much more established in Europe (Demarec is their brand there) and priced aggressively in the US especially the jaws. Some clever technology makes them lighter but still powerful and protected, important on a high reach.
And the jaw changeout seems easier. On a Genesis or Labounty you set the jaw on a cradle or a concrete barrier to change it - with Kinshofer you set it on the ground, unscrew one bolt with a handtool, swap jaw off the ground and redo the bolt without an issue. Using a cradle is no big issue if you plan ahead . . . but that doesn't always happen.
It would have it that Genesis and la bounty both are getting into the third member market. Europe has had multi processors in the market for years. We have been selling them in the USA for several years now. All of our customers have had great sucsess with them.The interchangeable jaws take 10-20 minutes.
service and support is the key for big dollar attachments ! it;s been my experince that when i call both genesis and labounty and buy the time labounty returns my call < days later at times > i have had 2 or 3 conversations with genesis and parts on the way!!!

Thanks for any insight.

Hey Rich:
What kind of demo you got going on this summer? Any cool jobs? Would love to take some photos if you got anything interesting going on down your way.
I have 3 Genesis LXP300 in my rental fleet (2 on 330 linkbelt, 1 on a SK350 or our SK485 high reach) and we are putting a GXP200 in on a LinkBelt 210 3rd member shortly.
We have very little problem with them cutting steel or concrete. What are you using it for, steel, concrete, both?

we only use Demarec andCat MP20 - MP40, very pleased with their product. They are our main product due to the service net pon/cat and Volvo have in Norway.
The pic shows a Volvo700 with MP40 concrete crusher, Hitachi460 with MP20 Crusher, and Volvo360 with Demarec grapple.
