Genesis Attachments has appointed as new UK distributor for the fomer’s range of demolition and related material handling attachments. Commenting on the appointment, Blue Fuchs Managing Director Terry Hughes said "The Genesis range fits in perfectly to the existing range of equipment sold and serviced by Blue. We can now offer our existing and new clients a full package for the business whether it be demolition or recycling/re-handling."

The current Genesis line up consists of dedicated scrap shears ranging from the 2.5 tonne GXP200 right up to the 25 tonne GXP2500R suitable for a 160 tonne carrier. The GSG range of orange peel grabs up to 1.91m3 capacity will complement the range of Fuchs material handlers sold by the group. Mechanical concrete pulverisers and magnets make up the dedicated attachment range.

Genesis also manufacture the LXP and Versi-Pro range of processors with interchangeable cutting equipment.

The first unit, a GXP660R MAXX, has been sold to Central Demolition for use on their Agillent Tecnologies project in Scotland. The shear is being used for both structural demolition as well as sizing of materials before they are dispatched from site. "The GXP660R is proving its worth on this project. The tool is an excellent performer with high cutting forces combined in a well built unit." commented Central Demolition's Managing Director Ross Craig.
