Genesis Establishes Demolition Division
Genesis Attachments, Superior, Wis., has established a new company division dedicated specifically to the demolition market. Headed up by Mark Ramun, formerly Genesis’ Great Lakes regional manager and product specialist, the newly-formed Demolition Division will focus on new products and strategies designed to serve the demolition contractor.

"We have always had a strong commitment to the demolition professional and this market," says Ramun. "The success of our DemoPro, shears and grapples is proof of that. However, because of our recently-expanded factory and engineering/R&D departments, we are now clearly positioned to further focus our efforts on addressing the needs of the demolition professional."
The new Demolition Division will capitalize on the success enjoyed by Genesis’ XP and Pro Series mobile shears and attachments. "We feel we can make an equally dramatic impact on the role our attachments play for the demolition professional," says Kevin Bakke, Genesis’ vice president.
"Our shears and DemoPros have a solid presence in demolition and reconstruction applications, both here and abroad, so we are certainly no strangers to the needs of the market," Bakke continues. "However, we now feel we can take that commitment to another level and the Demolition Division is a major step toward making that happen."
Genesis Attachments Inc., a Paladin Attachments company, is a leading manufacturer of hydraulic attachments for use in demolition, scrap processing, reconstruction, utility and waste handling operations. More information on the company and its products can be found at http://www.genesisequip.com
SENNEBOGENS SERVE RICHMAN YARD
Two Sennebogen 835 R-HD tracked scrap handlers are performing a variety of material handling tasks at S.D. Richman Sons Inc. in Philadelphia, a dealer for Sennebogen LLC, Charlotte, N.C.
Bruce and David Richman acquired the machines through the Edelen & Boyer dealership in Colmar, Pa., where John McCusker has been their long-time contact. "When John told me that Sennebogen has the machine I had been looking for, I just told him to bring it in," says Bruce Richman.
Sennebogen’s 835 R-HD is a 110,000-pound track-mounted scrap handler with a lift capacity in the 39,0000-pound range. "I figured a purpose-built machine would allow a lighter machine to do the same work at a lower operating cost."
S.D. Richman Sons outfits one of the machines with a magnet to lift heavier ferrous scrap, while the other Sennebogen 835 uses a grapple to handle lighter material. The scrap handlers load and unload trucks and feed shears and balers at the two-and-a-half-acre yard.
S.D. Richman Sons will likely purchase a rubber-tired Sennebogen 835 M scrap handler next. "We know we can keep an 835 M busy in most areas of the yard," Richman says.
