Aquajet ‘Extender’
Published 4/3 at 11:41Aquajet, the designer and manufacturer of hydrodemolition technology, has announced the release of its Extender accessory. This is a flexible addition to the Aqua Cutter 750V that is designed to easily adapt to surfaces with height variations in overhead, below grade or constrained space applications. The Extender comes with a hydraulic hose package that allows easy mounting on the robot, with no need for additional hydraulics or other equipment. The company showed the Extender at World of Concrete in Las Vegas.
“The Extender sets a new standard for precision and adaptability in hydrodemolition,” said Roger Simonsson, Aquajet managing director. “Projects sometimes require concrete removal in tricky spots or angles. We designed this tool to offer optimal versatility and flexibility for those unique jobs.” Contractors can quickly and easily attach the Extender to the Aqua Cutter’s tower to perform hydrodemolition on areas such as sloped roofs or roofs with varying heights up to 1.2m. Additionally, the Extender is useful in below grade applications such as ditches or canals where the concrete surface requiring removal lies up to 1m below grade level. The Extender can easily be mounted and removed based on the needs of the job.
With its full side shift capability, the Extender is also designed to enhance side operations between beams on structures like bridges and parking garages, extending up to 2.5m to either side. The extended capability for sideways applications requires the smaller protection cover over the power head. This function is especially beneficial in confined or tight spaces.
