A Rock Hawg Solution

Westquay are distributors for specialist equipment brands including: Tesmec for rock trenching and quarry equipment; Simex with attachments for excavators, skid steers, telehandlers and back hoes; Kennemetal for carbide cutting tools; and Takeuchi tracked loaders.

At this year's Hillhead show come and see Tesmec Rock Hawgs in two sizes - the new 126-tonne and a 55-tonne. Tesmec have a proven reputation worldwide in surface mining, excavation and specialist trenching.

Rock Hawgs excavate, crush and eliminate blasting in a single machine. Now utilized in some of the toughest ground and rock environments, in sensitive areas where blasting is not an option or for ultra wide trenches or canals for major civils projects.

At Lafarge's Whitwell Quarry Rock Hawgs provided a unique solution, excavating a major new haul road without blasting under a highway bridge, achieved with fast cycle times and usable Type 1 crushed material with no requirement for any additional crushers.
