Doppstadt brings Redback grinders to the US

Velbert, Germany-based Doppstadt Umwelttechnik GmbH is now offering its Redback grinders product portfolio to the United States. According to Doppstadt, the machines are known for their robustness and performance.

Doppstadt says its Redback grinders have earned a reputation for toughness and durability proven over decades working “in one of the harshest operating environments in the world: Australia.”

“Durability is at the heart of the Redback philosophy,” says David Stubbs, founder of Redback. “The oldest known machine still in operation was built 30 years ago.”

Doppstadt is working with its distributor Ecoverse LLC to introduce two models specifically designed for the U.S. market: the DS800T with 785 a horsepower engine and the DS1125T with 1,125 hp of power. “ Redback combines Australian toughness with German engineering precision and American practicality,” states Doppstadt.

Both models feature powerful Caterpillar diesel engines and what Doppstadt calls advanced contamination protection and an accessible design that allows for straightforward field maintenance.

The partnership with Avon, Ohio-based Ecoverse will provide “comprehensive nationwide support” for the Redback grinders in both the U.S. and Canada, says Doppstadt, adding that Ecoverse’s established dealer network provides service, parts supply and technical training to machine users.

"After conducting an intensive market analysis, we are convinced that Redback horizontal grinders are ideal for consistently meeting the requirements of the U.S. market in high-speed grinding,” says Sascha Platte, product manager at Doppstadt. “We combine proven engineering excellence with tried-and-tested technology for machines that deliver in the field.”

Redback grinders are designed to operate in a range of applications, including green and wood waste processing, land clearing and storm debris cleanup, says Doppstadt. End products they can make include mulch, compost and biofuels.
