Veit Puts High-Reach Backhoe to Work

Veit, a specialty contracting and waste management company based in Rogers, Minn., has taken delivery on the state’s first high-reach backhoe.

The high-reach backhoe is used for controlled demolition. The equipment has several feature that make it well-suited to demolition in high and tight spaces, and safer than a crane and wrecking ball. Unlike cranes, the backhoe does not require a significant amount of space in which to operate, and is able to demolish a structure in controlled amounts, relatively vibration free. The end of the boom is equipped with a high-pressure dust system, which eliminates the need for a laborer to stand in an aerial lift where fall hazards are a concern.

Veit’s high-reach backhoe was custom designed and includes a Caterpillar base, outfitted with a special boom capable of reaching heights in excess of 125 feet.

Veit’s specialty contracting services include earthwork, demolition, environmental remediation, utilities, foundations and industrial cleaning. Waste management services include roll-off containers, construction and demolition debris landfills, recycling and transfer facilities and waste hauling.
