Welcome to the Modern Era of Demolition

Risk to human life eliminated

Robotic Arm Demolition

The G Leonard Robotic Arm has transformed the traditional method for the removal of overhead material in areas such as the preheater tower through the use of remote control manoeuvring. This remote control maneuvering enables descaling to be completed in a ‘safe and efficient’ way. 

Health and safety is a continuous challenge for businesses, especially cement plants which are very high risk. By adopting the new G Leonard Robotic Arm with remote control manoeuvring removes employees from these hazardous areas and ensures a safe and efficient working environment.


This in itself lends to increased productivity and time saving advantages with the ability to know the hazard to human life has been completely eliminated at the early stage of a shutdown, which is traditionally the highest risk area when the preheater tower is still contracting during cool down.

Benefits of Robotic Arm Demolition

  • Operators no longer have to place themselves in the dangerous environment of the unknown, unstable over head coating or unstable refractory resulting in a reduced number of health and safety risks such as:

➱Reduced risk to human health & life

➱Reduced risk of dust inhalation

➱Reduced risk of burns

➱Reduced risk of entrapment

➱Reduced risk of vibration from manual tools over prolonged periods

  • This consequently reduces operator risks to health & absences and can save the business both direct and indirect costs.
  • Good health and safety measures mean that staff can do their work more easily and safely which can subsequently boost morale knowing the environment is safe and free from risk, increasing productivity and reducing costs.
  • It can also help to build a positive relationship between clients and staff and increase shutdown working time.
  • The machine while eliminating the risk to human life also has the advantage of being quicker than manual tools which allows more time in the shutdown programme for other works to be completed.
