VIDEO: North America’s biggest demolition excavator
A mining excavator doesn't usually go to work on an urban job site, but BCS Enterprises' Cat 5130B UHD is an impressive exception. Cat doesn't offer a 5130B ultra-high demolition excavator. Instead, over the course of multiple owners, two transatlantic journeys, and a couple of decades, a Cat 5130B mining excavator has been converted into North America's biggest demolition machine. Since 1956, BCS Enterprises has been helping clients safely and effectively demolish old infrastructure throughout the American Southwest. BCS specializes in selective and structural demolition, with key projects including a large power plant in Tucson, Phoenix Trotting Park, and a 200-foot-tall smelter stack in Dewey-Humboldt. Today, BCS Enterprises is one of the leading demolition companies in Arizona with headquarters, laydown yard, and shop facilities located in Mesa. Demolition has always been about more than simply smashing and wrecking buildings in an unorganized manner: it's a coordinated effort between engineering, heavy equipment, and operators to carefully remove outdated infrastructure. I had the opportunity to see BCS' Cat 5130B UHD on its latest project, the demolition of a Valleywise Medical Health Center building in central Phoenix, where it was integral to that coordinated demolition effort — but the 5130B UHD's vital contribution was only possible because of its unusual journey.
