First Square has developed a universal plate for its teledippers
The first one has been fitted to our current demo teledipper, a 17m originally for a Kobelko SK200 This will enable hanger brackets from various machines to be changed quickly (bolted / unbolted)

Never in the field of construction equipment, was there so many names for one single item
Prizes if you knew them all !! Teledipper Telestick Telearm Telescopic dipper Telescopic arm Slide arm Shaft sinker Grapple arm Telescopic front Deep dig attachment Watch this space for more !! A year ago we were proud to be appointed the European representative for Ransome Equipment in USA
On our first anniversary, 12 months down the line, we are even more pleased to have made that move Family owned (third generation) drawing on experience from other family owned businesses such as main Caterpillar CAT dealer Ransomes www.ransome.com Ransome Equipment is the largest supplier of excavator attachments and specialist fronts in N America and has a massive range to suit every industry – for full details see www.ransome-equip.com and www.longreachhighreach.com This project is now approaching completion, and has upgraded the tunnel for 21st century
Several stages of the job, particularly the coffer dam runs relied heavily on teledippers during their construction Whilst more traditional long reach excavators and crane skips were also used, they could not match versatility and productivity of teledippers A 28m rig fitted to a CAT 345 was achieving 90 tonnes an hour pulling up loose material from 20m and loading directly into trucks A reminder if anyone needed it, that construction is a dangerous business
Recently published figures for the year 2010 – 2011 show that fifty people were killed in UK sector during this period Whilst down slightly on same year before, this is still pretty horifying figure Click on the below link to read full article >> http://www.hse.gov.uk/statistics/fatals.htm The tiny desert kingdom of Kuwait, continues to lead the way with water treatment projects, with teledippers a key part of their construction
Sulaibiya Wastewater Treatment project, Shuwaikh Water Treatment plant, and now Shuwaikh Reverse Osmosis RO plant – all completed in record time, needed hundreds of shafts and chambers to be sunk during their construction The last of these projects which will be able to treat 136,000 cubic metres of seawater a day, is just coming on stream – First Square supplied two of the teledippers to complete this project http://www.water-technology.net/projects/shuwaikh-ro-project/ The use of teledippers in Australia is well established
Whether to excavator a start shaft for a micro pipejacking rig such as an Akkerman, or a monster of the deep Tunnel Boring Machine TBM such as a Robins or Herrenknecht, teledippers are the way to go with safe, quick and easy excavation of access shafts We have recently commissioned a CNC plasma cutter in our fabrication shop
Bringing this process in house helps us to keep a ‘handle’ on quality and therefore eliminate fitting problems – particularly important on retro fit kits, as manufacture is carried out with machine present for ‘fine adjustments’ Financial analysts IHS Global Insight recently concluded that 2012 – 2015 growth outlook for European construction sector will be 1.5%
Whilst better than the freefall 3 years ago, it is not as good as world average of 4.3% expected for same period For full article see http://www.khl.com/magazines/international-construction/detail/item67013/Economic-outlook:Europe’s-debt-burden/ Award winning tunnelling contractor Ward & Burke won a large contract to sink multiple shafts in Toronto region
First Square had a used 28m teledipper in stock and were able to load and dispatch in a few days to enable customer to start job on time – no other supplier could match this Unit was fitted to a CAT 345 and went straight to work …… super fast delivery |
