Housing construction

Working in construction means spending long days out in the open, doing work which places a high strain on the human body. In these cases, a Knikmops is indispensable. The multifunctional articulated loader with its many available attachments can be used on construction sites or in warehouses for loading and unloading. The Knikmops can therefore substantially lighten the strain on a worker’s body. The Knikmops can be used for lifting or carrying materials, but also for driving a variety of different hydraulic attachments, for instance a mortar mixer or a concrete transportation bucket.

Demolition

There are many different factors involved in demolition works. Passages are often narrow but still require large quantities of material to be passed through. An ideal machine is therefore narrow and light but still able to carry heavy loads. The Knikmops can offer the necessary relief here. Thanks to its low-width but sturdy construction, this machine has high lifting force relative to its own weight. The steel chassis is also very robust, so the operator need not worry too much about falling rubble. The articulated loader made by Gebroeders Geens is also multifunctional and therefore perfect for a variety of tasks: lifting, carrying off, cleaning etc.

“Rik Matthysen of the Matthysen family business together with his brothers decided to purchase a Knikmops. They specialise in smaller demolition works, so they were looking for a machine that could help them in tight, hard-to-reach spots. The articulated loader had to be robust and sturdy, which is certainly the case for the steel chassis of a Knikmops. An added benefit was its low weight, which made the machine easy to transport on a trailer. The Knikmops most of all allows the work to proceed at a faster pace.”

“Kris took over the family business and wanted to lighten the work load for his team. Creative solutions often needed to be found for unloading or supplying building materials, so the work often ended up being done manually. Knikmops takes care of these tasks for the workers, and helps team members to spare their backs. In the end, the Knikmops has made the work more enjoyable and made everything go just a little faster. The resale value of the Knikmops was also an important aspect for Kris, as the machine lasts very long and therefore its value does not really drop.”
