Genesis, a division of International Equipment Solutions (IES), produces shears, grapples, concrete processors and specialty attachments for the scrap processing, demolition, material handling and decommissioning industries.

The scrap shears range from the 2.5-onne GXP200 to the 25-tonne GXP2500R, suitable for a 160-tonne carrier.

The GSG range of orange peel grabs up to 1.91m3 capacity will complement the range of Fuchs material handlers sold by the Blue Group.

Blue Fuchs managing director Terry Hughes said: "The Genesis range fits in perfectly to the existing range of equipment sold and serviced by Blue. We can now offer our existing and new clients a full package for the business whether it be demolition or recycling/re-handling."

A first sale, a GXP660R MAXX, has been made to Central Demolition for use on its Agillent Tecnologies project in Scotland. The shear is being used for both the structural demolition as well as the sizing of materials before they are dispatched from site.

"The GXP660R is proving its worth on this project. The tool is an excellent performer with high cutting forces combined in a well-built unit," said Central Demolition managing director Ross Craig.
