If you’ve been in downtown Myrtle Beach lately, you may have noticed two hotels slowly disappearing from the skyline. 👀
One is seven stories and the other is thirteen, and they’re coming down one piece at a time.
Danny Allen, owner of Allen’s Demolition, is running the job from the seat of his new Volvo EC500 High Reach Excavator. The arm reaches about 89 feet up, and from there a Genesis Razer shear cuts through concrete and rebar walls floor by floor.
There’s not much room to work downtown, but Danny and the EC500 are making it look easy.
Lucas Guest, Mickey Freeman and Dalton Fulmer from our Ascendum Machinery team have been on site supporting Danny and his crew along the way.
