Innovative technology ensures optimal efficiency on the job site

The right piece of equipment for every challenge

For contractors in the civil engineering sector, the right hydraulic attachments make all the difference: they increase productivity and reduce operating costs. With a complete range of attachments and specialized advice, Tramac listens to its customers’ needs and provides the right equipment for every excavator and application.

As the exclusive distributor of an extensive range of attachments, Tramac guarantees high-quality technology and reliable service. In addition to distributing major international brands such as Montabert demolition hammers, Demarec crushers, ICE vibratory hammers, fully automatic OilQuick couplers, and tiltrotators from MRT or HKS, Tramac also offers a wide range of augers, hydraulic cutters, breaker buckets, and grapples.

Strong partnerships

The Belgian company, which operates well beyond the country’s borders, can rightly call itself a specialist in hydraulic attachments for earthmoving machines. Benoit Vercruysse has been the face of Tramac for 25 years. As such, he is uniquely qualified to advise on the proper use of hydraulic hammers, demolition attachments, and sorting grapples.

Montabert knows this too: for 58 years, the French manufacturer of high-quality hydraulic attachments has placed its trust in Tramac as its exclusive distributor. In collaboration with Demarec and HyReco, representation of this premium brand is ensured in every corner of the Netherlands. Tramac’s expertise even extends to Africa, where Montabert’s dealer network spans 12 countries, recently led by Benoit Vercruysse and his team.

The Power of Specialization

“The sale, rental, service, and maintenance of hydraulic attachments is a specialty in its own right,” says Benoit Vercruysse, managing director of Tramac Benelux. “An excavator specialist doesn’t necessarily have knowledge of attachments. However, there is a strong link between the proper use of attachments and the service life, productivity, and fuel consumption of excavators. When you consider that the operating cost of a demolition hammer accounts for 10 percent of an excavator’s total operating cost, it’s definitely worth investing in high-quality equipment.”

Powerhouses in Action

“Large-scale road construction projects are currently underway and still planned in both the Netherlands and Belgium. The demolition of viaducts and bridges requires the use of appropriate equipment. A perfect fit for the Montabert V-Series. This range of heavy-duty hydraulic demolition hammers includes six models for carriers weighing 18 to 120 metric tons. A good real-world example is the redevelopment of the traffic interchange at Brussels Airport. There, road construction company Aclagro is making intensive use of the V7000 supplied by Tramac,” says Benoit. “Tramac also offers solutions for the heaviest work among its tiltrotators. For example, the MRT 42 is suitable for excavators ranging from 35 to 42 metric tons.”

A pioneer in energy management

“Montabert demolition hammers are considered the undisputed masters of energy control. The V-series features key innovations such as automatic impact control, which adjusts the energy per blow and the number of blows based on the hardness of the material. This maximizes productivity and protects both the machine and the equipment from severe shocks, thereby preventing downtime,” explains Benoit. Another key feature is the integrated pressure regulator. “While other breakers suffer significantly from fluctuations in the excavator’s oil pressure supply, the Montabert regulator maintains a reliable and constant pressure, regardless of variations in oil flow. In practice, a heavy-duty hydraulic breaker with a working pressure of 160 bar always delivers its full impact energy.”.
