Over a quarter century of understanding of attachments

Operating from Duiven and Lisserbroek, the company offers a solution in every situation when there is a need for attachments for, among other things, (mini)-shovels, front loaders, telehandlers and excavators. High-quality brand name parts that can be obtained via purchase or rental and with which every (civil-engineering) job can be done to perfection. Fast, safe and efficient. And is something broken or does an attachment need a thorough overhaul or maintenance? Even then you can always successfully knock on the door of the team led by Aart-Jan Bos and Joost Wassink. GWW took a fascinating look inside the walls of a versatile company.

Advanced Construction Demolition Equipment Nederland: that is the official name of the company that has been working successfully in the civil engineering sector since 1994. It is quite a mouthful. That is why the specialist in attachments prefers to present itself briefly and powerfully as ACDE Netherlands. A denominator under which a wide and deep range of supplies is grouped with which clients in the world of ground, road and water can do their work properly. "Our assortment is more than complete," emphasizes Wassink, who since 2016 with partner Bos (also owner of the Lisserbroek-based Topp Tools) has been in charge of ACDE. "In terms of sales and rental, you've come to the right place for demolition hammers, vibratory hammers, grabs, demolition shears, concrete tongs, concrete pulverizers, routers, hand tools and much more. Depending on the type of equipment available in different versions: from manual to hydraulic, from fixed to rotating. We also offer a wide range of spare parts. Whatever you are looking for, ACDE offers a quality solution for every job."

Top Brands

A glance at ACDE's well-organized website not only confirms the company's versatility. The brand names mentioned also underline the quality-oriented approach. In the field of demolition hammers, ACDE is the official brand dealer of Furukawa (FRD) and since October last year also of Rammer. Two names with which the wide range of customers are custom serviced. "Although both brands stand for the highest quality, at the same time they also differ from each other," says Wassink. "Whereas Rammer's full-hydraulic demolition hammers hit faster and make more strokes per minute, Furukawa's again give a bit more power. We sell both, simply to meet every conceivable demand. That's why we also carry the attachments from Okada, a brand used by many of our customers. In that context, we have for some time been working very pleasantly with Kemp in de Meern, the Dutch importer of the brand who also buys various products from us."   

Service

Choosing ACDE's expertise is also choosing excellence in service. Regardless of the brand or when it is needed. "Our customers aim to carry out their works quickly, efficiently and with as little downtime or equipment failure as possible," says Wassink. "Hence, we are on standby 24/7 to solve any technical problems competently and within no time. One phone call is enough to get back to work quickly. Our workshops in Duiven and Lisserbroek guarantee this. Within these fully equipped service centers everything is available for a tiptop repair, revision or periodic maintenance. Specifically for attachments from Furukawa (FRD), Rammer, Atlas-Copco (Epiroc), Zijtveld, Okada, Socomec, Darda and Antraquip. But also when it comes to other brands. We are at home in all markets. In addition, we never present the customer with unpleasant surprises. Before we actually start the repair, overhaul or maintenance, we make sure we have a clear understanding of the costs. We then strive to complete the work in the shortest possible time. Is there a rush or does a rental machine not offer a solution? Then, depending on the supply of parts, we simply keep working until the machine is operational again. Another quality with which we have made a difference for over a quarter of a century."     

Perky references: Dusseldorp Infra

ACDE Netherlands recently provided Dusseldorp Infra, Sloop en Milieutechniek with two machines to be used during the circular demolition of the former Rabobank data center in Zeist. "This involves a Furukawa FXJ770 demolition hammer weighing 4,800 kilograms that is completely in Dusseldorp's colors," says Wassink. "In addition, we delivered an Okada ORC280AVHR rotary pulverizer within the 24-hour time frame."

Puike references: Enzerink

Another client involves Enzerink B.V. of Hengelo. The convenience of ordering via text or WhatsApp message seems to please the company, a long-time customer of ACDE. Regardless of whether it is a sealing set for an existing machine, renting a machine or purchasing a completely new attachment. "Thanks in part to the short lines of communication and being able to respond quickly to their inquiries, we have maintained an excellent relationship with Enzerink for many years," Wassink said.
