we only use Demarec andCat MP20 - MP40, very pleased with their product. They are our main product due to the service net pon/cat and Volvo have in Norway.

The pic shows a Volvo700 with MP40 concrete crusher, Hitachi460 with MP20 Crusher, and Volvo360 with Demarec grapple.

Genesis is good but labounty is the best especially the shears... You cant beat their shears or grapples......

service and support is the key for big dollar attachments ! it;s been my experince that when i call both genesis and labounty and buy the time labounty returns my call i have had 2 or 3 conversations with genesis and parts on the way!!!

I agree it's a wonder to watch an experienced operator run one of these things.

Both Genesis and Labounty have a good reputation. I throw in Kinshofer as a 3rd alternative with maybe the best multiprocessor. There are more out there but many are rebranded or made by others, whereas these 3 build and support them themselves.

Genesis and Labounty seem about the same in price and technology - the difference could be support each offers in your area. Their multiprocessors seem heavy but that's not a big deal most times.

The Kinshofer is proven, much more established in Europe (Demarec is their brand there) and priced aggressively in the US especially the jaws. Some clever technology makes them lighter but still powerful and protected, important on a high reach.

And the jaw changeout seems easier. On a Genesis or Labounty you set the jaw on a cradle or a concrete barrier to change it - with Kinshofer you set it on the ground, unscrew one bolt with a handtool, swap jaw off the ground and redo the bolt without an issue. Using a cradle is no big issue if you plan ahead . . . but that doesn't always happen.
