The new FC75 concrete demolition processor fills a gap in the Fortress FC series and introduces a new standard in demolition attachment technology according to the company.
At the core of the FC75 is Fortress’s modular tooth system, a new design that replaces traditional multi-jaw configurations with a single, adaptable processor.
By allowing operators to configure interchangeable tooth sets on a fixed jaw structure, the FC75 eliminates the need for multiple attachments or jaw swaps. This system allows seamless transitions between primary demolition, secondary pulverizing and material processing, which reduces downtime, cost and operational complexity.
“Contractors have long faced inefficiencies caused by equipment changeovers and redundant tooling,” said Mark Baltes, Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “The FC75 was designed to solve that problem; delivering a single, flexible solution that aligns with real-world demolition demands.”

In addition to a modular design, the FC75 also features tight tolerances that enable effective tip-based rebar cutting, even with pulverizer teeth. As well, long cutting knives process large reinforcements, including beams. Fortress also designed the processor with an apexed jaw design that improves material capture at the throat and bypassing teeth to simplify sorting and reduce rehandling.
The processor also incorporates an active-pivot greasing system, reducing wear on critical components while enhancing reliability in harsh working conditions.
When creating the FC75, serviceability was a key focus of the FC75 design. Oversized access panels, a simplified internal layout and rebuildable components ensure faster maintenance and longer equipment life. A robust super-structure, machined from high-thickness plate and engineered to minimize critical weld seams, provides exceptional durability and consistent force transfer.
Weighing approximately 6,577 kg and designed for carriers starting at 34 tonnes (second member) or 57 tonnes (third member), the FC75 delivers the power and reach required for modern demolition projects while maintaining operational flexibility.
The FC75’s modular tooth system is also available on the larger FC95, extending the same benefits to high-capacity applications.
