The machine being delivered is the primary demolition machine; it has a very long arm with powerful hydraulic pincers at the end. The idea is that the pincers can fairly quietly crush the concrete structure of Bernard Morgan House. I suspect it will be less quiet when the crushed chunks drop down to ground level, but we'll see.
Also worth noting that the courts have not yet delivered an opinion on the validity of the City's permission for the demolition, so it's possible that the machine delivered on Saturday will have to be simply removed again having done no damage. We'll see.
Here is the notice from Taylor Wimpey about their noisy work:

Dear Neighbour
I write to update you that a high reach excavator will be delivered to the site this Saturday (2nd December) between 9am and 2pm. Due to the size of the delivery this will need to be made when the roads are quieter and the arrangements have been agreed with the City of London. Traffic marshalls will be in place to ensure that the delivery is made as safely as possible and reduce any potential disruption for neighbours.
Taylor Wimpey Central London are committed to keeping the local community up to date and will continue to keep you informed as works progress. If you would like any further information please do not hesitate to contact us at construction@cascadepr.co.uk or call our Freephone number 08081 686 677
Kind regards
Chris Rumsey
For and on behalf of Taylor Wimpey Central London
