Brokk Demolition




We are living in exciting times. Robots are making work sites safer, and you must agree – that’s a good thing. Let’s discuss one machine that can complete large or small demolition jobs without exposing workers to harmful emissions.




5 Exciting Benefits of Brokk Demolition


The Brokk is an electrical-powered demolition robot that can complete large and small jobs. Here’s how Brokk robots are changing the way we do demolition in the U.S.




1. Brokk demolition robots are remote-controlled.

Of course, the benefit of a remotely controlled demolition machine is that the operator can get out of harm’s way during excavation. Experienced, trained users can control the Brokk unit with unbelievable accuracy. Watch this video to see how the Brokk can maneuver.




2. Brokk demolition robots are small enough to fit into tight areas but large enough to complete big jobs.


Brokk robots are powerful enough to dig, crush, and break concrete – and remove the debris. And it is compact enough to fit into areas where a regular excavator can’t maneuver.




3. Brokk demolition robots can be used for interior and exterior projects.


Do you have an interior demolition job? Brokk demolition robots can be used in places with little ventilation. While standard excavators make fumes, a Brokk demolition machine can be used indoors without harming the operator or others in the building.

The machines can be powered by generators or wired at the job site with a conventional 460V three-phase pigtail up to 300 feet away. And because it is electric-powered, this robot demolition machine is ideal for use in hospitals and other spaces where air quality is critical.




4. Brokk demolition machines can maneuver across rugged terrain.


This robot can rotate 360 degrees, fit into elevators, and climb stairs while the user stands safely to the side. And the Brokk demolition machine has front and rear outriggers, making it stable even in uneven situations.
