The use of robotic equipment allows for many new and innovative ways to perform demolition work. The use of emission free units eliminates environmental impact and allow for interior and confined space work. The use of remote-control operation significantly reduces the health and safety risks to individual workers on site and exponentially increases productivity.
The innovation of an electric-powered remote-controlled demolition robot that is compact enough to fit into areas where a regular excavator cannot. It is used for areas where fumes cannot be present, or that might be hazardous and would be unsafe for a standard excavator. Despite its small size, the Brokk is can complete major demolition projects and can dig, break, crush, and remove large areas of concrete. It can also rotate 360 degrees, fit into elevators or climb stairs, and has front and rear outriggers making it stable even in uneven situations.
The Brokk uses a state of the art remote control system that allows our operators to control the unit with extreme accuracy, while also ensuring safety. It can also be powered by our trucks or generators or can be wired at the job site with a conventional 460V three-phase pigtail up to 300 feet away. Because it is electric powered, this demolition machine is emissions-free and is ideal for use in hospitals and other sensitive enclosed spaces. Our demolition robots occupy a special niche within the demolition industry—they are ideal for confined space, selective demolition where power and precision are at a premium. More recently, large models have been put to use in top-down demolition projects, replacing high-reach excavators in multi-story demolition jobs. Other demolition projects include interior strip outs, bank vaults, parking garages, smokestacks, sports arenas and much more.
