Brokk continues to develop remote-control demolition robots that deliver more power in a smaller package.
It has launched four new models – the electric 170, 200, 300 and diesel 520D – that feature the company’s three-part SmartConcept system, designed to improve performance and uptime. Smart Concept consists of the following:
Brokk introduced the next-generation models in April at Intermat in Paris and plans their North American debut at World of Concrete 2019, which will be January 22-25 in Las Vegas.
The new Brokk 170 offers 15 percent more power over its predecessor, the Brokk 160, with the same compact size. The 170 delivers 299 foot-pounds per blow with its 453-pound Brokk BHB 205 hydraulic breaker. Along with breakers, it can handle such attachments as buckets, clamshell buckets, concrete crushers, grapples and metal shears. Its three-part arm extends 16 feet vertically and 14 feet horizontally. The machine also offers continuous 360-degree rotation.
The new 2-ton Brokk 200 can carry attachments one weight class above its size, of 4,630 pounds. It comes with a new Brokk BHB 305 breaker that hits 40 percent harder than the breaker on the 170. Its vertical and horizontal reach is 15 percent longer while retaining the compact size of the Brokk 160. The company says it is ideal for heavy-duty jobs in tight spaces.
