2019-02-28

Brokk, the world?s leading manufacturer of remote-controlled demolition machines, introduces the new Brokk 300, which features 40 per cent more demolition power than its predecessor, the Brokk 280. It also boasts Brokk SmartConcept? technological features that improve power management, reliability, maintainability and ergonomics. The Brokk 300 is one of the four new next generation Brokk remote-controlled demolition machines the company showcased at World of Concrete 2019 in Las Vegas.

The mid-sized Brokk 300 is just 47.2 inch (1.2 m) wide, but can handle larger attachments weighing as much as 1,102 pounds (500 kg). With Brokk?s new SmartConcept system, operators also experience improved performance and uptime. SmartConcept consists of three features: SmartPower?, SmartDesign? and SmartRemote?. The intelligent electrical system, SmartPower, protects the machine from the damage that can be caused by poor power supplies while optimising power and hydraulic performance in extreme temperatures. SmartDesign extends machine life and provides unprecedented ease of maintenance due to 70 per cent fewer cables as well as hardened components, LED headlights and easily accessible grease points and hydraulic hoses. An ergonomic remote-control box, the SmartRemote, incorporates adjustable straps, intuitive controls and professional-grade radio technology with a 984-ft (300-m) working range.

The Brokk 300 offers exceptional reach and movement. The three-part arm extends to 21 ft (6.5 m) vertically and 20 ft (6 m) horizontally. The arm also rotates 360o for optimal flexibility.
