Using a Brokk demolition machine can increase your efficiency, but equipping it with the right tools for the job can maximize it.
A Brokk machine with a breaker is more efficient than handheld options. Breaker points designed to maximize production in specific situations can take that efficiency even further and equate to substantial cost savings.
While there are many types of points, the three must-haves for any operator who does a considerable amount of demolition are the moil, chisel and blunt.
•Moil – The moil point is shaped like a pencil and is ideal for breaking hard concrete reinforced with rebar. Operators can place the point’s narrow tip into cracks and between the rebar to quickly separate material.
•Chisel – A chisel point looks similar to a screwdriver and will give you the best splitting action. It’s available in standard and wide widths.
•Blunt – The blunt point features a flat face with more surface area to deliver more impact when breaking slab concrete.
Brokk also offers the slab buster or “elephants foot” point, which is shaped like a bell and can double production of slab and on-grade demolition. In addition, we offer piercing tools for cutting steel plate, and our 6-foot bits are ideal for accessing hard-to-reach areas.
Brokk provides information about tools and attachments as part of our comprehensive training program. We’re also available to answer questions and demonstrate how they can take your efficiency to the next level. To learn more, call 800-621-7856.
