FAQ Why not just use conventional excavators for demolition?

Brokk machines are designed for demolition with heavy hydraulic attachments. The productivity is much higher and according to customers up to 5 times more powerful than same size excavators. The remote control puts the operator in a position to do controlled demolition and cut rebars for instance. Brokk machines are electric driven and which open up possibilities to work inside buildings with no fumes. If equipped with concrete crushers you can do silent demolition 24/7 without disturbance to the surrounding and speed up the project. The low weight makes it possible to work on upper floors with less, or no need for propping.
