Description

Traditionally, the removal of concrete by hand-held breaking methods is a laborious, time consuming and often hazardous job. Laborers are frequently exposed to unhealthy amounts of noise, dust, vibrations and, when engaged in vertical or overhead demolition, tremendous danger from falling debris. Introduction of the Brokk 250 remote controlled demolition robot has provided a dimension of safety and performance previously unattainable with manual methods or with traditional carriers of mounted breakers. The rig has demonstrated its versatility in a number of diverse applications such as concrete demolition, rock breaking and scaling, slag removal in kilns and furnaces, dredging and loading
