7571 Brokk showcased its 800S demolition machine to the North American market for the first time during 3485 Conexpo 2014 in Las Vegas, US.

The 800 machines are the firm’s most powerful demolition robots and, Brokk claims, the most powerful on the market. The Brokk 800S is built for the most extreme tunnelling, mining and construction work, and the Brokk 800P is for hot ladle, converter cleaning or whole refractory renovations in metal processing industries.

The Brokk 800S features Brokk’s signature three-arm system, and offers a maximum reach of nearly 9.2m. When equipped with the included 161 Atlas Copco MB 1000 breaker, the Brokk 800 robots produce 2033Nm of force at the tip of the tool, nearly twice the hitting power of the Brokk 400.

Brokk specially designed the 800P with added heat protection for use in challenging process applications. It includes an extra-durable, heat-protected SB302 hydraulic breaker to work with hot ladles, runners and furnaces, and the machine delivers 610Nm of force at the tip of the solid-body hammer. The Brokk 800P’s three-arm system rotates 360° to reach challenging angles with precision, and offers an impressive reach of 9.6m.

The Brokk 800 machines are powered by 44.74kW electric motors for safe, emission-free operation in confined areas or can be equipped with diesel engines. And, like all Brokk machines, their remote-controlled operation allows operators to remain a safe distance from work so there is less risk of injury from hazards such as high heat and falling debris.

The Brokk 800S weighs 11.02tonnes excluding attachments, and the 800P weighs 11.26tonnes without attachments. Both are able to carry attachments up to 1.11tonnes, including beam grapples, buckets, drilling equipment and shotcrete units. In all, Brokk offers eight models in a variety of sizes and capacities. The smallest, the Brokk 60, weighs about 498.95kg.

    Demolition is a highly specialised business, as the machinery required to carry out the work on high-rise demolition contracts can be very site specific. Today's high reach demolition rig is no longer simply a tracked excavator with a long boom, indeed some machines cannot be used as excavators at all. Likewise a machine that is dedicated to carrying a 2.5 or 3tonne shear or hammer will need to be built to take the stresses and strains of demolition life.
