Brokk
Brokk is a line of remote-controlled demolition robots and power packs used in construction, mining, and industrial plants to break concrete and steel with attachments while keeping operators at a safer standoff distance.
Brokk, headquartered in Sweden, has sold compact demolition machines since the 1970s and now promotes electrically oriented SmartPower+ drivetrains on newer models such as the Brokk 110+ and Brokk 130+ (Brokk, 2026). The robots carry hydraulic breakers, crushers, shears, and other tools for interior gutting, selective demolition, and furnace tear-outs where space is tight.
Operators steer machines with radio remotes, which reduces exposure to collapse zones, heat, and dust compared with standing on scaffolds with handheld tools. Brokk publishes model comparison pages, downloadable catalogs, and press notes on Smart Attachments that pair with the latest power packs (Brokk, 2025).
The brand appears across construction, cement, and metal-processing events, including trade-show booths outside pure building work, because the same carriers serve refractory maintenance and heavy industry. Training and distributor networks handle regional service, parts, and certification expectations.
When sizing equipment, teams compare weight, reach, and attachment compatibility; Brokk???s site encourages using the compare-models workflow before purchase or rental (Brokk, 2026).

Frequently asked questions
How are Brokk machines controlled?
Brokk markets radio remote operation so the operator stands off to the side while the robot handles the tool. This is the core safety story versus handheld breakers in hazardous zones.
What attachments fit Brokk robots?
Common options include hydraulic hammers, crushers, and shears. Brokk also advertises Smart Attachments designed for the SmartPower+ generation; check the catalog for pairing rules.
Is Brokk only for construction?
Case studies span building demolition, cement kilns, copper plants, and other heavy industry. The same carrier architecture serves vertical markets beyond general construction.
Where can I compare Brokk models?
The official site hosts a compare-models page and downloadable catalog PDFs that list weights, dimensions, and performance figures for each generation.
Does Brokk sell electric machines?
Recent launches emphasize SmartPower+ electric-oriented drivetrains on models such as Brokk 110+ and Brokk 130+. Verify runtime and charging needs with your dealer for indoor rules.
Brokk vs mini excavator for interior demo?
Brokk robots are sized for stairs, slabs, and furnace entries where excavators cannot fit. Excavators win on open sites with trucking; Brokk wins on tight indoor selective removal.
