New Brokk launched at

In PDi issue 5-2008 we revealed
the new Brokk 400, the
4.8 t and largest Brokk machine,
which replaced the existing
Brokk 330. At that time
Brokk was also developing
another new model the Brokk
260, which was subsequently
introduced at the World of Concrete
exhibition in January to
replace the popular Brokk 250.
The design might not be the same as the forerunner
but in terms of capacity the Brokk 260 has been developed
to take up where Brokk 250 finished. “Since
Brokk 250 went out of production in 2000 we have
often heard our clients speaking about it with great
admiration. So during the past couple of years time
we have developed a new and better version of Brokk
250 which we call Brokk 260,” says Brokk President
Per Waldemarson when PDi met him at World of
Concrete.

A Brokk 250 with modern techniques
Brokk had previously shown the new Brokk 260
as a sort of appetiser at the Scandinavian show,
Building Machinery, in early January. The reaction
from the industry has been very encouraging, even
though there have been few opportunities to test it.
Since the international launch at WOC a number
of machines have been sold in Europe and the New
York demolition contractor Robo Breaking, known
to be a big supporter and specialist in operating the
former Brokk 250, has tested the first machine in
the US.
Brokk 260 completes the machine programme.
It is similar in weight and size
to the Brokk 250, but Brokk 260 is
also a lot different from its forerunner,
especially with the new technical
solutions it is equipped with. This is
an all-round machine in which
Brokk has optimized power,
capacity and size for use
in precise demolition of
buildings and for demolition
jobs within the concrete and process
industry. Brokk 260 is based on the vast Brokk knowledge,
but is at the same time built for new construction
solutions. “Brokk 260 is a machine that is built for use
in even tougher environments then its forerunner. A
huge amount of effort has been made to design a well
balanced machine that is stable during operation as
well as transportation,” says Brokk Technical Manager
Gunnar Bystedt. The machine weighs only 3050 kg
and has a reach of 5.8m. Equipped with Atlas Copco´s
new hydraulic breaker SB 302 the machine and the
breaker establish a powerful combination.
“Our favourite machine is back!”
A wide range of performance and quality tests has
preceded the launch of the Brokk 260. The test work
has included a range of field trials
by Brokk´s designers and also by
external well experienced operators.
The Swedish demolishing
company Rivners AB was
given the opportunity to
test the machine on a
large job in Stockholm.
A satisfied project manager,
Kent Winborg, says
“Finally our favourite size
of Brokk machine is back.
We are very impressed by
its large capacity combined
with flexibility and efficiency.”
Production of the Brokk 260
has started and the first units
were delivered in March.
