NewRoadProducts BROKK The 'Monster Brokk' The Brokk 800 demolition machine seen at World of Concrete and referred to by the com- pany as the "Monster Brokk," is more than twice as big as Brokk's previous largest model, the Brokk 400. It's the most powerful demolition robot available in the Brokk lineup and currently on the market. The Brokk 800 is available in two versions, the 800S and 800P. The 800S features Brokk's signature three-arm system and offers a maximum reach of nearly 30 feet. When equipped with the included MB1000 breaker, the Brokk 800S produces 1,500 feet per pound at the tip of the tool, nearly twice the hitting power of the Brokk 400. Specially designed with added heat protection, the 800P is intended for use in challenging process applications.

The sweeper can be mounted on a variety of conventional and cabover chassis. The mechanical sweeper works by picking up the debris from the roadway and moving it into the sweeping path, where the rear broom sweeps the debris onto a conveyor system, which in turn car- ries the debris to the 5-cubic-yard hopper.

This is so that concrete rolls up in front of the screed cutting off high spots and filling in low spots. The aluminum pipe screed can be purchased or cut into any length up to 22 feet, making screeds tailor-made for various jobs. Contractors can switch from one length of pipe to another in just a matter of seconds by means of quick disconnects.

The spreaders are engineered for use with light-, medium- and heavy-duty trucks. The agitator and 6- or 9-inch auger with re- turn flighting ensures constant material flow. Both the R-69 and R-99 replace- ment tailgate spreader models fasten to existing dump body hardware for fast mounting and removal without the use of special tools. Standard features include: a full-width agitator driven by a roller chain off the auger shaft and two-hydraulic-motor operation (one at the auger and one at the spinner for independent variable speed control).

The system is entirely self-contained and does not require constant charging to any power source. Because the battery is self-contained, the LoJack system can now be hidden in additional locations on a piece of equipment, making it more covert. Write 54 on reader card
