The new Brokk SmartPower+ line of demolition robots boosts endurance, intelligence and operability for the remote-controlled machines.
The new range includes the Brokk 70+, 170+, 200+, 300+ and 500+ demolition robots.
“We are thrilled to introduce SmartPower+, a new generation of demolition robots that redefine the demolition landscape. This innovative advancement reflects Brokk’s dedication to pushing the limits and providing operators cutting-edge machines that surpass expectations,” said Martin Krupicka, CEO of Brokk Group.
SmartPower+ robots increase operational uptime with consistent power delivery over time. Engineered with rugged components, Brokk’s newest generation is resistant to shock, temperature and vibrations. As well, all new robots and control boxes are dust and water protected to an IP65 equivalent improving reliability regardless of the work conditions.
Brokk’s SmartPower+ generation also includes an 87 per cent reduction in cables and connectors, reducing weak points while facilitating servicing and troubleshooting and increasing the lifespan of the robot.
To improve upon the operating experience, SmartPower+ provides more precision, better response times and ease of operation. A new and improved lightweight control box weighing less than 3 kg also contributes to more enjoyable and comfortable work shifts.
The new ergonomically designed control box features tilted joysticks, easier-to-reach features and faster dual charging. Brokk’s SmartPower+ control box includes the innovative Brokk QuickSwitch and intuitive settings for an improved operating experience, making it easier than ever to operate a Brokk robot, and in turn, easier to find and train operators.

With Brokk’s new range of SmartPower+ robots, operators can perform demolition tasks without shifting their gaze from the machine between commands, according to the company.
“With nearly five decades of experience, Brokk understands the challenges many industry professionals face in finding skilled operators to get the job done right,” Krupicka said. “This is precisely why we are committed to creating solutions for both seasoned professionals and new operators alike, setting a new benchmark in the demolition landscape.”
The new generation of machines also features added intelligence for the operator. Visual status updates through incremental light indicators allow the operator to focus their attention on the demolition work at hand while monitoring the status of the machine.
A two-way communication system communicates the status back to the operator in real time, while customized features enhance the operating experience.
Brokk’s SmartPower+ generation is smarter too, alerting the operator about any unwanted power supply or machine status, further contributing to an increase in uptime and overall reliability. SmartPower+ is enabled for future over-the-air upgrades.
