Brokk 90 Robot vs IHI 9NX-2 Electric Excavator vs CB Electric Excavator

This chart is a comparison of the some of most important features on these 3 electric powered machines. All data taken from manufacturers published materials where available.
* Please note that the Brokk 90 is remote control and is designed for high reach. So if most of your work requires remote control and breaking over 8 feet high, then the Brokk is a good option for you.
**The previous statement was written to prevent the emails to us about an “unfair” comparison or our “lack of knowledge” about the Brokk. We know all about the Brokk. It’s a good machine. We owned and operated a Brokk 90.**
We just found that most of our indoor contracting jobs did require fume free, but didn’t require remote control or a vertical reach of 13 feet high. That’s what lead to the birth of the CB Electric Excavator. And for about 1/3 of the price of a Brokk 90, a lot of other contractors understand what we mean.
