Construction Equipment News: IHI 9NX-2 Electric Excavator makes way for CB Electric Excavator

Check out this video.  This video post was quite a surprise for us!  We were not expecting this, however, we now know why the general contractor was not at first excited about seeing our equipment show up on his job site.  But thankfully the mechanical contractor found us online and saw video of the CB Electric Excavator that more than justified his decision.  As you will see here, the general is way more than happy!  After the video read the rest of the story below.  “Why the general contractor didn’t want to see us on his job site.”

The general thought that we were a “toy” replacing the other  “toy” that had failed on his job site earlier.  I would not be excited either, if I thought you were replacing one unproductive piece of equipment with another unproductive piece.  That’s why we started recording live project video, so you can see there is a difference.

Ahh,  must I remind you all.  We are contractors, that developed this equipment for contractors.  We use the CB Electric Excavator ourselves.

Brokk 90 up for sale?

**If you haven’t seen the video on the right side of your screen yet, make sure you check it out.**

These questions have been answered within another post, but sometimes it gets overlooked.  So it has been decided to give it a brief entry of its own.

The questions:

1. “You put your Brokk 90 up for sale huh?”

2. “Why?”

The answers:

1. Yes, we put our Brokk 90 up for sale.

2. We not only perform interior demolition, but we do a lot of interior          excavation as well.  As you can see from this video post, many Brokk users will admit that it is not the best machine for digging.  But it does beat digging by hand when you can’t have fumes on your project.  We also felt the same.

The Brokk was great for demolition, especially high reach demolition.  However, we realized that most of our projects did not require remote control or high reach.

The Brokk has a longer learning curve involved than most equipment and staying on guys to do proper maintenance was costly.

This is what led to the development of the CB Electric Excavator.  We decided to develop it so that it will run the same hammer as the Brokk 90 for demolition.

So if some of the above words relate to your situation, then give us a call.  Because at 1/3 of the price it is a better option for many.

But if you do need remote control for safety and a 13 foot high reach, then we have no problem telling you to check out the Brokk 90.
