UNBEATABLE
PERFORMANCE
Nobody beatsBrokk
when it comes to demolition
at reconstructions or renovations of residential,
commercial or industrial facilities. This remote-
controlled, electric powerhouse combines
impressive hitting power with an outstanding
reach, while the operator works at a safe distance
from vibrations and falling debris.
Brokk is so light that it canwork even onweak
floors. So clever that it can take the stairs (or the
elevator) between floors. So effective that you see
the difference on the bottom line. In each project.
Triple grapple
launch by CWT
CatWork Tools has added to its G Series
demolition and sorting grapples with the
introduction of the 814 kg (1,791 lb)
G310GC for 10 to 15 tonne carriers, the
845 kg (1,859 lb) G313GC for 12 to 16
tonne carriers and the 1,142 kg (2,513
lb) G315GC for 15 to 19 tonnemachines.
They are available with a fixed upper
head or with a top plate for mounting an
adapter bracket, which allows the grapple
to be exchanged amongmultiple carriers.
Designed specifically for demolition and
sorting applications, the new grapples
feature low height and a durable shell
and hinge design in their construction.
Hydraulic components are fully protected
and the one piece push bar provides
powerful closing forces for the grab shells.
The G300GC series also features
hydraulic 360 degree rotation to allow the
grapple to approachmaterial from virtually
any angle and alsominimising the need to
move the carrier. The perforated shells
offer optimal view during operation and the
square design allowsmaximum accessibility
tomaterial. The smooth inner surface of
the shells and their high clearance promote
optimal loading.
Caterpillar has introduced the 336F L/LN to
replace its 336E L/LN tracked excavator
